Location: Prague

Why Join Us

This is not just another Account Management role. It’s a great opportunity for someone coming from a strong agency background to move in-house, staying close to the creativity, pace and excitement of agency life, while getting closer to the brands and the client side of the business.

You’ll be at the forefront of shaping innovative social and digital campaigns for some of the world’s most iconic beer brands, across multiple markets. Alongside this, you’ll benefit from improved work-life balance, the ability to shape how work gets done, and clear opportunities for long-term career growth within a global organisation.

Functional Overview

To deliver more creative, efficient and cost-effective solutions, we are building an in-house agency (IHA) to support our Global Asahi brands and local market activities. As part of this journey, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Client Partner to support multiple markets and global brands.

You will work closely with creative, social and digital teams to deliver best-in-class marketing solutions. While our primary focus over the first two years is excellence in social and digital, the IHA has an ambitious four-year growth plan, expanding both its remit and capabilities. You will play a key role in shaping that future.

This role offers the best of both worlds: the energy, collaboration and creative ambition of an agency environment, combined with the focus, ownership and brand proximity that comes with being in-house.

As the Senior Client Partner, you will be the main point of contact between markets, brand teams and the in-house agency. You will oversee a team of account managers across multiple markets, ensuring end-to-end delivery of campaigns that are on time, on budget and delivered to a high creative standard.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment, take ownership of your work and enjoy developing people. You are passionate about consumers, building brands across multiple channels and influencing senior stakeholders. You have a proven track record of delivering against KPIs while continuously improving how teams work together.

Given the global nature of the role, you will be responsible for bringing people together across markets, building strong relationships and ensuring expectations are met at senior levels of the business.
