Account Manager Automotive

The reality is we spend most of our lives at work, so it helps if it’s a rewarding, inspiring place to be. At 3PM, we’ve gone out of our way to create an environment where the whole team is truly valued – where coming to work is something we actually get excited about. Agency-land has gained itself a crappy reputation over the years. But we’re not like the others. We’ve always had a strict no d%ckhead policy and that’s not about to change. We’ve got positive vibes coming out of our ear holes. Our workplace culture is known for being bloody good [just to prove it, we won Drum’s Great Place to Work Award]. We host fun monthly events for the whole 3PM family. We were recognised by The Australian Financial Review as one of the fastest-growing companies in 2020, and one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2021. We were announced Agency of the Year in the 2025 Titan Awards When you treat yourself to a career at 3PM, you’ll get: A permanent working-from-home arrangement. A wellness plan (updated annually). A confidential mental health support program. The chance to be part of an innovative company that continues to grow and expand. Enough about how amazing it is to work here, what do we actually DO?
