Senior Account Manager

We’ve built our reputation and grown our business by taking the time to understand what’s most important to our clients and exceeding their expectations. So this new senior account management role is a key one for us and a big opportunity for the right candidate.

This role involves a mix of managing multiple work streams and disciplines for the same client and running marketing services across several divisions of large national and multi-national clients. In every case there is a real opportunity to grow accounts substantially, learn new skills and reap the rewards through a generous bonus scheme based upon client retention and growth.

We are a HubSpot agency, helping our B2B clients to achieve true digital transformation through our business consultancy, technology and marketing services. This unusual service blend is in demand so we are growing very fast and able to offer great career opportunities to our expanding team.

Why join Axon Garside?

1. We are looking for ambitious people and there is the opportunity to grow this role to become Account Director and then Director of Client Success. We are on a fast-growth trajectory. That means that there is plenty of scope to develop your skills and career. Our culture encourages people to experiment and try new things, to shape their own role and build a career path that works for them. Our exciting plans mean that there will be even more opportunities opening up for our team in 2022 and beyond.
2. HubSpot has developed a technology platform to support every part of the client’s business and we are building a new kind of agency to deliver that vision across sales, marketing and customer service. Increasingly we are engaged to deliver a digital transformation in the way that our clients market, sell and service their customers. That means a bigger opportunity for our business and a journey that is transforming the skills and opportunities of our team.
3. Annual training budget, personal development plans and in-house, HubSpot and external training to help everyone to develop their career as well as to provide our clients with an ever-better service
4. Results-based bonus scheme. When our clients grow, we grow too and so should the opportunities of the people who have created those results. This role benefits from a bonus scheme based on client results and retention.
5. Hybrid working and a results driven approach to work rather than rigid working hours. When you’re in the office we have a great working environment in the heart of the Northern Quarter (dogs, snacks and beer - of course) but plenty of scope to work at home too.
6. We only work with brands and companies that we love because life is too short to work with people who aren’t keen to be better. Our clients all have innovative products or approaches to business, high growth potential and crucially, a culture of respect for their customers, employees and partners. They want to do the right thing, to grow fast and to enjoy what they do.
7. A commitment for our business to play its part in the community with extra days off for volunteering and community work and cycle to work scheme
