Account Manager

At Guy & Co, we’re all about giving our clients the confidence to challenge.
This comes from our creative & research system, which helps us validate bigger insights and bolder ideas for bravely effective results. These results are helping us grow our clients, scoop some pretty cool industry accolades, and continue our growth spurt. But our real secret sauce? Our Guys. We recruit diverse personalities, invite challenge, have each other’s backs, and invest in giving each of them the confidence to smash their potential.
We’re looking for an ambitious Account Manager to support our mix of financial and professional services clients. You’ll help us put the fun into funds and funerals, challenge categories like insurance and investments, and manage everything from tactical content to multi-channel campaigns.
What we're looking for:
Expertise & attitude:
• Someone who knows their onions about multi-channel marketing and has a track record of bringing bold insights and ideas to life, no matter the final output.
• A self-starter who isn’t afraid to get stuck in and create momentum, and can quickly pivot if the goalposts change.
• A stickler for process, able to juggle priorities and make sure projects are delivered on brief, on time and on budget.
• A team player who knows there’s no I’s in guys and sees the strength in collaboration. Someone who can draw on the right people and process – with production partners and roster agencies, as well as our own team. And who believes in leaning in and listening hard to help build strong relationships – especially with our clients.
• A confident communicator who can be hard on the work but not on the people – articulating and defending their point of view, and challenging others when needed.
Skills & experience:
• Minimum 2 years’ experience in an agency role with experience in financial or professional services.
...Although we're far more interested in the person than the CV - someone who doesn't follow a strict job description and is excited by what we're doing as a challenger agency. We’re not looking for the finished article, just the right skills and attitude. We'll help you grow and develop in areas you're passionate about.
How to apply:
Please send your CV and a cover note, explaining what would make you a fit with our Guys, to csummers@guyco.co.uk

What you can expect from us:
Salary from £28K, depending on experience.
We challenge ourselves to attract and grow great people, as well as great clients. So that means offering things like:
• Great professional development: generous training budgets to support your career pathway.
• Great holidays: with an extra day’s holiday for every year you’re with us, and half-day Fridays during the Edinburgh Festival (all in the name of creative research, of course).
• Great benefits: private healthcare and perks through Vitality.
• Great flexibility: a blended working culture that helps work, work around you.
• Great fun: of course we have an agency bar, but also a coffee shop, all in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. And visits from family, friends & dogs are positively encouraged.
