We're partnering with a well-established video production agency that's continuing to grow and is looking to hire an experienced Account Director to help drive its next phase of expansion.
Working with some of the world's best-known brands and leading creative agencies, the team delivers award-winning content across social campaigns, TV commercials, branded content, digital films, OOH and key visuals, both in the UK and internationally.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong commercial mindset and an existing network within a sector such as fashion, gaming, fintech or another relevant industry.

The Opportunity
This role is a little different from a traditional Account Director position. Initially, your focus will be on winning new business through your existing network, proactive outreach and relationship building. Once you've secured new clients, you'll become the Account Director on those accounts, overseeing projects from brief through to delivery while developing long-term client partnerships.
As the agency continues to grow, you'll play a key role in building out your sector, with Business Development Managers and Account Managers joining the team to support new business activity. Over time, the role naturally evolves into a more strategic Account Director position focused on growing client relationships and leading your area of the business.
