About Hunterlodge
Hunterlodge Advertising is a leading full-service marketing agency delivering innovative, insight-led campaigns across Higher Education, Financial Services, Professional Services and B2B sectors.
We combine strategic thinking, creative excellence and media expertise to help our clients achieve measurable results. As we continue to grow, we're looking for ambitious individuals who want to build a long-term career within a supportive, collaborative and high-performing agency environment.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a hands-on Senior Account Executive to join our growing team.
This is not a traditional client servicing role. We're looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of campaign delivery, working directly within advertising platforms, spotting opportunities, identifying issues and making optimisations that improve performance.
You'll act as an additional layer of support across campaign implementation and management, helping to ensure campaigns are built correctly, delivered efficiently and continuously optimised.
Working closely with our Account Directors, Media Specialists and Performance Team, you'll support campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat and programmatic platforms, while also developing strong client management and commercial skills.
This role offers a clear pathway to Account Manager within 12-18 months.
Key Responsibilities
Client Management
- Support the day-to-day management of client accounts.
- Build strong relationships with clients and become a trusted point of contact.
- Coordinate client meetings, agendas, actions and status updates.
- Ensure client requests are handled efficiently and accurately.
- Assist with campaign reporting, presentations and performance reviews.
- Support Account Directors in maintaining excellent client service standards.
