Job description

Pitch has the pleasure of partnering with one of Leicestershire’s longest-standing agencies. This team has not only stood the test of time, they’ve continued to adapt with the market – and they’re about to do it again.

Following the acquisition of another successful agency, the business is entering an exciting period of growth and transformation, and they’re looking for a talented Account Director to join them for the ride.

Reporting directly into the head of the Client Services team, you’ll work alongside a skilled team of account handlers and PR, content, social, creative, video and digital specialists. It’s a genuinely full-service, integrated agency where great ideas don’t have to fit neatly into one channel.

So, where do you come in?

As Account Director, you’ll play a key role in the strategic thinking, consultation and development of client campaigns, bringing together the right people and channels to deliver brilliant, joined-up solutions.

You’ll be an integrated thinker, comfortable working across online and offline marketing. You’ll know your Meta from your Google Ads, understand how SEO and web work together, be comfortable tackling a brand campaign and appreciate the role CRM, content, social and creative play within the wider marketing mix.

You don't need to be the person physically delivering every channel – no one expects you to be an SEO expert, PPC whizz and creative genius all rolled into one! But you'll understand the channels well enough to challenge, advise and bring the right specialists together to create great work for your clients.

The role will give you plenty of variety – so if you like every day to look a little different, even better. You’ll cover client strategy and consultancy, project delivery, account growth, new business, team engagement and plenty of face time with clients.

What do you need?

Agency experience would be a big win! Failing that, you’ll need strong integrated marketing experience and a genuine understanding of how different channels work together.

You'll also need to be:

• An excellent communicator who builds strong client relationships.
• Commercially minded and confident spotting opportunities to grow accounts.
• Curious and consultative – someone who asks not only “why?” but “why not?”
• Comfortable working across digital, creative and wider marketing channels.
• Confident leading projects, managing budgets and keeping delivery on track.
• A team player who enjoys bringing people together to deliver great work.
• Comfortable getting involved in pitches and new business opportunities.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who likes getting stuck in. Someone who enjoys clients, enjoys agency life and gets a buzz from seeing a great idea turn into a great campaign.

If you’re looking for a challenge where you can make a difference, develop your career and work with great clients and a genuinely lovely team, this could be it.

You’ll be rewarded with a generous salary and benefits package, a 3-day office / 2-day home hybrid working pattern, and a fantastic team around you.

Sounds like your kind of agency?
