My client is a growing independent brand experience agency expanding its Irish operation following a significant new client win. The agency works across experiential marketing, live activations, cultural campaigns and consumer engagement, with a particular strength in nightlife, leisure, hospitality and age-restricted categories.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Account Manager who enjoys fast-moving, hands-on experiential work and wants to join a business at an early stage of its Irish growth. You will have real visibility across campaigns, from planning and client liaison through to field delivery, logistics, reporting and post-campaign review.

This is not a purely desk-based account management role. It will suit someone who enjoys being close to the action, is comfortable working with field teams, and can manage multiple moving parts without losing sight of the client relationship or campaign objectives.

The role will focus on the rollout of experiential activity for a major international client in the adult nicotine alternatives category. Because of the nature of the sector, candidates should be comfortable working on campaigns aimed strictly at adult audiences.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

  • Managing experiential and brand activation projects across Ireland.
  • Coordinating campaign delivery across Dublin, Cork and other regional locations.
  • Managing and supporting a national team of field-based brand ambassadors and activation staff.
  • Translating client briefs into clear operational plans, timelines and delivery schedules.
  • Liaising with client stakeholders and ensuring activity is delivered to the expected standard.
  • Overseeing staffing, logistics, stock, event kit, branded assets and activation materials.
  • Supporting activations in nightlife, leisure, on-trade and social environments.
  • Managing multiple campaigns and seasonal activity at the same time.
  • Preparing campaign updates, reports and performance summaries.
  • Working closely with colleagues in Ireland and the UK to ensure smooth delivery.
  • Supporting launches, rebrands, sampling activity and wider brand experience campaigns.
  • Troubleshooting issues on the ground and ensuring activations run professionally.
  • Contributing to the growth and culture of a new Irish agency team.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have:

  • 2–4 years’ relevant experience in experiential marketing, events, activations, account management or project coordination.
  • A strong interest in live events, nightlife, culture, brands and consumer behaviour.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage several moving parts at once.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with clients, suppliers and field teams.
  • Experience coordinating events, activations, promotional teams or brand ambassadors.
  • A practical, hands-on approach and a willingness to get involved in delivery.
  • Good commercial judgement and the ability to represent the agency professionally.
  • A strong understanding of Irish culture, social habits and consumer nuances.
  • The ability to work in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial agency environment.
  • Comfort working on campaigns connected to adult-only, age-restricted consumer categories.
  • Flexibility to attend activations and occasional events outside standard office hours.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally within Ireland and, from time to time, to the UK.

This role may suit someone coming from:

  • Experiential marketing agencies.
  • Events agencies.
  • Brand activation teams.
  • Youth, culture or lifestyle marketing agencies.
  • Promotional staffing or field marketing environments.
  • Integrated creative agencies with a strong live activation element.

Excellent Salary.

Benefits include:

  • 10% annual on-target bonus.
  • Pension contributions.
  • Life insurance.
  • Free eye tests.
  • 28 days’ annual leave, plus recognised local bank holidays.
  • Christmas office closure.
  • Professional development support.
  • Performance management and career development pathways.
  • Work and wellbeing initiatives.
  • Mental health support.
  • Life event gifts.
  • Flexible hybrid working.
  • Collaborative Dublin city-centre office environment.

The agency offers a flexible hybrid working model, with the office used mainly for planning, launches, collaboration and team sessions. The culture is mobile, practical and delivery-focused rather than rigidly office-based.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more ownership than they might get in a large network agency. The Irish operation is at an early stage, so the successful candidate will have the chance to help shape how the account is run, how activations are delivered and how the local team develops.

Why Apply?

This role offers:

  • The chance to join a fast-growing agency at launch stage in Ireland.
  • A major client account already secured.
  • High visibility across the business.
  • Real ownership of experiential campaign delivery.
  • A lively, social and culture-led working environment.
  • Exposure to Irish and UK agency teams.
  • A flexible, entrepreneurial structure.
  • The opportunity to play a key part in building the agency’s Irish presence.
