What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an Account Manager with a silver tongue and a charming, talkative personality that can win clients over with both confidence and authenticity, for our marketing agency under Italian Delicacies, our holding company. Someone who can negotiate our services, nurture client relationships, and keep projects moving without losing the human touch.

- Pitching services and negotiating terms to secure ongoing and new projects
- Preparing clear project briefs for creative, design, and digital teams
- Reviewing work internally before presenting to clients, ensuring it meets their expectations
- Managing project timelines, feedback loops, and deadlines for smooth delivery
- Tracking budgets and reporting on project progress to both clients and management
- Spotting opportunities to upsell or expand services while maintaining trust
- Maintaining detailed records of communication, approvals, and project files
- Building relationships that feel like partnerships, not just transactions
What You Should Bring:
- 2-3 years of experience in account management or client-facing roles in marketing or creative agencies is preferred
- A charismatic, engaging personality — you’re naturally talkative and persuasive
- Strong negotiation skills and confidence presenting services and ideas
- Clear communication and organizational skills to juggle multiple accounts
- Ability to stay composed under pressure and keep projects on track
- A client-first mindset with the judgment to protect the team’s time and capacity
- Fluency in English and Kurdish/Arabic is required
