Account Executive in Science Marketing (6 months contract)

Want to see how a scientific and creative agency works from the inside? We're offering a six-month fixed-term role for someone who wants to find out, supporting the delivery of marketing for clients in pharma, life sciences, and speciality chemicals. At Notch, we bring science and creativity together. From our home in central Manchester's Bond building, a Grade II listed space redesigned for collaboration, we provide B2B brand and marketing services to our clients across the US, EU and UK. Our teams of strategists, writers, creatives and account handlers work side by side to deliver work that makes a big impact for our clients in scientific industries and inspires audiences. You'll be based in the account management team. That's where the day-to-day work sits, and where we need the help. The role also gives you visibility of how content, creative, digital, and strategy work flows through the agency, and if one of those pulls you in and there's room for you to get involved, we'll listen.

As an Account Executive, you will:

• Support the day-to-day delivery of client work: drafting communications, preparing materials, coordinating logistics, and turning meeting notes into clear actions and follow-ups
• Help keep projects on track by maintaining trackers, chasing actions, and getting to grips with the project management tools we use
• Get curious about our clients. Their businesses, their products, the science behind what they do. The more you understand, the more useful you'll be
• See how the other disciplines work and get stuck in where there's something genuinely available

From an Account Executive we expect:

• Genuine interest in science, marketing, or both. A science degree isn't required, but you should find the world of science and innovation worth understanding
• Clear writing and a careful eye. Our clients are experts and our work needs to read like it
• Organisation. You manage your work, hit deadlines, and raise problems before they become urgent
• A proactive mindset: asks good questions, acts on feedback, looks for ways to contribute
• Some prior work experience (placement, internship, junior role) is an advantage but not a requirement

What we offer

• A six-month fixed-term contract, with the option to extend, designed to give you a real look at agency life. You'll be supported by people who want you to learn, and you'll come away knowing how an agency actually works and where you might want to take your career next.
• Hybrid working — based in our central Manchester office with flexibility to work from home
• Professional development through internal and external training
• Free on-site gym
