Job Description
About SIM7
SIM7 is a specialist creative agency working with leading business schools and international organisations on brand strategy, branded content and campaigns. Our role is to help clients articulate themselves clearly and confidently, through work that requires judgement, creativity and high standards.
We pride ourselves on providing genuinely helpful client service, without unnecessary hierarchy or ego. Our clients span housing, education, retail and public bodies. Our studio is small, capable and collaborative, and we care about doing the job properly. We’re a small, experienced team where people are trusted to do their jobs well and supported to keep improving.
This role offers genuine responsibility. You won’t be hidden behind layers of management. You’ll work directly with clients, collaborate closely with senior colleagues and have real ownership of the work you run.
We’re not a high-volume agency. Our projects require thinking, coordination and attention to detail. If you enjoy organising complex work well and building trusted client relationships, you’ll fit in here.
We value clear thinking, reliability, high standards and calm professionalism.
The role
We’re looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our growing team in Bristol.
This is a newly created role, reflecting the structure and responsibility required across our client portfolio.
Around half your time will be focused on a flagship European client, delivering ongoing brand content and editorial work. The rest will be spent supporting a portfolio of agency clients across brand, content and digital projects.
This is a delivery-led, client-facing role. You’ll need to be organised, calm and in control – someone who sets clear briefs, keeps work moving and makes clients feel confident at every stage.
You’ll work closely with the Account Director and our creative, editorial and digital teams to ensure work is delivered to a consistently high standard.
What you’ll do
Own the client relationship

- Lead project kick-offs, clarifying objectives, scope, timelines and approvals.
- Communicate proactively and flag risks early.
- Contribute to strategic planning discussions with the Account Director.
- Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts.
Run projects properly
- Take full responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of your projects.
- Coordinate internal teams, suppliers and partners to keep work on track.
- Manage budgets, timelines and scope to deliver on time and within budget.
- Produce clear, confident status updates for clients and internal leads.
- Ensure feedback is structured, actionable and well managed internally.
- Quality-check deliverables before they go out the door.
- Create clear creative briefs that accurately captures the client requirements whilst encouraging our creatives to deliver the best response possible.
- Write scopes of work and manage change requests.
- Create and maintain production schedules and editorial calendars.
- Support performance reporting and communicate key learnings.
Keep control
- Maintain accurate project trackers, documentation and budgets.
- Log purchase orders, support invoicing and maintain visibility on spend and forecasts.
- Work comfortably within shared project systems.
- Forecast client workload and flag resourcing needs.
Be part of the studio
- Work closely with the Account Director and senior team.
- Provide support across other accounts as needed.
- Contribute to a calm, organised and collaborative working environment.

- Clear, confident communicator with both clients and creative teams.
- Editorially literate: you understand how content gets made and what ‘good’ looks like.
- Calm under pressure, pragmatic and solutions focused.
