WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We’re on the look-out for a talented Account Director to head up a fast-growing, social-led lifestyle account. If you’re strategic, commercially driven, have excellent Client Service skills and love to grow business, this could be for you! This role will include occasional travel for meetings and productions, and report to the Client Service Director.

WHAT YOU DO

Working alongside our strategy and creative teams, you’ll be leading a rapidly growing account to deliver everything from positioning and channel strategies to always-on and social campaigns.
You’ll be responsible for managing productions of different scales (from small and agile to creator-led and high-value film and photo production).
You’ll build strong, long-term relationships with clients, acting as a strategic partner and trusted consultant.
You believe in delivering outstanding creative and understand how this flexes across channels and touch points. In particular, you’ll have an understanding of social (mainly Instagram and TikTok) and what it takes to perform well there.
You’re detail oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture. Producing great creative that delivers results for the client is the aim of the game.
The main client is in the lifestyle space, so you’ll be dealing with licensees and brand collaboration partners; sometimes, even suggesting them! Diplomacy and effective project and relationship handling will be key.
You take overall responsibility for the successful delivery of all of your projects, from finance and briefing to resource booking and reporting. You’ll be an operational pro, highly organised, accountable and reliable.
You’ll have a good grasp of profitability and financial rigour, and will support the CSD with assessments of burn rates, and overall financial reporting of your P&L.
You are passionate about growth, and an expert at identifying new opportunities, and converting them. From organic growth to new service offerings, this is a huge part of the role – as the client continues to grow, we grow with them!
You have a can-do attitude, drive and ambition. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves…
If you’re driven and hungry for growth, this account is sure to keep you challenged and growing – but the best part is, it’s also great fun. The tight agency team are top notch, and the clients are great!

You are a born motivator, someone who fosters a collaborative and results-driven culture, leading a high-performing team to achieve common goals.
You have strong financial acumen and experience in managing large agency and external budgets.
