Senior Automotive Account Manager – Marketing Agency

Are you currently working in an agency, OEM or large dealer group and know you’re capable of more? More growth, more money and more opportunities? Keep reading...
You thrive in the fast-paced world of automotive.
Stock changes. Offers change. Targets change. And everything is always urgent.
You’ve earned the respect of your clients because you’re not an order taker.
You’re a strategic advisor because you don’t simply take a brief and pass it on.
Instead, you are a natural leader who is respected by your clients.
With your commercial experience, you understand sales targets, you ask the right questions and develop a clear plan with the client to get the result.
But now, you’re ready for a change of scenery. A new leadership team, culture and a new challenge.
This is an opportunity to take the next leap in your career.
3 Phase Marketing is looking for an experienced Senior Automotive Account Manager to take ownership of a growing portfolio of automotive clients.
You’ll work directly with dealer principals, general managers and marketing managers across some of Australia’s leading automotive groups.
You’ll build trusted relationships, develop marketing strategies, lead monthly planning sessions and keep campaigns moving across Google, Meta, websites, creative, content and lead generation.
You’ll need to be commercially minded, highly organised and confident enough to challenge a client when you know there is a better way forward.
But you won’t be doing it alone.
You’ll be supported by an experienced team of digital specialists, designers, content creators and marketing assistants.
In fact, you’ll have your own dedicated assistant to submit your briefs, traffic the work and help keep everything moving.
Because we know you do your best work when you’re in the field, sipping lattes with your clients and working on their business strategy, not chasing up internal tasks all day.
You are the connection between the client’s business strategy and our team’s execution.

This role probably isn’t for you if:

At 3 Phase Marketing, our purpose is simple:
To give our clients more customers, sales and freedom.
We are growing quickly because we have built a strong reputation within the automotive industry.
Our greatest source of new business is referrals, and we are currently averaging 5 x new referrals every month.
