Role Description The role is being offered at either Senior Account Executive or Account Manager level, depending on experience, hence the salary range above. It is a full-time, hands-on position responsible for supporting the team and our clients, driving the successful delivery of marketing and creative projects.

On a day-to-day basis, you'll work closely with the account director and the creative team on a number of our exciting fitness accounts. You’ll be following and adding to a program of e-commerce content, creating social media posts, emails and marketing materials, sourcing images and video, writing copy, attending events tracking and reporting on campaign performance, and coordinating project timelines.

You’ll be confident in the day-to-day aspects of driving e-commerce campaigns and social media marketing, communicating with clients by email, video calls and in-person from time to time, to progress projects successfully and report on campaign status.

You’ll bring creativity to the role, contributing to brainstorms and ideation sessions, taking briefs from clients and working closely with the creative team to deliver high-quality work, with exceptional attention to detail.

And although this is a remote role, you'd never know it from how well connected we all feel, whether we're hopping on video calls during the day, joining weekly team meetings and project huddles, collaborating and supporting each other over Teams, just as if we were sitting side by side. We also arrange regular team meet-ups to work and have some fun together. So life at Early never feels dull, isolated or lonely.
