Account Coordinator - Edmonton, Canada - Berlin Communications

Description

Our goal is to create space for great people to do great work and we are looking for a full-time Account Coordinator to join our growing team.

This position is in-person in our Downtown Edmonton office.

We have four core values that we bring to our work and all our projects:

• Humanity
• We acknowledge and respect the humanity in ourselves and others.

• Curiosity

• We are curious about the world around us and the culture we live in.

• Intent

• We don't do things by accident.

• Grit

• We find a way to make it happen.

As an agency, we consistently punch above our weight. Our small and tight-knit team is made up of best-in-class folks.

You'll have the opportunity to work alongside our public relations leaders, our creative director, our strategists, and the rest of the team daily.

We operate as a unit on projects, meaning you'll be part of that top-performing, supportive and integrated group - there's no real creative/accounts divide here, and the partners at Berlin work alongside the rest of the team as we solve complex, interesting, and meaningful challenges.

You're not going to be stuck doing simple, boring bits as you learn the ropes - here, you will be right in the fun, challenging work with us, from day one.

In this posting, we've outlined the skills and qualifications that we find best prepare people for this kind of role.

Most of all, though, we want someone who is a skilled writer and strong communicator with strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality and exceeding expectations.

If you lack any of the specific qualifications we list in the posting, but think that you have the right qualities, please feel free to make a case for yourself.

Some of our strongest account people have come from sociology, journalism, politics, or design backgrounds - but they embody our values, write well, and are fully committed to our clients and projects.

• Identifying issues and possible solutions bringing those issues and solutions to manager and/or partners
• Project budget tracking and forecasting
• Prepare and send weekly reports to each of your clients every Monday
• Provide administrative support and project management support for client and internal projects

Behavioural competencies:

• Confidence and comfort dealing with clients
• Attention to detail
• A "desire to please" not acting as a "yes" person but seeking out ways to build clients' trust in Berlin by being attuned to what matters to them
• Alignment with our core values

Qualifications and experience:

• Very strong writing skills
• A degree in marketing or English studies is considered an asset, but is not required
• Basic understanding of project management and planning
• Strong knowledge of Office software
• Excel, Word, PPT etc.
• One to three years of relevant experience

The salary range for an account coordinator is $50,000 to $60,000.
