Job Title: Senior Account Manager

Level: Associate Director

Work Location: Berlin (Remote First but need to be able to come into office when needed)

Start Date: ASAP

 

Whalar is the leading, most awarded, independent Creator and Social Agency.  We transform brands into cultural drivers by unlocking the full creative power of Creators. 

We go beyond the conventional social and influencer strategy. We have the technology and methodology to tap into the beating pulse of communities, listen to nuances that move culture, and connect brands in ways that make them unforgettable.

With hubs in Berlin, London, New York, and Los Angeles, our reach is global.

About the Client Services team: 

The Client Services team has ultimate responsibility for the creative output of client campaigns. Client Services ensure the smooth execution of projects and have a helicopter view over all parts of the campaign process, working with expert teams and specialist partners (both internally and externally) to bring a brand’s creative vision to life. The Associate Directors ultimately  are the gatekeepers of this vision and the guardians of the brands we work with. 

The team has three core functions: 

  1. Manage client relationships, creator partnerships, budgets and timings across any executional workflows.
  2. Act as the central resource that brings in the right expertise at the right time, facilitating collaboration.
  3. Facilitate client retention and client satisfaction through quality creative output and excellent operational and servicing standards.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day: 

  • Excellent Client Servicing: Oversee and lead on seamless day-to-day operations of campaign delivery, bringing together the right cross-functional team and ensuring projects are effectively set up for success, including set up of new workflows where needed.
  • Team Management: Be a positive, solutions-first role model and mentor, train and develop team members through robust career pathing and goal setting.
  • Financial Accountability: Deliver accurate and effective pricing plans for pre-sale work, and track budgets and spends on post-sale work, ensuring budgets are fully optimized. 
  • Process Driven: Proactively identify gaps that require new processes and tailor all workflows for efficiency  - review processes during and after campaign lifecycle and ensure learnings are shared and applied. 
  • Consultative: Listen deeply and ask big questions to help our clients go beyond their vision and goals. Offer up true creator economy expertise and knowledge of your accounts  - supporting the Business Leads with client stewardship.
  • Account Development: Develop client relationships and deepen partnerships, identifying and escalating new commercial opportunities.
  • Campaign Reporting: Work alongside the Measurement and Paid Amp teams to develop and implement media strategies, as well as bespoke, detailed measurement plans with appropriate tracking and reporting set up.
  • Presenting: Be an excellent storyteller. Present our work and represent the company to existing and prospective clients in an engaging and impactful way. 
  • Escalation: Have high trust with clients and showcase exceptional dispute resolution capabilities as well as client objection handling skills, taking a solutions first approach and serving as a point of escalation where needed. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Have 6+ years’ agency or brand experience
  • Have a proven track record of successful program delivery and account growth with large customer accounts
  • Have experience managing a team, including career development, and be a natural motivator of people
  • Have strong detail-oriented, organizational and interpersonal skills
  • Thrive in an environment where collaboration, flexibility and scrappiness are valued more than job titles, rigid structure and legacy ways of working
  • Be a curious self-starter with a problem-solving mindset and a proactive, can do attitude
  • Have a solid understanding of the creator economy, social media advertising ecosystem and an insatiable appetite for learning about industry innovations
  • Fluency in German at a native or near-native level (verbal and written) is required for this role.
