With a growing roster of Domestic and International clients The Dialogue Network is looking to expand its digital team with an Intern to fill the position of Digital Account Executive.

You will get the chance to work closely with our clients, suppliers and account managers/directors to implement, monitor, optimise and report on client campaigns, as well as help build and develop new client accounts and relationships.
