THE OPPORTUNITY:

This is a rare opportunity to join NZME’s award-winning Auckland Agency Sales team as a Senior Account Manager. You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of agency clients, build trusted relationships, and play a key role in delivering strong commercial outcomes. Working closely with your Group Account Director and the wider commercial team, you’ll help shape smart, integrated media solutions across NZME’s leading digital, radio and print brands. This role is ideal for an Account Manager ready to step into broader commercial ownership, or for an agency planner wanting to move into a client-facing sales environment.

HOW YOU’LL DO IT:

You’ll manage day-to-day relationships with agency clients, respond to briefs with compelling multi-platform proposals, and identify opportunities to grow revenue and strengthen partnerships. You’ll bring proactive ideas to the table, collaborate with internal specialists, and ensure campaigns are delivered to a high standard. Success in this role will come from balancing strong client service with commercial thinking, while staying across market trends and using your initiative to spot new opportunities for clients and NZME alike.

ABOUT YOU:

You’ll bring around 2–4 years’ experience in media sales, account management or agency planning, along with a genuine passion for building relationships and delivering results. You’ll be commercially minded, confident communicating with clients, and motivated by the chance to grow your career in a fast-paced media environment. You’ll also be organised, proactive and comfortable working across multiple briefs and priorities, with a collaborative approach and a willingness to learn from a high-performing team.

WHAT’S ON OFFER:
At NZME, we live and breathe our values of being Connected, Curious and Confident. We tell it like it is, challenge the status quo, back ourselves to try new things, and make work enjoyable along the way. You’ll join a collaborative and supportive team with a strong focus on development, career progression and celebrating success. Based in our City Central office, this is a chance to build your career with one of New Zealand’s leading media organisations while working alongside talented people who want to see you thrive.
