Description du poste

We're looking for an account director who keeps clients happy, teams sharp and projects moving. You'll lead branding and marketing accounts from the first conversation to the final delivery, keep an eye on profitability and help our team do its best work.

What you'll do

You'll be a strategic partner rather than just a service provider. You'll work closely with our client service, strategic and creative teams, and with different client partners depending on the accounts you lead.

• You manage relationships with clients and translate their challenges into a clear direction for strategy, creative work and communication, and challenge briefs when there's a better way
• You own the commercial health of your accounts, including profitability, margins, forecasting, scopes and fees, and you act on risks before they become problems
• You spot growth opportunities within your client portfolio and turn them into concrete proposals
• You lead and coach the account managers and account executives on your accounts
• You keep the client partner for your accounts informed, so they always know what's going on

What we are looking for

We're looking for someone with extensive experience as an account director or in a senior client leadership role, ideally in a branding agency or on the client side in a brand or marketing environment. Alongside a proven track record of managing senior client relationships and complex, integrated accounts, you'll also bring the following:

• Strong strategic, commercial and financial understanding — think scope, profitability, forecasting and account growth
• Experience leading and coaching account managers and account executives
• The ability to juggle multiple priorities, projects and stakeholders
• Fluency in Dutch and English, both spoken and written, with French as a nice bonus

What's in it for you

You'll be joining a team with plenty of expertise and a genuine we've-got-your-back mentality.

A few other perks:

• A competitive salary and benefits package, and a place where you can develop ambitious brands and yourself
• Extras like a flexible benefits plan, health and group insurance, internet allowance, meal vouchers, eco vouchers and an annual bonus
• A yearly budget for training and development, because we're big on learning and sharing knowledge
• Plenty of ways to get around, including a lease bike, an electric company car with charging card, or a train pass
• Fresh soup every day, and office fruit as the cherry on top

Who we are

Brigada was born when Fantastic, mortierbrigade, Onlyhumans, Today, Who Owns The Zebra and the B2B team of meetmarcel joined forces. The fight we picked? We want to get brands and people moving again — not by pushing every button at once, but by pushing for a clear direction.

To make sharp decisions, you need to see the bigger picture. That's why we bring together the four key domains of brand, product, people and marketing — combining the service of an integrated agency with the expertise of all the different specialist agencies that brands would otherwise need — and need to keep aligned.
