Account Director – Paid Social (EMEA)
London | Hybrid | £55,000 – £65,000
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Account Director to join a leading integrated media team, working on one of the agency's largest and most high-profile global accounts.
This is a lateral move for an established Account Director (or Senior Account Manager with 3+ years at that level) looking to step into a highly visible, senior client-facing role across an EMEA remit (8+ markets).
The Role
- Lead paid social strategy and delivery (full-funnel) for a major global client
- Manage day-to-day relationships across multiple EMEA markets, liaising closely with regional teams
- Report into the Business Director, with a small team including an Account Manager, plus support from an offshore hub
- Represent the account at a senior level, working alongside cross-channel specialists within an integrated team structure
- Operate within a high-pressure, high-profile account environment, requiring strong stakeholder management and composure
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.
