Account Manager / Operations Manager - 4 Day Week - Hybrid Working

We’re a young, hungry, multi award winning creative studio based in Sheffield who are going from strength to strength, boasting 40% growth last year. Our work embodies our ethos; challenge convention, to change perception. In the role of Account Manager, you’ll become part of a nimble team that does a lot with a little, and who aim to challenge norms in the work that we do. We're growing a business that makes a positive difference to people's lives (L&L family, our clients and their customers), a business that creates change for good. We have a lovely studio in the city centre, where you can work alongside lots of inspiring businesses and use the co-working space (it’s also dog friendly!) with great coffee + food choices and easy access to buses, trams and the train station if needed.

This exciting role is to oversee and manage the day to day running of all of our client accounts and projects. Some of our previous clients include Who Gives A Crap, Urban Outfitters and Love Raw. You’ll be responsible for all client comms, budget management and scheduling, as well as coordinating the Lyon & Lyon team and our external partners.

This role will require you to be proactive and able to work independently, managing your own workload and time effectively. Lyon & Lyon are currently pushing for real growth in the business, therefore we need someone that performs well in a fast-paced environment.
