Account Director in London

Current Global is a global communications agency that puts humanity at the heart of everything we do, from our internal culture rooted in empathy to the way we help clients understand that people want to connect with companies and brands as real and human as they are. We say we’re the human-first agency. We’ve consistently outperformed the PR market, are one of the fastest-growing mid-sized agency brands globally, a top 60 firm by revenue, and last year (2024) was our most award-winning year ever. Part of Omnicom and a member of The Weber Shandwick Collective, we’ve got offices in Asia, Europe, MENAT, North and South America. We boast a client roster including some of the world’s most recognised company names in technology, fashion, digital, and medtech.

To support our continued growth, our B2B / Tech team is looking for an Account Director who loves the challenge of taking complex and nuanced topics and making them relevant and accessible to mainstream audiences and business decision-makers – across borders.

What is the role? This is an opportunity to advance your skills working on international campaigns at the highest level, helping shape strategy and working directly with senior client stakeholders and business leaders. The chance to work on some of the most exciting brands in the world. The ability to draw on all the resources of a top global networked agency (world‑class creatives, digital and video teams, and analytics experts) – while at the same time, working in an entrepreneurial environment, where there is no ceiling to your development or opportunity to advance.

Our London B2B / tech team is small but mighty (as well as being super fun!) – you’ll collaborate daily with our Global Technology Lead who sits in the London office. Our work is geared towards mainstream business audiences. So, we’re dealing with issues and topics (vs. just product announcements). You’ll delve into topics including GenAI’s impact on the workplace, enterprises’ responsibilities to advance sustainability, and data’s role in helping companies forge new revenue models. You will be supported by smart, hard‑working and caring people. We are committed to delivering excellence. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. If that sounds like you, it will probably be a fit!

Responsibilities include:

• Supporting local teams across the globe in leveraging owned and earned channels to land impactful B2B and corporate campaigns
• Working with clients and exec leaders from all around the world
• Helping brainstorm ideas for new campaigns and creating content for use by local counties, including materials for owned digital and social channels
• Working closely with counties around the world to support successful media engagements and ensure we’re maximising impact on their owned social channels

Who are you?

• Experience working on multi‑market campaigns
• Very strong writing skills – and a love for writing
• Experience working on executive communications (LinkedIn comms a huge plus here!)
• Media relations with mainstream business press
• Used to working with GenAI tools as part of your everyday work
• Resilient
• Collaborative spirit balanced with pride of ownership
• Have a love of learning – and open to using AI tools as you tackle your daily work

Even better if you have:

• Commercial acumen – with an ability to manage budgets and help us drive profitably. If that’s new to you, that’s okay – we can train you up. But you should be interested in developing these skills
• Experience working with large multinational clients / experience with comms programs that extend outside of the UK

We are based in London with an exciting office space in Liverpool Street, which boasts a roof terrace (with some awesome views!), a spacious, modern design, and a thriving office community. We are a flexible bunch, so please do reach out if you have flexibility requirements such as part‑time working and/or remote working requirements and we’ll be happy to discuss.

Core Benefits:

• Private medical insurance, group life assurance, group income protection, personal pension plan, and our Employee Assistance Programme which includes a free confidential helpline for personal and professional challenges.
• Good mental health support is a major priority for us.
• Flexible working with our 3:2 hybrid work model, 25 days’ annual leave (in addition to public holidays) plus 2 volunteering days, birthday day off work and Christmas period off.
• Flexible public holidays, sweets and snacks in the office, exclusive shopping discounts and perks, Headspace membership, annual eyecare voucher, season ticket loan, referral bonus scheme, long service bonus, enhanced family leave, inclusive and invisible health policies.
