About us

You Platforms is the group behind Leeds-List, Yorkshire-List and Manchester-List — trusted regional publishing brands with engaged audiences across the North. We deliver content-led, multi-channel campaigns across web, social, email and experiential, helping brands achieve stronger attention, engagement and commercial outcomes than traditional media.

This role is different from most digital agency account management jobs. You won’t be managing slow-moving retainers at arm’s length. You’ll be working in a content agency environment where campaigns move quickly, expectations are high, and account managers are expected to proactively shape results, spot opportunities and keep momentum high from onboarding through to rebooking.

You’ll need to be confident with clients, comfortable in a fast-paced delivery environment, and motivated by making campaigns perform better over time. Our measure of client success is rebooking, so this role suits someone who sees optimisation, responsiveness and commercial ownership as part of great account management.
