About Client Services at Greenpark

We are different to a lot of traditional network agencies.

We are independent and growing.

There is more of a commercial mindset needed in Client Services here than some agencies, but the role is still also focused on delivering great work and great relationships with clients.

Good Client Service and account management at Greenpark is still about being the drivers and lifeblood of how we run our client work and join the dots on workstreams to deliver the best work, that performs well, makes our clients happy and maintains and builds on strong commercial principles.

We aren’t perfect and we’ll make mistakes – but we’ll learn from them, work together and always find a way to drive things forward. In Client Service here we are:

• Hands up and hands in – offering support and diving in to fix things
• Radiators not drains - we bring energy and clarity, not noise and confusion
• Action and solution orientated
• Drivers not passengers
• Meticulous checkers and on the detail
• Sponges of information
• Over deliverers (balancing that with under-selling in appropriate measures)
• Open to give our point of view and opinion
• Kind, not nice: we give constructive feedback to improve others, and take the same constructive feedback to improve ourselves and the environment we work in
• Thick skinned and warm hearted
• A team

About the role

This role description outlines the core responsibilities of a Senior Account Manager (SAM) at Greenpark.

However, a job description should not be viewed as a fixed set of boundaries.

In a business like ours, we encourage proactive thinking, collaboration, and contribution beyond defined responsibilities.

• Client Relationships
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with assigned client contacts, ensuring regular contact beyond formal meetings and taking a genuine interest in clients as individuals.

• Contribute to strategic discussions by identifying what's performing well and where budget should be allocated, highlighting underperforming areas and recommending controllable improvements, supported by data, analytical insights, and market trends.
• Identify when performance is affected by client-side issues and work with clients to adjust targets accordingly, helping them understand the impact.
• Progress from supporting the CS Lead and Strategy team in executing strategy to contributing to its development, building your understanding of how individual strategies align with the client's wider business objectives.
• Adapt your analytical and strategic approach to meet both client needs and internal team dynamics, driving the best outcomes for clients and Greenpark.
• Forecasting & KPIs
• Develop your understanding of how success is defined and measured across your accounts, working closely with your CS Lead and relevant department specialists.
• Contribute to the creation of clear KPIs from client objectives, ensuring they are reflected in briefs, reporting, and campaign reviews by asking the right questions and building confidence in forecasting and performance tracking.
• Interpret KPIs to understand what good performance looks like, identify underperformance, and recognise when action or escalation is required.
• Look beyond the numbers to understand the wider business context and communicate insights in a way that drives action.
• Build confidence in forecasting and KPI discussions, positioning yourself to take a more active role in performance planning over time.
