Account Manager

Job Description
What’s this all about?
Make the Break is a specialist B2B Business Development and Marketing agency in the
renewable energy niche.
All of our clients are technical businesses (either software or consultancy) in and around
the design, development, construction, and operation of renewable power.
We are proud to say we are not a full-service agency. Our focus is on helping our clients
with the marketing and BD strategy and how, together, we can best execute those plans
to help them achieve their goals.
Make the Break is becoming a known brand in the energy supply chain. Since early
#####, we have been supporting clients on the journey to professionalise their
go-to-market. We have defined who we are and how we help. We’ve built a reputation,
and now is the time to bring in more resources to help us grow further.
And it almost goes without saying we welcome people who have a shared passion to
have a role in helping solve the energy crisis. The planet is getting warmer, and
collectively, we need to bring innovation to help change the future of the next
generation.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our small but growing team.
The role will entail working across our portfolio of renewable energy clients and is the
ideal chance to get involved with client campaigns and work in an agency while it is still
in its early days, helping shape our own growth. We would expect this person to lead a
small number of existing retained accounts and assist with in-house brand marketing.
This is an Account Manager role with a focus on quality over quantity. We are our
client's outsourced marketing department, and it is our responsibility to help them
deliver on their business objectives. We would bring you in to support commercial
pitches. After all, you are going to be the face of Make the Break with these clients.
About you
The ideal candidate would have at least three years of B2B agency marketing
experience. We envisage you as someone who would be comfortable taking on the lead
role on client accounts and being a credible liaison between clients, team, and freelance
resources.
Because of the nature of our work, covering both BD and marketing strategies, we are
also interested in hearing from people who have moved from new business into
account management roles. Understanding B2B new business processes would be an
asset in advising our clients.
Our agency is a little over four years old. We have developed workflows and processes
across G Suite, Slack, Monday.com, Canva, etc. We are particularly keen to bring
someone in with agency process knowledge who can whip our set-up into shape. We
know how important that is going to be over the next couple of years of growth.
Full time, part-time, office, hybrid or remote?
We’re a flexible employer, and we encourage discussion. This could be a full-time or
near full-time role, and core hours can be agreed around real-life commitments. The
current team is based near Bristol. We have an account with Desklodge, so if you’d like
co-working in town, that is available. Equally, if you prefer to work more at home, that
works, too. We value a little bit of regular face-to-face time, and we hope you do, too.
