The Role
You are an experienced and seasoned Client Servicer; meticulous, process-driven and a true people-person. You establish, build and maintain close and meaningful relationships with one of Koto’s pillar accounts and can work strategically towards Koto’s commercial goals.
Your Responsibilities
- You manage the day-to-day running of multiple projects with ease and are able to work quickly, carefully and autonomously to ensure we deliver projects on time and on budget.
- You know how to sell the Koto experience, prepping and taking part in Koto’s new business activities and help to ensure we put our best foot forward.
- You build great relationships with your clients and internal teams — you know how to advocate for both and communicate clearly to each (both verbally and in writing).
- You champion best practices across project management and client service, providing the best level of care and service to our clients throughout their time with us.
- You own your projects and their resourcing, knowing who’s on what at all times whilst having one strategic eye on the future to aid your CSD with planning.
- You can negotiate with ease. Contracts, fees, extensions, feedback. You can hold your own and bring clients back on side when the going gets tough.
- You navigate and report financial data with clarity to your MD and finance team and can easily pull up reports and talk to them using our latest reporting tools. You take an active role in our KPIs and are aware of our monthly financial goals and support our journey to meeting them.
- You nurture and mentor junior members of your team, guiding their decision-making behind the scenes to empower them to own their relationships.
- You have a passion and interest in branding and the design community and are able to talk confidently to this in meetings and internal discussion.
- You have a willingness to work in person in our London studio, be an active part of our studio’s culture and are open to travel globally, from Stuttgart to San Francisco.
