We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Account Executive to join our dedicated global central team for Skechers, one of the world’s leading footwear and lifestyle brands.

In this role, you will report directly to the Account Manager and play a vital part in coordinating global media campaigns, ensuring multi-market consistency, and supporting the day-to-day operations of the account.

This is an exceptional role for an ambitious media professional early in their career who wants to gain hands-on experience managing a high-profile global consumer account in a fast-paced agency environment.

- Support the alignment between central brand campaigns and local Commerce/E-commerce activations by ensuring channel teams have the required briefing materials and product priorities.

Day-to-Day Coordination & Troubleshooting

- Serve as an operational point of contact for routine queries from international market teams and internal specialist teams.
- Coordinate central client status meetings, prepare agendas, take clear, action-oriented meeting notes, and maintain task logs.
- Maintain shared central project management tools (e.g., Teams) to keep deliverables, assets, and documentation organized and accessible globally.

Budget & Financial Management

- Assist in managing central campaign budgets, tracking global spend across markets, and updating financial tracking spreadsheets.
- Take ownership of operational financial processes: raising Purchase Orders (POs), tracking vendor invoicing, and ensuring swift billing resolution.
- Assist the Account Manager and finance teams with monthly budget reconciliations and financial checks across markets.

Performance, Reporting & Best Practice

- Help gather campaign performance data across markets and channels, ensuring accurate entry into central reporting dashboards and templates.
- Support the creation of post-campaign presentations, summarizing key performance learnings, brand metrics, and e-commerce outcomes for Skechers client stakeholders.
- Assist in building best-practice case studies and collating campaign examples from top-performing markets to share across the global Skechers network.

## Skills and Experience

- Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational and time-management skills.
- Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint (or Google Workspace equivalents).
- Clear communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to interact effectively with multi-market teams.
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a positive "can-do" attitude.
- Eagerness to learn how global consumer campaigns are planned, orchestrated, and measured behind the scenes.
- Ability to multitask and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, multi-market environment.

Nice to Have:
