At Hampton, we believe great client relationships are at the heart of great creative work. We're looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our Client Services team on a fixed-term contract to help shape, deliver and grow successful partnerships with clients across a range of sectors. This role is expected to last approximately 12 months, although the duration may vary depending on the return date of the postholder.

About the Role

Reporting to our Account Director, the ideal candidate would ideally have three years' account management experience, a commercial mindset, and a genuine passion for great client service.

What does the role involve?

As part of a collaborative and ambitious team, you'll:

  • Build, nurture and maintain strong client relationships, becoming a trusted advisor and strategic partner
  • Lead projects from initial brief through to delivery, working closely with our creative and digital teams
  • Develop project plans, scopes, quotations and creative briefs that set projects up for success
  • Ensure projects are delivered profitably, on schedule and in line with client objectives
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, introducing clients to additional solutions that create value for their organisations

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
