Account Executive

Simply put, we help brands to grow by creating exciting collaborations with complementary, non‑competing partners. Our objective is to get businesses to work together, to share and recycle their assets and help each other to achieve their respective goals. We work with a wide range of clients from some of the world’s biggest brands to some smaller, sometimes niche and quirky brands.

You should apply if...

• You have previous experience with brand partnerships and/or client/account management.
• You’re excited by brand partnerships.
• You have a creative mind.
• You’re highly organised and have strong attention to detail.
• You’re a self‑starter who can work well independently when required and has a good ability to prioritise and reprioritise as client demands chop and change.
• You’re a people person and have a natural ability to develop strong, professional relationships.
• You work well under pressure (when needed) and have a well‑developed approach to problem‑solving.
• You possess a pro‑active and enthusiastic can‑do attitude.
• You'd excel working in a small, sociable yet hardworking team.

This isn’t for you if...

• You’re not comfortable approaching brands cold that you’ve never spoken to before.
• You’d find it challenging to work on multiple projects at once – sometimes a team may be working on 5 projects at any given time and may need to do tasks on each of these in a single day.
