Account Manager – Marketing & Web Development

ABOUT THE POSITION

We are currently looking for an Account Manager to join our exciting and fast-moving agency based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, but with hybrid working options. This is the perfect role for someone who enjoys building and maintaining strong relationships and who wants to really make a difference to our company and clients.

Working in our Client Services team, this role involves working on an array of projects, including digital marketing campaigns and software developments (such as websites and mobile apps) across our varied client base. The successful candidate will be the main point of contact for a selection of clients, being their champion at CDA, liaising with various internal teams and external suppliers to deliver – and exceed – on their objectives.

OUR DREAM CANDIDATE:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic individual who enjoys helping clients achieve their goals, representing CDA as their digital partner.

You may also be required to participate in pitches, representing the strategic delivery team, explaining our processes, and embodying our client-focused approach.
