Here at the Guardian, we believe the open exchange of information, ideas and opinions has the power to change the world for the better.

Our independent journalism holds power to account across the globe and brings information that's suppressed into the public domain.

We are at a fascinating juncture in our history. Our audience has never been larger; our journalism never more successful; our brand never stronger.

Yet the economics of the news business are incredibly volatile with large digital platforms eroding the ad market for quality publishing.

As we re-orientate to focus on reader revenues in this period of unprecedented change, the relationships we build with key partners will be core to our success.

That is where you come in.

Guardian Labs is recruiting for an Account Manager to manage branded content solutions across print, online, mobile and emerging platforms.

In this role, you will represent Guardian Labs both internally and externally to agencies, so you will need to be a natural collaborator and communicator.

You will be responding to client's needs in a creative and relevant manner and innovating the way we present our work to clients. You will be able to bring people together and navigate difficult situations under pressure, managing expectations at all times.

To be considered for this role, we're looking for you to have experience in an agency facing role. You will be used to working under pressure, in a fast paced environment.

You'll be a polished communicator, both verbally and in writing, and present yourself credibly to senior stakeholders.

You'll also be a brilliant organiser with the ability to manage a high workload - quickly, efficiently and to a consistently high standard.

And, of course, you'll have a genuine desire to contribute to the Guardian's future success, and share in our goals and values.
