Firstly, a bit about us…

We are a highly respected event company specialising in quality, interactive activations and placemaking projects. We work throughout the UK and, unlike many event companies, Bakehouse Factory does it all under one roof! No two days are the same: arriving at work on any given day, you will be met with brilliant makers creating costumes, writing scripts, designing choreography, and turning creative designs into reality in a workshop full of skilled carpenters, welders, painters and scenic artists. The Bakehouse Factory family comprises a large but close-knit team of highly skilled creatives, and a national team of talented performers and event specialists who collectively bring our events to life.

Top Duties and Qualifications

The Account Executive is a pivotal member of the Client Services team, where clients are given the highest standard of service possible from Bakehouse, whether a new client working with us for the first time or those that we’ve known for years.

Supporting the team in the successful running of our client accounts, and developing positive relationship, particularly with our retail and corporate clients
Supporting the team with the preparation of new business proposals and presentations, writing copy, researching ideas, finding content and budgeting

Contribute to an environment of creative excellence and demonstrate an understanding of theatre and events and monitoring the marketplace
Supporting the team with the posting of marketing content and the development of marketing materials
Demonstrate a continual desire to learn and develop

Who will you report to?

As Account Executive, you will report directly to the Head of Client Services. Day to day you will work alongside other members of the Client Services Team, as well as collaborate with other departments. Bakehouse is a very collaborative team.
