At Peregrine, our Account Managers are the lynchpins of account teams. They are the day-to-day leads on accounts, liaising with client contacts and taking charge of all activities. They are meticulous planners with an eye for detail and superb organizational skills. Our Account Managers need to have extensive media relations skills to help guide the junior team in making sure all deliverables are met on time and to exceptional standards. To deliver specialist marketing and communications strategies our team members need to be subject matter experts with experience in the investment management space and within that, the alternative investment industry.
At Peregrine we are a close-knit team and as such nobody is “boxed-in” to their role, there is a significant opportunity to be involved in a variety of projects and tasks. The core responsibilities of the Account Manager are listed below but these can be expanded or added to where appropriate.
