Account Director | Integrated brand agency | Bristol | £50k - £55k

Get stuck in. Help shape the work. Be part of a team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

This brilliant 20-strong agency is looking for an Account Director who’s not just great at keeping plates spinning, but genuinely enjoys the work—and wants to be hands-on in making it better

This isn’t a role for someone who just delegates and checks in from a distance. They're after someone who’s happy getting involved in the detail, who brings ideas to the table, and who wants to contribute—not just manage. You’ll be leading on a couple of b2c clients, including one of the biggest in the golf sector - so if you know the game (or just appreciate a solid 7-iron), that’s a bonus.

As an agency, they work across a wide range of integrated campaigns, devise brand strategies and cover all of the activation from social, websites, content and eCRM.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building strong relationships with your clients; getting to know their business inside out, and becoming someone they trust to get things done properly.
• Turning briefs into something the creative team can really run with.
• Working across channels—digital, video, design, and media - and keeping everything moving smoothly.
• Partnering with our strategy team to make sure the thinking is solid and the work delivers.
• Supporting the team around you—offering guidance, clarity, and the odd pep talk when needed.

We think you’ll need:

• A few years’ experience as an Account Director (or a Senior Account Manager ready to step up).
• Confidence in running integrated campaigns and leading conversations with senior stakeholders.
• A solid grip on budgets, scopes, and timelines - you’re comfortable in the numbers.
• A proactive, sleeves-up attitude. You're happy mucking in when it’s needed, and you lead by example.
• A people-first approach - you like working as part of a team, and you help make the team stronger.

The good stuff:

• 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays and your birthday off
• £250 annual anniversary bonus
• Company performance bonus
• Vitality health cover, pension, and life assurance
• Access to Skillshare and a personalised training budget
• Bike to work scheme, childcare vouchers and more
• A genuinely supportive team, with a good sense of humour and no egos

If that sounds like your kind of role, I’d love to hear from you.
