The Role
You are an experienced client manager; meticulous, process-driven, and a true people-person. You build and maintain close and meaningful relationships with Koto’s clients, know the detail of your projects like the back of your hand, and work to support 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 take an active role in Koto’s new business activities, ensure creds are created, 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 follow 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 can write a solid project proposal and timeline and can own your projects and their resourcing. You know who’s on what at all times while having one eye on the future.
- You feel confident to negotiate. Upsells, scope extensions, feedback. You can bring clients back on side when the going gets tough but you can manage any legal or financial concerns upwards.
- 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 support junior members of the team, guiding their decision-making behind the scenes to empower them to own their relationships.
- You have a sound awareness of branding and the design community and are able to talk confidently about this.
- 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.
