Account Director

£52k per annum
Full-time

If you’re an experienced Account Director or a strong Senior Account Manager ready to step up, this is an opportunity to take on a genuinely influential role within a growing B2B Agency.

This is an agency that genuinely invests in its people. Many of the senior team have built long careers here and progression isn’t just talked about, it’s delivered. They’ve built a reputation for delivering smart, commercially effective marketing that helps clients solve real business challenges. They’ve grown steadily, retained clients for years and created a culture where talented people stay, develop and progress.

As the agency continues to grow, there will be opportunities for ambitious people to take on greater responsibility, broaden their influence and play a bigger role in shaping the future direction of the business.

If you’re excited by the idea of helping grow client relationships, influencing agency success, developing people and becoming a key part of a leadership team over time, we’d love to hear from you.

The role:

This is a senior client leadership position where you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of accounts, ensuring high-quality delivery, strong relationships and ongoing growth.

You’ll work across the full lifecycle of projects, from initial brief and research through to campaign delivery and evaluation, acting as a trusted partner to your clients and a central figure internally.

Alongside this, you’ll contribute to new business, support pitches and help identify opportunities to grow both your accounts and the agency.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading day-to-day management of key B2B client accounts
  • Acting as a senior strategic partner, building trusted relationships
  • Overseeing delivery of integrated campaigns across digital, content and brand
  • Managing commercial performance including budgets, forecasting and profitability
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members
  • Contributing to new business, proposals and pitches
  • Identifying and driving organic growth opportunities

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong experience in an agency environment (B2B preferred but not essential)
  • Confident leading client relationships and presenting at a senior level
  • Commercially aware, organised and solutions-focused
  • Experience delivering integrated campaigns (strong digital experience a plus)
  • A natural collaborator who enjoys working across strategy, creative and delivery

Why join:

  • Strong, collaborative team culture
  • Exposure to a wide range of B2B sectors
  • Genuine opportunity to influence agency growth
  • Clear progression and development framework
  • Hybrid working (2 days office based) and excellent benefits

Our Commitment to Diversity:

We are committed to improving diversity, equity and inclusion within the sectors we serve. We encourage applications for this role from all backgrounds and communities and offer equal opportunities to all candidates regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age, and any other protected status. Should you require any reasonable adjustments at any point in the recruitment process we are very happy to discuss and work with you to accommodate these.
