Account Director
Salary: Circa £60,000
Location: Remote
KnoWho Recruitment is proud to be partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing agency brands as they continue an exciting period of expansion. We're looking for an exceptional Account Director to join a high-performing team, leading some of the agency's most important digital media client relationships.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business that's redefining modern marketing through the combination of digital media, performance, data and creative. We're looking for someone who understands how smart media strategy, brilliant creative and meaningful data come together to deliver campaigns that actually move the needle.
Digital media agency experience is essential.
The Opportunity
As Account Director, you'll be a senior figure within the client services team, acting as a trusted partner and strategic lead across a portfolio of key accounts.
- Work closely with clients to understand their commercial and marketing objectives, translating these into digital media strategies and campaigns that deliver against clear business outcomes.
- Be comfortable talking everything from paid social, paid search and digital advertising through to performance, audience strategy, data and measurement.
- Work closely with specialist media and creative teams to ensure campaigns are joined up and effective.
- Play an important role in the agency's continued growth — identifying opportunities, developing existing accounts, supporting new business and helping clients get more from their digital investment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
