  • Consistently demonstrate your strategic capability and presentation skills in framing client challenges, defining project approaches and ensuring value based outcomes - you build trust with clients because you're passionate about being in front of them
  • Effectively empathise, synthesise and communicate client requirements in clear briefings - you know that the team's success comes down to focus and clarity of the task at hand
  • Motivate and coordinate multidisciplinary teams across studios, disciplines and partners - you understand that your team is your business and you should treat them with respect, empathy and inspiration
  • Support continual process improvements across the AKQA's evolving service offering - we are a continuous work in progress or your ability to identify improvements is what sets you apart
  • 7+ years working in a client services or account management role in digital, strategy, non-traditional advertising agency or business consulting environment
