London
The Role We’re hiring a digitally focused Account Manager into one of the7stars’ client teams, working predominantly across a major retail brand within the home appliance space alongside other accounts across the patch. The role sits within a commercially reactive, performance-led environment where media decisions evolve quickly depending on trading conditions, sales performance and wider business priorities. It’s well suited to somebody who enjoys fast-moving accounts, likes solving problems and wants to build deeper capability within digital and performance-focused planning. You’ll play a central role in the day-to-day running of the accounts, helping coordinate activity across planning, activation, reporting and campaign delivery. The role involves close collaboration with clients, channel specialists and senior stakeholders internally, ensuring campaigns are well managed, strategically aligned and delivering against business objectives. The account mix is heavily digitally focused, with strong exposure across paid social, PPC, online video and broader performance channels, while still maintaining integrated planning across AV, audio and other offline media. The role would suit somebody who enjoys digital and performance channels but wants broader media planning exposure rather than sitting in a pure specialist activation role.
