Account Director – full-service marketing agency

We are looking for an Account Director who knows how to build brilliant client relationships and keep them thriving. Someone who enjoys being the steady hand, the strategic thinker and the person clients genuinely trust.

Liaise with your colleagues in creative, paid media, PR and social, and research, so a good understanding of all the marketing disciplines is essential (you don’t need to be an expert in each, but have a good all round understanding). And be well versed in briefing colleagues for projects and on-going marketing plans. 

Guide the direction of client accounts, working closely with clients to understand what they need and where they want to go. You will shape campaigns, oversee delivery and make sure everything lands with impact. You will also support and mentor the account team, helping them grow and do their best work.

Collaborate with creative, digital and strategy specialists to bring integrated ideas to life. You will spot opportunities to grow accounts in a natural, thoughtful way and you will keep a close eye on forecasting and budgets.

Be confident presenting work and recommendations to senior clients, and you will enjoy getting under the skin of their business and sector.  You may be in an in-house position with knowledge and experience of working with agency partners to deliver projects and campaigns.

If you are a natural relationship builder with a strategic mind and a calm, positive approach, this could be a great next step.   We are very interested in Senior Account Manager level candidates looking for the next step to Account Director.
