KOJO seeks a full, time permanent Senior Account Manager for our Sport services in Adelaide.
About the role.
As part of our KOJO Sport team, we are seeking a Senior Account Manager to nurture existing client relationships, as well as drive growth both with existing clients and new business.
Working with the Head of Partnerships and Growth, you will play a key role in identifying profitable growth areas, prioritising target clients across our service areas to build relationships and win new work. You will develop strong relationships with key existing clients, to support the growth of these accounts and identify new opportunities to build profitable revenue.
KOJO’s services cover the entire fan journey: brand and strategy development, marketing, digital, social, sports presentation, game-day production, content production, broadcast, streaming, events, commercial and activation work. Our clients include significant tournaments, national sporting bodies, clubs and brands.
You will have a significant network and have the ability to continuously expand that network. You will actively promote KOJO working in conjunction with the internal marketing team, always searching for new and innovative ways to build awareness and organically educate the industry on our business.
At KOJO, how we do business is as important as the business we do. KOJO operates under a ‘one business’ approach focusing on collaboration between our services to offer a unified offering to clients. It will be an important part of the role to monitor how the business is working and actively remove barriers to this approach. The role will require you to contribute and lead internal team projects and tenders, working closely with other business areas, such as creative, strategy, content, digital, event, technical and motion teams.
This role involves non-traditional hours, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays. Flexible and transparent schedules are managed on a rolling basis, considering event timings and stadium requirements for rostered days off.
About you.

You'll thrive in a fast-paced agency setting, going the extra mile under tight deadlines.

People should love to work with you because you are caring, genuine and positive even in the toughest of situations, always representing KOJO’s values.
You’re interested in growing your own career, and the people around you, and (ideally) LOVE sport. Previous experience in Events and/or PR highly regarded, though not essential.
