Salary

£65,000-£80,000 + performance bonus

Company Description

1920 Worldwide Ltd is a London-based growth and marketing services agency with an integrated venture studio, delivering high‑impact strategy and activation for global B2B giants like Heineken, Diageo, and UPS. We operate as a boutique team where everyone owns real work and builds long‑term value through client results and new ventures.

Job Description

As an execution‑led Account Director at 1920 Worldwide Ltd, you will own day‑to‑day delivery for two major global B2B accounts in the logistics and technology sectors. You will lead complex projects, manage budgets, and coordinate internal teams to ensure high‑quality execution that translates integrated marketing strategies into measurable commercial results and brand growth.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Ownership of high‑stakes, global B2B accounts for household names such as UPS and Cisco without the layers or handoffs of a traditional large agency environment.
• Unique hybrid model combining a marketing services agency with a venture studio, offering a rare route to equity participation in the ventures we create together.
• A high‑autonomy environment where delivery excellence is rewarded with a clear path to senior autonomy and a wider strategic remit as the accounts grow.

What You Will Do

• Own the day‑to‑day client relationship and operational workflow for two flagship global accounts, ensuring projects move seamlessly from creative idea to conversion.
• Manage end‑to‑end delivery including planning, budgets, and briefing internal or freelance teams to maintain tight status and consistent momentum across all workstreams.
• Coordinate international sponsorship activations and integrated brand campaigns, including providing necessary cover for US East Coast client hours and occasional evening calls.

The ideal candidate

• Proven integrated agency pedigree from top‑tier firms such as McCann, BBH, or Ogilvy, with a strong focus on hands‑on delivery rather than just people management.
• Deep B2B marketing experience across technology, logistics, or finance, ideally paired with exposure to sports rights holders and sponsorship activation across international markets.
• A data‑led, commercially‑minded professional who is comfortable holding a room during senior client presentations while remaining obsessive about the granular details of project status.
