This is the perfect next step for an ambitious account executive who wants more responsibility – managing projects, growing client relationships, and delivering content, social, brand and earned creative campaigns that cut through.

And here's the big news: Keep Left recently joined Hardie Grant Media, one of Australia's leading independent marketing networks. If you're driven to grow, love creating standout work, and want to learn from some of the best in the business, this is the role for you.

A day in the life of this role.

As a Senior Account Executive, you'll be the organisational backbone of your accounts. You'll manage timelines, briefs, and approvals, ensuring projects run seamlessly while adding value with foundational knowledge of content and creative and understanding of creative workflows.

You'll support Account Managers and senior leaders, while starting to own client relationships and smaller projects end-to-end.

Requirements of the role include:

• Act as a trusted day-to-day contact for clients, holding yourself with confidence and professionalism.

• Bring digital, social, or experiential knowledge to the table to strengthen ideas and execution.
• Contribute to campaign reporting and evaluation with accurate documentation and insights.
• Think on your feet, problem-solve, and keep things moving when challenges arise.
• Take on greater responsibility for smaller projects while supporting seniors on bigger campaigns.

You'll bring:

• 2 years' agency experience in a similar, high-calibre agency environment.
• Proven organisational and project management skills.
• A solid understanding of the creative process and workflow.
• Experience working with creatives and the ability to write strong briefs.
• Interest in the earned/owned space (not pure-play advertising).
• Confidence in front of clients, with the ability to make a strong impression.
• A positive attitude, collaborative approach, and willingness to go the extra mile.
