About the Role

As an Account Manager at Swanky, you'll play an important role in supporting the long-term success and growth of our retained ecommerce clients.

Working with a range of ambitious retail and ecommerce brands, you'll act as a key day-to-day partner to clients while helping coordinate activity across internal teams to ensure work remains organised, aligned, and moving forward effectively.

This is a collaborative, fast-paced role suited to someone who enjoys building strong relationships, thrives in a team environment, and is confident managing multiple priorities at once.

You'll work closely with developers, designers, strategists, and specialists across a variety of ongoing client initiatives, helping maintain clear communication, delivery visibility, and strong operational organisation across accounts.

We're looking for someone who is proactive, organised, commercially aware, and comfortable taking ownership of their accounts while knowing when to collaborate, challenge, or escalate appropriately.

Cultural fit is hugely important to us at Swanky.

We're looking for someone who is approachable, adaptable, solutions-focused, and genuinely enjoys working closely with both clients and colleagues.

The ideal candidate will bring a positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a willingness to learn and grow within a supportive, ambitious, and evolving agency environment.
