Senior account MANAGER
Hybrid | The Alternative Studio
£35,000 - £40,000 + performance-based bonus
At The Alternative Studio, we fuse bold creativity with smart technology to make marketing pull its weight. We like sharp thinking, brave conversations and work that earns attention rather than politely asking for it.
We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager with experience across national B2B and B2C brands, a proper understanding of channel production and a strong digital skill set. Strategic, commercially switched on and amazing with clients. The kind of person who can run a meeting, read the subtext and still keep things moving. Someone who enjoys a bit of healthy tension in the pursuit of better work.
The Role
This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll own key client relationships across a mix of retained and project-based work, spanning brand, digital and campaign delivery.
We’ll trust you to:
Lead client relationships with confidence and a bit of edge
Turn business challenges into briefs that spark something
Drive projects forward and keep everyone honest
Spot commercial opportunities and go after them
Step into pitches and help win the room
Own revenue targets and forecast with clarity
Push the thinking further when you know there’s more in it
You’ll work closely with strategy, creative and tech teams, setting the pace, protecting the standard and making sure the work actually delivers. Yes, that includes the awkward conversations!
What “Great” Looks Like
Clients bring you into the tricky conversations
You bring calm when there’s a wobble
You’re comfortable talking to senior stakeholders without flinching
You stand up for the work
Growth feels natural because you’re always tuned in
You don’t wait for permission
You notice the details that shape the outcome
Experience & Skills

Confidence across brand, digital and integrated campaigns
Clear, persuasive communication, written and verbal
Commercial accountability, including revenue ownership and growth
Experience contributing to pitch processes
The ability to motivate teams and keep the energy up
Strong stakeholder management and good judgement
You understand how agencies move. You understand how great work gets made. And you’re the person people trust when it really matters.
How We Work
We’re hybrid, collaborative and ambitious. We value trust, transparency and straight talking. If something needs saying, we say it. If something needs fixing, we fix it.
Everyone here carries commercial responsibility. Targets aren’t scary. They’re fuel. We use smart tools and technology to stay sharp and efficient.
We back our clients properly. And we back each other. Fully.
