ACCOUNT MANAGER / ACCOUNT DIRECTOR – BRAND ACTIVATION \& EVENTS

Special Bar Service\| Brand Activation Specialists\| Worcestershire \| Full\-time

Competitive salary reflecting your experience and potential \+ performance\-related bonus \+ extensive benefits

WE'RE DIFFERENT TO OTHER AGENCIES

sbs has achieved exceptional, long\-term, compound annual growth for nearly 20 years.

We've achieved this by successfully delivering thousands of activations every year for world\-class drinks and FMCG brands.

sbs is different to other agencies. We don't hand off elements of the activation process like design, build, production, logistics and activation to subcontractors.

We take ownership of every stage of the end\-to\-end event activation process, supported by our proprietary digital operating system, customer portals and a team of dedicated sbs Brand Activation Specialists.

sbs are also co\-owners of a successful Events, Festival \& Retail business so we can execute our Brand Partner's objectives directly to their consumers.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

We're proud of what we've achieved over nearly 20 years.

We're much more excited about what comes next.

We're looking for people with ideas, energy, commercial instinct, customer obsession, character and the ambition to make a difference.

  • You will instinctively care deeply, operate at a very high standard, and love being empowered to think like an owner.

  • You prepare obsessively so execution looks effortless.

  • You communicate quickly and clearly.

  • You anticipate and take ownership rather than wait to be told. When something goes wrong, you keep calm, own it and solve it.

  • You review everything you do and learn and improve what you do next time.

  • You'll love the pace. Brand Activation and live events aren't a slow\-moving environment. The deadline doesn't move because we're not ready.

  • You manage multiple projects simultaneously often against immovable deadlines.

  • Priorities can change quickly. Problems need solving. Decisions need making.

  • Attention to details are essential.
For the right person, that's what makes it exciting.

It has often been said that everyday is different at sbs.

If you've thrived in a fast\-paced hospitality operation, live events environment, high\-performance sales team, experiential agency or other time\-critical operation, we'd particularly like to hear from you.

You might be an experienced Account Executive ready to step up, Account Manager, Account Director, Project Manager or Commercial Events professional.

Whatever your experience, you do need to be comfortable thinking on your feet, prioritising, communicating clearly, staying calm under pressure and taking ownership when the clock is ticking.

HOW WE OPERATE

We believe high performance isn't about creating unnecessary pressure.

It's about great preparation, training, clear communication, teamwork, expertise and high standards so that when the pressure comes, we're ready.

That's why we have built a digital, end\-to\-end business operating system we call sBOS.

It is our guide rails. It is non negotiable but improves and evolves everyday to ensure we deliver:

ON BRIEF. ON BUDGET. ON TIME. EVERY TIME.

THE JOB

This isn't about taking a brief and passing it on.

It's not about turning up for work and waiting for an e mail or the phone to ring or waiting to be told what to do.

You'll take responsibility and ownership of thw following:

Brand Partnership \- understand their business, brands, market, industry and consumers, build trusted relationships and identify and proactively deliver opportunities.

Projects \- lead complex activations from concept and design through build, delivery, activation and consumer experience. Finally review, learn and improve.

P\&L \- you'll know your numbers, own revenue, quotations, budgets, margin, scope, POs, invoicing and forecasting.

Growth \- spot opportunities, create value and grow long term Brand Partnerships and trust.

Data insight \- use our customer portals, technology, data, insight and AI to make better decisions, improve performance and achieve customer objectives.

The Outcome \- bring the right team of Brand Activation Specialists together to ensure we deliver what we promised on brief, on budget and on time every time.

You'll see ideas become real, work with world\-class brands and experience consumers interacting with something you helped create.

sbs \- CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE

A culture of excellence isn't built by a few exceptional people.

It's built when excellence becomes the standard for everyone in the team.
