About you You already know the large-format print world. You understand that an Account Manager in this industry is doing far more than answering emails and keeping clients happy. You re taking a brief, working out what s actually possible, getting prices together, speaking with production and artwork, keeping an eye on deadlines and making sure the finished job is right. You ll be comfortable talking about large-format graphics, signage and different materials without having to learn the industry from scratch. Your experience You ll already be working within large-format print, signage, display graphics or a very closely related environment. You could currently be an Account Manager, Project Manager, Account Handler or perhaps an Estimator who has plenty of client contact. What matters is that you understand the journey from enquiry through to production and delivery or installation. You ll be used to putting quotes together, juggling multiple live jobs, speaking directly with clients and working closely with production teams to get things over the line. What you ll be doing You ll look after your own customers and projects, becoming their main point of contact from the initial enquiry onwards. There ll be quotes to prepare, briefs to understand, deadlines to manage and plenty of communication with the studio, production and installation teams. Some jobs will be straightforward. Others will need a bit more thought around materials, production methods or how something is actually going to be installed. You ll also get the chance to grow relationships with existing customers and spot opportunities for more work where it makes sense.

About you You already know the large-format print world. You understand that an Account Manager in this industry is doing far more than answering emails and keeping clients happy. You re taking a brief, working out what s actually possible, getting prices together, speaking with production and artwork, keeping an eye on deadlines and making sure the finished job is right. You ll be comfortable talking about large-format graphics, signage and different materials without having to learn the industry from scratch. Your experience You ll already be working within large-format print, signage, display graphics or a very closely related environment. You could currently be an Account Manager, Project Manager, Account Handler or perhaps an Estimator who has plenty of client contact. What matters is that you understand the journey from enquiry through to production and delivery or installation. You ll be used to putting quotes together, juggling multiple live jobs, speaking directly with clients and working closely with production teams to get things over the line. What you ll be doing You ll look after your own customers and projects, becoming their main point of contact from the initial enquiry onwards. There ll be quotes to prepare, briefs to understand, deadlines to manage and plenty of communication with the studio, production and installation teams. Some jobs will be straightforward. Others will need a bit more thought around materials, production methods or how something is actually going to be installed. You ll also get the chance to grow relationships with existing customers and spot opportunities for more work where it makes sense.
