Account Manager 
at Lokku in Tech City / Silicon Roundabout
Lokku is seeking an analytical, web-savvy and multi-lingual Account Manager to join our thriving commercial team. If you’d like a key role in an exciting and evolving internet company, and have enthusiasm and dedication in abundance, then please keep reading.
About Lokku:
Lokku is a thriving on-line search company that specialises in vertical search engines for classifieds. Founded in 2006, we launched our first brand, Nestoria, a vertical property search engine, later that year. Today the service is used by 4 million people a month, across 8 countries.
The Role:
We are now planning to consolidate our operations in established countries as well as broaden our reach in new and emerging countries, and our Account Manager role is critical to meeting our growth targets. While this person will become involved in the EMEA region as a whole, their prime responsibility will be to grow and take ownership of our current client portfolio in Germany and France, and to identify new channels in those target countries that we can expand into.
It is unlikely you will have a ‘typical’ month here! But if you did, it may require you to:
-Pull together and deliver a financial report for your region to the senior management of the company, along with a forecast for the next year
-Negotiate a tricky contract renewal for a key client
-Pitch Nestoria to a potential new big client
-Manage our interns. You decide whether you need support or not. If so, you will be managing their workflow, be it for a marketing campaign or a project shared with the product and engineering teams
-Plan an annual marketing campaign for your countries, offline or online (SEM, display advertising etc.). You will have to negotiate, make assumptions, build the forecast and come up with estimates and costs.
-R+D of our marketplace. Identify new partners and potential clients; learn more about the needs of our users
-Identify a mysterious problem on our internal metrics report; work with the Products and Engineering teams to resolve it
-Work with the team to decide how to build and change our products; and how to build and change our company. This role is not just about business. We welcome proactivity and forward thinking, and are looking for somebody that can contribute to the company in many ways
The Person:
We believe this is a great opportunity for someone who:
-is interested in the tech, internet and marketing industries
-is looking to make the transition from a major internet brand to a much more entrepreneurial environment
-has some commercial experience, and is now ready to move up and become more strategic in their outlook
-aims big, enjoys autonomy, can take strategic decisions and is not afraid of challenges
You may be a brand manager at a retail company wanting to move into a new industry, or a technical consultant in need of a new challenge, or a web analyst looking for more responsibility. We are relaxed about your background; we do ask though that you:
-have previously successfully managed and grown a client portfolio
-are really good with MS Excel and all sorts of analytics, reports, metrics and anything that is related to number crunching and business intelligence
-are confident working with financial information, and communicating it to senior members of the company
-have a good track record in sales. If this was marketing / internet related, so much the better…
-have experience of negotiating at mid- to top- level within organisations
-have gained experience within the online industry, and understand the fundamentals of SEO, SEM and how to grow the audience of a website
-are able to communicate fluently in English, German and French
-are excited by the diverse challenge of growing existing profitable markets, while also launching into new ones
How to Apply:
This is a wonderful opportunity to build a career in international account management within a friendly close-knit internet company that offers a successful and expanding service with millions of unique users throughout the world. If you can offer the skills outlined above, we absolutely want to hear from you. Please e-mail your CV, covering note and salary expectations to account-manager@lokku.com.
