Client Partner

Reporting to two Senior Client Partners, the Client Partner will own the planning and execution/delivery of key tasks and workstreams across the New Ground portfolio, both as monthly retainer work and on a project basis. This is a step up from a support role (Account Manager level): you will be trusted to lead defined parts of an account from start to finish, under the guidance of the Senior Client Partners, and to be the day-to-day point of contact for the client on the work you own. You will work across a range of defined accounts, taking projects from ideation through to execution across content, social, influencer, PR, and partnerships. Working across two Senior Client Partners means you will need a natural ability to prioritize, manage your time efficiently, and keep communication clear and proactive in every direction. Your attention to detail will ensure that information shared internally and with clients is accurate and polished.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Manage your workload across two Senior Client Partners, prioritizing effectively, flagging capacity early, and keeping both aligned on progress.

• Support and guide the Junior Client Partner and interns on tasks within your workstreams.
• Stay ahead of social, content, culture, and industry trends, and bring relevant ideas to your accounts.
