Account Director - Shepperton, Middlesex
£55,000 OTE £75,000 - £90,000 plus benefits
Bluetree are recruiting for a commercial Account Director role at an agency that trusts its people to lead. If you're a brilliant Senior Account Manager ready to step up, or an Account Director who wants more ownership, more variety, and a real say in where the business goes next, keep reading.
Our client is a fast-growing, technology-focused marketing agency working with some of the biggest names in global tech. They're looking for an ambitious Account Director to take a senior leadership role across key accounts, drive growth, and help shape the agency's next chapter. This is a permanent full-time onsite role.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Real seniority, real ownership: You'll be the commercial and strategic lead on a portfolio of major technology clients.
- Variety that keeps you sharp: Demand generation, ABM, sales enablement, social, video and live events, all under one remit.
- A seat at the table: Contribute directly to agency growth, new business pitches and how the team is shaped and run.
- A close-knit, hands-on culture: Small team, big impact, no bureaucracy, and leadership that works alongside you rather than above you.
- Global stakeholders, high stakes, high reward: Manage senior relationships across world-class technology organisations.
The Opportunity
As Account Director, you will own and grow a portfolio of strategic technology clients, acting as senior point of contact and commercial lead across accounts. You'll drive integrated campaigns spanning demand generation, sales enablement, digital engagement, social, video and events, ensuring every piece of work is strategically sound, commercially strong, and delivered to the highest standard.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also play a genuine leadership role within the agency: mentoring and developing account teams, improving processes, and actively contributing to business growth. It's a small, hands-on team, so while you'll be leading, you'll also be mucking in and delivering alongside them.
What You'll Be Doing
- Owning and developing senior client relationships as a trusted strategic advisor
- Leading multi-channel campaign delivery across demand generation, ABM, sales enablement, social, video and events
- Identifying and converting account growth opportunities: upsell, cross-sell and new programmes
- Leading, mentoring and developing Account Managers and Account Executives
- Overseeing briefing, planning and execution across all client workstreams
- Ensuring strategic alignment between client objectives and agency output
- Reviewing and shaping proposals for commercial accuracy and creative strength
- Owning forecasting, profitability and account performance
- Leading high-level client presentations, reviews and planning sessions
- Managing senior stakeholder relationships across global technology organisations
- Supporting agency leadership on new business development and pitching when required
- Ensuring excellence in delivery across timelines, budgets and quality standards
