This is a pivotal role within Techne, offering the opportunity to take ownership of high-profile client relationships, shape the quality and direction of our work, and build a delivery function designed to scale.
This is not a traditional account management role.
You will operate across multiple disciplines combining strategic oversight, team leadership and hands-on execution to ensure consistently exceptional output.
You'll manage the team, own the day-to-day, and be the person who keeps everything moving to a high standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Own senior client relationships across our European, UAE and US portfolio, acting as the main point of contact for strategy, performance and escalation

- Identify and drive growth opportunities within existing accounts and support new business where relevant
- Balance client ambition with operational feasibility ensuring what gets sold can be delivered
Delivery & Standards
- Take full ownership of delivery across all accounts, including the transition from new business into execution
- Oversee social media, content production, influencer campaigns, paid performance, and website and editorial content
- Define clear processes and pipelines to deliver each scope item to a high standard
- Challenge output and hold a high bar for creative and strategic quality across all functions
- Understand team strengths and gaps, and step in where needed to support or unblock delivery
- Be comfortable getting hands-on when required to demonstrate standards or solve execution challenges
Team Leadership
- Manage and develop the social, content, influencer and performance team across London and Dubai
- Set clear expectations and hold the team accountable for performance and delivery
- Provide regular visibility to the Founder & CEO on team performance, risks and priorities
- Build a culture of ownership, pace and accountability shifting the team from reactive execution to structured, proactive delivery
Operations & Problem Solving
- Continuously review workflows, resourcing and delivery structures
- Identify inefficiencies and implement practical, scalable solutions
- Expand and improve the agency's network of vendors, tools and capabilities
- Move the team from ad-hoc execution to structured, repeatable systems over time
Growth & New Business
- Support the CEO and the Client Growth Manager on new business pitches through strong strategic, creative and operational input
- Shape proposals, scopes and pricing aligned with both client ambition and delivery capability
- Contribute ideas to improve the agency's offering, positioning and commercial structure
