Account Manager: Global Retail & Sports

IMA is a global creative agency on a mission to build brands people want to be part of. We are looking for a dynamic, collaborative Account Manager to join our Global Retail team.

In this role, you won’t just manage accounts; you’ll be the engine behind integrated campaigns and retail rollouts for the world’s most iconic sports brands. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and are ready to take your expertise across the EU, we want to meet you.

• Global Impact: Lead work for Tier-1 sports and consumer brands on a global stage.
• Integrated Scope: From immersive retail activations to massive integrated campaigns, no two days are the same.
• EU Travel: Be on the ground where the action happens, visiting clients and overseeing projects across Europe.
• People-First Culture: Work within a values-led agency that prioritizes your growth and recognizes every win.

• A chance to develop your career within an award-winning, people-first creative agency.
• A values-led culture where your contribution is recognised and supported.
• Ownership and variety from day one, with the support of a collaborative team.
• The opportunity to lead projects across live campaigns, retail activations and brand experiences.
• A people-first environment where we challenge, grow, and deliver together.

As an Account Manager, you are the bridge between ambitious client goals and world-class creative execution. You’ll own the day-to-day delivery of work streams, ensuring every project is on brief, on budget, and ahead of schedule. You aren't just a coordinator; you are a proactive partner who builds trust and drives momentum.

• Act as the primary point of contact for key stakeholders, becoming an indispensable partner to their business.
• Brief creative and strategy teams with precision to ensure our output is as sharp as the brands we represent.
• Manage timelines and budgets across multiple work streams with total accuracy.
• Bring fresh market insights and sports-retail trends to the table to help shape future campaigns.

• Proven experience in a fast-paced creative agency or marketing environment.
• A genuine passion for sports and retail.
• Client management, budget tracking, and timeline control.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to support and motivate others to achieve their goals.
• Comfortable working with international teams and willing to travel frequently to the EU.
• A collaborative problem-solver who anticipates hurdles before they appear.
• Confidence using Google tools and project management platforms.

We’re curious. We challenge. We commit. These principles shape how we work — with each other, with clients, and with the world.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. If this Account Manager role sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you.
