Account Manager

At DDB Athens, one of the market’s leading advertising groups with 68 years of presence, we’re looking for a nice and talented Account Manager (1–4 years’ experience) to join our team.

This role is for someone who loves the craft of account management: building strong day-to-day relationships with clients, keeping teams aligned, and making sure great work gets delivered smoothly. You’ll support the daily management of a portfolio of accounts, acting as a key liaison between the client and our internal teams, helping with campaign planning and execution, and ensuring every deliverable is met on time, within scope, and at the level of quality our clients expect.

Who you are

• You build and maintain strong client relationships through clear communication, consistency, and care.
• You can manage campaign execution and you’re proud when things land on time, on budget, and on brief.
• You’re great at coordinating multiple internal teams and keeping everyone moving in the same direction.
• You’re proactive: you spot issues early, propose solutions, and handle requests efficiently.
• You can keep strategic alignment across campaigns while balancing multiple projects simultaneously.

What your day-to-day looks like

• Ongoing management and coordination of projects across the account.
• Understanding the client’s business needs and ensuring alignment with proposed solutions.
• Facilitating communication among all involved teams (creative, production, planning, media, traffic).
• Providing regular updates on progress, deadlines, and checkpoints—internally and to the client.
• Creating progress reports for projects and deliverables.
• Monitoring deadlines and making sure work stays on timeline.
• Overseeing the quality and consistency of deliverables across channels and formats.
• Preparing timelines and basic cost estimates in collaboration with the Account team.
• Daily collaboration with creative, production, and traffic teams to keep workflow smooth.
• Monitoring workflow and flagging risks, delays, or dependencies early—before they become problems.
• Maintaining files, meeting minutes, and task orders.
• Collecting and summarizing briefs, and creating job orders that set teams up for success.

As an Account Manager, we expect you to have:

• Bachelor’s degree (Master’s in Marketing/Communication or related field is a plus)
• 1–4 years in a similar role (advertising / client services)
• Excellent command of Greek and English
• Strong understanding of basic digital concepts + fundamentals of design and production
• Modern tool fluency: Microsoft 365 and familiarity with basic AI tools
• Problem-solving skills, a client-focused mindset, and the ability to work under pressure
• Initiative, eagerness to learn, and true team spirit
• Strong attention to detail and confidence in presentations

“Nice and talented” (what that means to us)

Nice means: you bring a positive, “can-do” attitude; you care about the work, your team, and the company; and you have the energy and empathy to help others do their best work too.

Talented means: you raise the bar through the quality of your thinking and outcomes. Impact isn’t about volume—it’s about delivering work that truly moves your client’s business and strengthens DDB.

As our founder Bill Bernbach said: “Life is too short to sacrifice so much of it, to living with a bastard.”
