Ready to step into a role where you'll have a genuine seat at the table, influence agency growth, shape client strategy, and lead a talented team?
This is an opportunity to join an award-winning independent B2B creative agency at an exciting stage of its journey. Following a major rebrand, a refreshed vision, and significant investment into its people and culture, the agency is entering a new phase of growth and is looking for an ambitious Account Director to help lead the charge.
You'll work with ambitious brands, build long-term strategic partnerships, and play a key role in driving both client success and agency growth. If you enjoy combining commercial thinking, team leadership, and strategic client management, this role offers the perfect platform to make a real impact.
The Opportunity
As Account Director, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of key client accounts, acting as a trusted strategic partner while leading a high-performing client services team.
You'll help shape account strategy, uncover growth opportunities, and ensure the delivery of exceptional creative and marketing work. Beyond client leadership, you'll have a direct influence on agency culture, team development, and future business success.

- Championing best practice, performance, and excellence across the wider business
What We're Looking For
- Experience in an Account Director, Senior Account Director, or equivalent client leadership role
- Strong agency background, ideally within B2B marketing, creative, or integrated environments
- A proven track record of growing and nurturing client relationships
- Experience leading, mentoring, and inspiring teams
- Strong commercial acumen with an understanding of profitability and account growth
- Confidence leading strategic client conversations at a senior stakeholder level
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
