This role leads digital growth strategies across CRM, marketing automation, commerce, analytics, and related enterprise platforms.

Location:-

This is a hybrid role with some work-from-home flexibility. Preference will be given to candidates in the Greater Toronto Area, as the role follows a three-day-per-week in-office schedule to support collaboration, workshops, and client engagement. Travel to client and partner offices is required.

• Commercial Growth: Collaborate with Business Development and Client Services leadership to shape proposals, expand accounts, and prioritize profitable growth opportunities.
• Operational Discipline: Maintain CRM accuracy and pipeline health in HubSpot to support transparent reporting, resource forecasting, and account risk management.

Technical Platform Ecosystem:-

The Account Director should bring strong conceptual and architectural awareness of enterprise technology platforms to guide client roadmaps across these areas:

• Enterprise CRM & Automation: Use Salesforce and related platforms to improve lead generation, audience data management, engagement tracking, and pipeline efficiency.
• Digital Experience & Content: Advise on Adobe Experience Cloud and CMS initiatives that create consistent customer experiences across web, mobile, and digital channels.
• Composable Commerce: Guide API-first and headless commerce strategies, including CommerceTools, to support flexible and scalable digital storefronts.
• Data Analytics & Insights: Use analytics platforms, including Google Analytics, to track performance, build reporting models, and recommend data-backed optimizations.

What You’ll Bring:-

• Professional Experience: 5 to 8 years of progressive experience in strategic account management, technology consulting, digital marketing, or enterprise agency environments.
• Technical Fluency: Experience managing enterprise-scale web applications, cloud solutions, systems integrations, or digital platforms.
• Executive Communication: Strong business analysis, storytelling, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills for senior and C-suite audiences.
• Client Advocacy: Ability to navigate matrixed client organizations and turn ambiguous requirements into structured delivery plans.
• Solution Orientation: A results-driven mindset focused on delivering value, strengthening client relationships, and exceeding expectations.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred in Marketing, Information Technology, Business Administration, or a related field.
