We are looking for an experienced agency Account Manager to lead and grow existing client relationships, whilst overseeing a team of account execs tasked with supporting day to day client requests. This is a pivotal role within the agency.

The Company

Away from work all Quban’s enjoy a company funded healthcare cash plan, pension scheme and up to 30 paid holiday days per year. Everyone is encouraged to reach their potential and a number of our senior staff have risen through the company by taking advantage of Quba funded training and development opportunities.
