About Showpony

At Showpony, they believe in creative work that makes a real impact. Based on Pulteney Street in the heart of Adelaide, their team thrives on collaboration, strategic thinking, and delivering outstanding results for a diverse client roster.

They’re looking for a switched-on, agency-savvy Account Service / Project Support professional to jump straight in and support their team over a 4-to-5-month contract starting immediately.

The Role

This is a versatile, hands-on contract role working alongside their experienced Account Service team. You will assist with day-to-day project management, ensuring workflows run smoothly and jobs stay on track.

From setting up jobs to drafting timelines and estimates, you’ll be a vital engine room support. Depending on workload and account developments, you’ll also get the opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of select projects, manage direct client communications, and potentially lead a new account.

You can expect to work across accounts in Government, FMCG, Finance and Real Estate/Development.

Key Responsibilities:

- Support the Account Service team with day-to-day project management and client service tasks.
- Set up new jobs, write clear briefs, build accurate timelines, and prepare detailed estimates.




- Manage studio bookings and keep tasks moving through the agency workflow efficiently.
- Manage select projects end-to-end, including direct client communication when required.
- Work across a diverse mix of accounts, including government behavioural-change campaigns, FMCG, finance, and real estate.

About You

You know the agency world inside out. You understand the pace, the terminology, how studio bookings work, and how to keep momentum going when things move fast.

Requirements & Skills:

- Agency Experience: At least 2 years of direct advertising agency experience is required. (Client-side experience alone won't cut it for this one—we need someone who already speaks 'agency flow').
- Proactive & Intuitive: You see what needs doing and jump in to help. You pick things up quickly and aren't afraid of varied tasks.
- Positive & Adaptable: You bring positive energy, stay calm under pressure, and can easily shift gears when priorities move.
- Great Communicator: Comfortable liaising with internal creative/studio teams and external clients clearly and professionally.

What’s on Offer

- Flexible Engagement: Full-time or 0.8 FTE contract over 4–5 months, with adaptable daily hours available by arrangement.
- Hybrid Working: Work from their bright, open-plan Pulteney Street office (with your own dedicated desk) around 3 to 5 days a week, tailored to workload and team needs.
- Great Team Culture: Work alongside a supportive team who will give you clear direction and set you up for success.
