📍 Hybrid | Watford (2 days onsite) + Home Working
At Paragon Brand Services, we don’t just manage accounts—we build long-term partnerships that help some of the world’s leading brands deliver exceptional experiences for their customers.
We’re looking for an experienced Account Director to join our team, leading strategic client relationships while delivering innovative Point of Sale (POS) solutions for our clients. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines commercial acumen with outstanding client management skills and has a strong background in 2D or 3D POS—ideally both.
About the Role
You’ll act as the trusted partner to your clients, taking ownership of operational delivery, commercial performance, and strategic growth. Working closely with internal creative, production, and supply chain teams, you’ll ensure seamless project delivery while identifying value-add opportunities and driving innovation.
Responsibilities
- Build and develop senior client relationships.
- Lead the successful delivery of retail marketing and POS programmes.
- Drive account growth, profitability, and continuous improvement.
- Manage budgets, forecasting, and commercial performance.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver best-in-class solutions.
- Identify new opportunities across Paragon’s full portfolio of services.
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.
