Account Manager

Is this role for you?

Paramount is comprised of many of the world's most iconic consumer brands. Its portfolio includes Network 10, Channel 5, Telefe, Paramount International Studios, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, Paramount Network and Pluto TV among others. In addition to offering innovative streaming services and digital video products, Paramount provides powerful capabilities in production, distribution and advertising solutions for partners on five continents and across more than 180 countries.

Reporting to the International Account Director, the International Account Manager will be part of the International Sales team whose role is to achieve and exceed the sales targets and generate revenue for the business across Paramount's social, streaming, digital and OTT platforms.

Our YouTube, Facebook, X, Snap and TikTok Channels are managed and sold centrally. In addition to standard format advertising campaigns, we work with clients and agencies to create branded partnerships, leveraging our IP and social talent that are activated and amplified across all social platforms.

Based in London, you will work closely with the Sales and partnerships teams across the following areas:

• Account Management working with the Sales Planning and Digital Ad Operations teams to assist in the day-to-day running of accounts. This may include dealing with client requests for information, creating/managing/monitoring media plans, assisting in the creation of sales proposals and post-campaign analysis documents.
• Maintaining Agency Relationships working alongside the rest of the team, maintaining relationships with agency groups, communicating new products and opportunities to ensure Paramount remains front of mind at all client briefings.
• New Business - creativity, proactivity and enthusiasm are the core components of this role and we actively encourage building on our existing client base with new business. Agency, client or broadcast sales experience and contacts are welcome.
  
  

This is a hybrid role that involves 2 days a week working from home and 3 days from the office in Camden. We believe successes and rewards are made as a team and the Account Manager will work collaboratively with the broader International Partnerships team to ensure we achieve those successes.

We encourage our teams to express their creativity, opinions and working practice to help us become more efficient and continue to exceed expectations. We do not expect you to be an expert across all disciplines of this role and will provide training, development and support for those eager and ambitious individuals with a willingness to learn. That said, individuals who have experience within programmatic, TV and advertising sales on social platforms would be preferable.

What will you be doing?

• Assisting the senior management on the day-to-day management and servicing of client activity across the portfolio on an international level.
• Work with the wider team to create media plans, develop sales proposals and collate insight data for pre/post campaign analysis.
