Role Summary and Impact
We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Account Executive to join our dedicated global central team for Skechers, one of the world’s leading footwear and lifestyle brands.
In this role, you will report directly to the Account Manager and play a vital part in coordinating global media campaigns, ensuring multi-market consistency, and supporting the day-to-day operations of the account. You will work across a dynamic mix of channels—spanning digital, paid social, CTV, print/OOH, and retail media—while helping to align core brand campaigns with our Commerce team to drive both brand awareness and e-commerce/retail growth.
This is an exceptional role for an ambitious media professional early in their career who wants to gain hands-on experience managing a high-profile global consumer account in a fast-paced agency environment.
Key Responsibilities
Global Campaign & Market Support
- Work closely with the Account Manager to ensure multi-market campaign timelines, asset delivery, and deadlines are on track across all participating regions.
- Help distribute global strategy frameworks, campaign playbooks, and creative specs to local market teams.
- Proactively identify potential campaign roadblocks or delivery delays and communicate them early to the Account Manager and client hub team.
- Support the alignment between central brand campaigns and local Commerce/E-commerce activations by ensuring channel teams have the required briefing materials and product priorities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Day-to-Day Coordination & Troubleshooting
- Serve as an operational point of contact for routine queries from international market teams and internal specialist teams.
- Coordinate central client status meetings, prepare agendas, take clear, action-oriented meeting notes, and maintain task logs.
- Maintain shared central project management tools (e.g., Teams) to keep deliverables, assets, and documentation organized and accessible globally.
Budget & Financial Management
- Assist in managing central campaign budgets, tracking global spend across markets, and updating financial tracking spreadsheets.
- Take ownership of operational financial processes: raising Purchase Orders (POs), tracking vendor invoicing, and ensuring swift billing resolution.
- Assist the Account Manager and finance teams with monthly budget reconciliations and financial checks across markets.
Performance, Reporting & Best Practice
- Help gather campaign performance data across markets and channels, ensuring accurate entry into central reporting dashboards and templates.
- Support the creation of post-campaign presentations, summarizing key performance learnings, brand metrics, and e-commerce outcomes for Skechers client stakeholders.
- Assist in building best-practice case studies and collating campaign examples from top-performing markets to share across the global Skechers network.
Skills and Experience
- Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational and time-management skills.
- Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint (or Google Workspace equivalents).
- Clear communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to interact effectively with multi-market teams.
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a positive "can-do" attitude.
- Eagerness to learn how global consumer campaigns are planned, orchestrated, and measured behind the scenes.
- Ability to multitask and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, multi-market environment.
Nice to Have:
- Prior agency experience or internship within media, digital marketing, or account management.
- Fundamental understanding of digital and media terminology across brand and commerce metrics (e.g., impressions, CTR, CPC, ROAS, conversions).
- A passion for consumer, footwear, fashion, or retail brands
