You will join a positive, highly skilled team of specialists, and work collaboratively to provide creative solutions to support AUT's marketing and brand material. Working alongside the design team, you will be responsible for educating staff and suppliers on the AUT brand, and support in its ongoing management. You will report directly to the Brand Planner who leads the in-house account management team.

You will have:

• A strong interest in account management
• Top-notch people skills and some experience in relationship management
• Superior multitasking and organisational skills with the ability to perform under pressure and at speed
• Project coordination skills and a high level of attention to detail
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills

If this sounds like you, and you want to help us create highly effective brand-driven content in new ways, then come join us! Your fabulous people skills, proactivity, collaborative nature, and get-things-done approach will be keys to success.
