Account Director (Business Development & Growth)

Creative Production Agency

Location: London, SE1
Salary: £40,000–£55,000 (DOE) + uncapped commission
Work Arrangement: Hybrid (4 office days/1 WFH)

Essential Criteria

Before applying, please check that you meet the following essential criteria:

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in a creative/production agency or similar.
  • Extensive contacts in 1 or 2 key premium verticals such as Luxury, Automotive, Travel, etc.
  • Experienced in winning new clients - opening doors, pitching, and negotiating, with examples to evidence this.

About the Role

We're partnering with an award-winning creative production agency that is entering an exciting new phase of growth. Having built an impressive client portfolio across sport, gaming, travel, entertainment, and more, the agency is now investing heavily in its commercial efforts and is looking to appoint an ambitious Account Director to help shape the next ambitious stage of the business.

This is far more than a traditional Account Director position - you'll have the autonomy to build a sector, develop long-term client relationships, and ultimately create your own business unit within the agency.

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.
