Account Executive in City of London

At Cherry, we don’t just manage our client accounts, we immerse ourselves in their worlds, and in return we offer them expertise from our diverse collective of thinkers and doers. It’s this combination that allows us to deliver bold ideas. We’re looking for someone who is curious, energetic, and gets stuck in. You’ll be organised, collaborative, and excited to learn. As part of a team that moves fast and thinks smart, you’ll thrive on finding agile solutions when others stall, and bring energy, detail and initiative to every project.

The Role

As an Account Executive, you’ll support the wider client services team by managing a range of key projects under the guidance of an Account Manager and Account Director.

• Own status reports, contact reports and key administrative tasks
• Proofread, quality check and constructively challenge work at each stage of development
• Liaise with internal teams to push projects through at pace
• Build trusted relationships with our clients, becoming the day‑to‑day contact for project updates and respond to requests in a timely and effective manner
• Identify and share relevant information and insights, bringing the right people into the loop at the right time
• Create and manage estimates, budgets and timelines
• Support the Cherry Marketing team with client outreach and management of social media channels
• Take initiative to spot gaps, remove blockers and keep things progressing

Skills Required

• A genuine interest in life science and healthcare
• Some experience working in a communications agency would be a bonus
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Great communication and time management abilities
• A proactive approach and an eagerness to learn and grow
• Confidence working in a fast‑paced environment
• The ability to multitask and adapt quickly without losing focus
