Senior Account Executive

TEAM – Creative Marketing

LOCATION – UK London (hybrid)

Role

We are looking for an adaptable and hardworking Senior Account Executive (SAE) who will work under close supervision of senior colleagues to support in the delivery of healthcare communications programs.  As a SAE you will be working on fast-paced, science-driven accounts with a collaborative team. You will be able to demonstrate sound consultancy skills and have the ability to manage competing priorities, whilst contributing to internal projects.

Creative Marketing at AXON is all about doing the right thing. We believe that’s about honest consultation with clients, so we act in their interests but not always according to their brief. Insightful consideration to unlock more value. And pushing creativity upstream to give it more clout. All this gives us confidence in what we deliver and builds confidence in us.

Creative Marketing is the newest practice in AXON, so we have the rare opportunity to build and shape the practice just the way we want to. We’re looking for likeminded individuals who are up for the challenge and are genuinely interested in the experience of building our practice. Joining the Creative Marketing team at AXON will give team members at all levels opportunities they may not experience in your mainstream healthcare marketing agency – including opportunities to work with practices outside of creative marketing, working on Global/European accounts and internal responsibilities that help shape the direction of our practice. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.  

Creative Marketing specific SAE responsibilities/traits:  

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Understands the value and need for creativity and innovation in the work we develop for our clients, and seeks to promote its presence at every opportunity
• Possess knowledge and experience in key marketing tactics, as well as a thorough understanding of creative and digital workflow processes
• Has sound understanding of the different creative skillsets and roles and is able to determine when they should be used within tactical and conceptual projects
• Is able to build strong internal relationships with the wider client service and creative team, fostering the development of a positive team culture  
• Has experience of and is comfortable with developing written briefs for tactical projects
• Is aware of the need for the practice to be profitable and proactively manages budgets and scope creep effectively  

At AXON, we actively encourage the team to be involved in activities outside of their day-to-day work. Whether that is being involved in our social, Diversity & Inclusion, or CSR electives, attending networking events, or running training sessions on topics in which they have a personal interest. We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that’s 1 week a year dedicated to your development.

Candidate must have:

SAE experience criteria: At least 1-years’ work experience from within a client service role within an agency environment, focused on healthcare/pharma advertising.
