Are you a commercially minded Account Director who enjoys growing client relationships as much as delivering exceptional work?

We're looking for an experienced Account Director to join a well-established digital performance agency where you'll take ownership of a portfolio of client accounts, shape digital strategy and identify opportunities to grow revenue through additional services.

Operating as a predominantly remote business, the team comes together in person around once per quarter. Day-to-day, you'll work closely with specialists across website development, SEO, AEO, CRO, analytics and digital media, helping clients achieve stronger results while building long-term partnerships.

This role would suit an Account Director who enjoys the strategic side of client services but is equally comfortable getting into the detail.

You'll need to be commercially aware, highly organised and confident working directly with both clients and internal specialists.

What you'll be doing

As an Account Director, you'll lead a portfolio of client relationships, becoming a trusted adviser and a valued extension of your clients' marketing teams.

  • Develop strategic plans, identify opportunities to grow accounts through cross-selling and upselling additional services, and help clients get greater value from their digital investment.
  • Play a key role in driving account growth while ensuring commercial performance remains strong.
  • Working alongside specialists across SEO, CRO, analytics, digital media and web development, you'll coordinate activity, challenge thinking and ensure campaigns and projects are delivered to a consistently high standard.
  • Analyse performance data, develop actionable insights and present clear recommendations to clients.
  • Be comfortable simplifying complex information and helping clients understand where opportunities exist.
  • Whilst this is a strategic role, you'll also be happy rolling your sleeves up when needed. There isn't currently a junior team supporting the accounts, so you'll need to be organised, efficient and comfortable managing the detail as well as the bigger picture.
  • Lead colleagues within each client team, build strong internal relationships and adapt your communication style to suit different audiences and situations.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
