Account manager - intermediate
As an account manager you have the first contact with the client. In addition to maintaining existing relationships, there are also new contacts that you can develop yourself and with whom a relationship can be built. From prospect to client… to Partner for Live.
By being genuinely interested in the company, its target group and the question, the right translation can be made to your colleagues. Together with our concept developers, an event concept is created and presented by you. The realization of the event is in the hands of the project managers. Naturally, it is up to you to maintain the account, develop the relationship and monitor the process. We as Partners for Live are involved and can rely on each other.
On the one hand, a medior account manager supports the management of our existing clients. You will supervise projects that arise from this, in collaboration with the project manager(s). In addition, we expect you to see commercial opportunities and to take initiative to create your own opportunities. By developing new relationships and, for example, giving agency presentations to these prospects. You can then independently develop these new clients into the long-term relationships we strive for.
