We call it ‘people-based’ marketing, and with over 25 years’ experience, we are proud to be recognised as a Global leader.

Merkle’s heritage in data, technology and analytics is the foundation for our understanding of consumer insights that drives our people-based marketing strategies.

Job Description

We have immediate availability for an Account Manager to join our busy team ASAP working on a major automotive client. Reporting into a Senior Account Manager, you will be a key player in our team and will be the main go-to person for the client, other agencies and internally within Merkle. This is an important role within the team with a considerable degree of autonomy and proactivity, which requires a proven track record of being a self-starter and the ability to make informed decisions.

Essential to the role will be experience from either a CRM or Data agency or from client side, or client-side experience, with a thorough knowledge of databases and data driven marketing, campaign delivery and managing end to end CRM programs.

Life as an Account Manager at Merkle

As an Account Manager at Merkle, your day to day role and key responsibility will be to ensure operational success for our clients.

You will be the first point of contact for all client requests and will have strong relationships with both Key Client Stakeholders and other agency teams to ensure that campaign timings and processes are clear and adhered to. This will require you to publish regular status updates, lead/attend status meetings, and represent Merkle at cross-agency briefing sessions.

We are a close-knit team, and work collaboratively to deliver database developments, customer analysis and marketing campaigns in line with the Client objectives. The Account Manager role is vital in ensuring that all deliveries are successful and that the results and measurements are proactively shared. As a team, we’re always looking at how we can improve and enhance the CRM programmes, so your role will include supporting the SAM in both identifying and implementing these improvements and efficiencies.
