Account Director (London Area)

FTC, 12 months. Start date: June

Central London | 3 days in-office | 12 month contract

We’re looking for an experienced, commercially sharp Account Director/ Senior Manager to join a fast-growing creative consultancy that helps global brands unlock their creative potential.

You’ll be part of a dynamic, strategic team that partners with some of the world’s best-known brands — working closely with senior marketers to build long-term relationships and help embed creativity as a business advantage.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a creative agency or consultancy background who understands the creative process, cares deeply about creative effectiveness, and has the commercial maturity to nurture clients and grow key accounts.

Although not a business development role you need to be used to working to targets when it comes upselling clients.

What you’ll do

• Build and develop trusted relationships with senior marketing clients
• Help clients shape and deliver creative transformation programmes
• Support on strategic account planning, growth forecasting and delivery
• Work cross-functionally with delivery, strategy, and content leads to ensure projects are aligned with client needs and have real impact
• Contribute to thought leadership, new business and partnership development as needed

What we’re looking for

• A strategic operator who understands how creativity works inside large brands
• Strong commercial instincts — you know how to grow accounts and build long-term value
• Excellent relationship-builder, confident navigating C-suite conversations
• Experience in or around creative agencies, marketing consultancies, or brand-side creative leadership
• Comfortable with data, reporting, and supporting performance evaluation
• Someone who thrives in a growing team and fast-paced environment

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years in account development, brand strategy, or creative consultancy
• Experience working across multiple stakeholders — from strategy to delivery
• A genuine passion for creativity and a belief in its value to business
• Immediate availability is preferred

This is a hybrid role, with three days a week in a Central London office and the rest flexible. You’ll join a passionate, collaborative team that’s shaping how creativity delivers commercial impact.

Please note this role is a lower base salary of £45k but with the potential to earn up to £90k across the year in bonus related to project delivery.
