Job Opportunity: Senior Account Manager
This is an exciting opportunity to join Maximillion, Scotland’s longest established and best regarded Event Management agency.
About Maximillion
Established in 1989, Maximillion’s offices are located at Newbridge, ten miles west of Edinburgh city centre. Maximillion specialise in general event management and team building. Our events are delivered throughout the UK & beyond, for corporate, incentive and private clients. During its 34 years Maximillion has won over 20 industry awards. Over the past 2 years Maximillion has further developed the Conference & Production side of the business and as such we are looking for a Senior Account Manager to join the team and add value within this business area.
Job Description
As a Senior Account Manager, you will be responsible for managing existing client accounts and building up those of your own through new enquiries and business development opportunities. The Senior Account Manager’s role involves both sales and delivery, to include taking a client brief, creating a proposal & quote in response, refinement of these to meet the clients’ feedback and once confirmed managing the delivery process including on the day. The style of events that you sell and deliver will predominantly focus on Conferences however there will be a requirement to work across the Maximillion portfolio.
This role will see you spending time both in the office, working from home and out on events, therefore all applicants should be within a commutable distance from our Edinburgh office. As you would imagine our events do not always take place within Mon-Fri 9-5 window, therefore out of hour’s work will be required. As all team members do, you will have additional “support duties” such as product development & research and for any others we would look to match these to your skill set during the interview process.
