About The Position

At NewGen, we’re a global social creative and creator agency made up of over 100 talented people worldwide, with offices in London (UK), Manchester (UK), and New York (USA). We partner with leading brands to shape culture, tell stories that matter, and harness the power of social-first creative and creators to drive meaningful impact.

Founded by our 30-under-30 co-founders, NewGen is an independent agency built to challenge big networks and outdated agency models. We move fast, live social, and believe fresh ideas are the only way to create work people actually care about.

Our work is trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands, including Pepsi, Samsung, Amazon, SEGA, and Cash App, and by leading creators shaping culture today — from KSI and Amelia Dimoldenberg to PewDiePie.
Our Non-Negotiables
Energy – Get involved, be heard, and contribute. This isn’t a place for coasting.
Quality – Everything we create should push boundaries and raise the bar.
Collaboration – No egos, no judgment — we win as a team.
Creativity – Fresh thinking and bold ideas keep us moving forward.
Partnership – Be a trusted, proactive partner to our clients at all times.
Life in the New York Office
Life at our New York office combines start-up energy with the backing of a global agency. Based in the heart of Flatiron, we’re a close-knit team building something special. We value curiosity, social fluency, and people who want to grow with us. We work in a hybrid way, with a minimum of three days a week in the office to keep collaboration and creativity at the core of what we do.

We’re looking for an ambitious Account Executive to support the delivery of best-in-class, social-first work for some of the world’s most exciting brands. This role is ideal for someone early in their account management career who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is highly organized, and is eager to learn and grow. You’ll support senior account team members across multiple projects, help keep work running smoothly from brief to delivery, and play a key role in maintaining strong client relationships. You’ll be hands-on, detail-oriented, and excited to be part of an agency that lives and breathes social culture.
Social-First x Brand Impact
Being socially native is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just “do social” — we live and breathe culture. Success in this role means understanding platforms, creators, trends, and conversations, and helping translate them into work that feels authentic, bold, and built for the feed.
It’s okay to be chronically online.
