We’re looking for a talented Senior Account Executive to join our friendly London team.

Established in 1991, Verve is headquartered in Dublin with offices in London and Amsterdam, and as part of The Opus Group, we have partners throughout Europe and across the globe. We have a team of over 100 full time award winning professionals spanning creative, digital, events, activation, entertainment and sponsorship departments. We believe in building long term partnerships with our clients, many of whom have been with us for well over a decade.

The Role:
• Supporting Account Managers and Account Directors across a variety of projects
• Building strong relationships with clients, liaising with them on a day-to-day basis at middle to junior level, depending on the client’s management structure, being the main point of contact, taking briefs and ensuring management of expectations and offerings
• Budget management across individual projects and contributing to budgets for senior members of the team, ensuring budgets can be built autonomously and to a high standard
• Looking after the day-to-day administrative detail, including compilation and presentation of written documents and administration of the budgeting system
• Managing supplier relationships, ensuring that costs are being scrutinised and negotiated
• Having a clear understanding of what success looks like for our clients and creating and reviewing response/proposal accordingly
• Managing projects from conception through to completion

The Person:
• An accomplished Event enthusiast at a Senior Account Executive level with an exciting approach and good understanding of sport and the event business. You have strong events experience having already worked with an events agency for at least 1 year.
• You’ll be dynamic and have a flair for creativity, working well as part of a team and under pressure. Your attention to detail will be second to none and you’re always striving to meet, or even beat deadlines when taking client service to the next level.
• You act with a sense of urgency to get things done and show initiative, you contribute constructively and when you don’t know the answer you say so and then make it your business to find out.

You roll your sleeves up and get involved in everything you’re asked to do – be that for your clients, or for the agency more generally.
• You have an inquisitive mind – you’re curious about the industry, the agency and our clients.
