About Fabric

Fabric isn’t your average social agency - we’re mavericks, culture-obsessed, trend-first and community-first thinkers. We’re not just about reach; we’re about resonance. We nourish communities, creating social ecosystems that pull audiences in, not just push content out. And now, we’re on the hunt for an Account Director to help lead the charge.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the day-to-day relationship with German-market stakeholders across Subway DE, Sony Europe DE and Ever Clean DE, providing clear, thoughtful and trusted advice.
• Shape integrated social strategies that support each client’s wider marketing and business objectives across organic, paid, influencer and creative activity.
• Partner with teams in the UK and the Netherlands to adapt international strategies, campaigns and learnings for German audiences.
• Guide projects from initial brief through to asset approval, establishing clear budgets, timelines, scopes of work and ways of working.
• Oversee account performance and reporting, turning data into practical insights and recommendations that clients can act on.
• Manage the commercial health of your portfolio, including profitability, budgets, resourcing, financial documentation and opportunities for sustainable growth.
• Lead meetings, reviews, planning sessions and presentations in German and English, with regular travel to Berlin and occasional travel elsewhere in Germany or to the UK.

Skills We're Looking For

• Fluency in German and strong written and spoken English, enabling you to build trusted relationships and communicate effectively across international teams.
• Experience in client services within a social, creative or integrated agency, with the ability to provide direction across multiple accounts.
• A strong understanding of the German market, including cultural context, consumer trends, platform behaviour and the competitive landscape.
• Strategic knowledge of social media, paid media and influencer marketing, and an understanding of how they contribute to broader communications.
• Experience managing client relationships, budgets, scopes of work, project delivery and account profitability.
• The ability to translate performance data into clear insights, recommendations and engaging client presentations.
• A collaborative and solutions-focused approach, with a commitment to supporting colleagues, addressing issues early and raising the quality of the work.
