ABOUT HAVAS Red
We are HAVAS global, earned-first agency that puts cultural clout, creative magic and strategic insight at the heart of everything we do.
We help brands become part of consumer conversation by thinking big, different and bold, with attention-grabbing creative driven by strategic cultural insight that is authentic, engaging, entertaining, informative and provocative.
As a global network with over 30 offices worldwide, we pride ourselves on our borderless thinking that transcends market, channel and discipline. From content to social to experiential to influence to editorial, our work delivers on every level.
The pride we have in our work goes hand in hand with a culture that’s passionate, vibrant and bloody good fun. We believe that people are our most vital asset because they are different. Different to one another and different to the norm. Diverse perspectives fuel our curiosity and fresh thinking. In the era of artificial thinking, it’s our belief that intelligent people power original creativity and solve the most important challenges for our clients.
THE ROLE
We're looking for an ambitious, hands-on Account Manager to join our growing Brisbane team, initially reporting directly to the Executive Director.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced agency environment and wants to build a career across integrated communications. You'll work across a diverse portfolio of clients spanning charities and not-for-profits, corporate organisations, consumer brands and purpose-led businesses, delivering campaigns that make a genuine impact.
You'll be trusted to manage day-to-day client relationships, drive projects from briefing through to delivery, and contribute strategically and creatively to campaigns. While you'll have the support and mentorship of senior leaders, you'll also be empowered to take ownership, think independently and become a trusted advisor to your clients.
No two days are the same. One day you could be launching a national campaign, managing media opportunities, coordinating influencers or producing content. The next, you could be presenting campaign ideas, supporting a new business pitch or delivering an event.
We're looking for someone with energy, curiosity and initiative, someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves, wear multiple hats and help us continue building one of Brisbane's leading communications agencies.
We encourage people from diverse backgrounds, identities, beliefs, ages and abilities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, to apply.
