Job description

About Scouty

Scouty is the UK’s leading location marketplace for still and motion productions. We work with thousands of productions across fashion, lifestyle, tech, and more – connecting agencies, production companies, and brands with unique locations for their shoots.

We’re entering our next phase of growth with ambitions to become the global standard for location sourcing. This role will be instrumental in that journey.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Account Director with roots in the production world to lead commercial growth across our client base, from established relationships with major brands like Disney, BBC, and ASOS to emerging production companies and creative agencies.

Reporting to the CEO and working alongside heads of department, you’ll have the autonomy to define your own scope, set commercial targets, and build the processes to achieve them. You’ll be converting our extensive database of production teams into deeper, more engaged partnerships – turning sign-ups into paying customers and sporadic bookings into retained accounts. You’ll also be actively hunting for new business, both within your existing production network and by building fresh relationships beyond it.

This is a collaborative, fast-paced environment where everyone’s voice matters and where the breadth of your responsibility creates immediate impact on our trajectory.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive revenue growth by converting warm leads into paying customers and growing existing accounts from sporadic bookings into ongoing retained partnerships
• Proactively develop new business within your production network and build relationships with agencies, production companies, and brands
• Lead compelling commercial conversations
• Own and report on commercial targets with full autonomy
• Work closely with the product team, feeding back market insights to inform our roadmap
• Build and refine sales processes as we scale

You’ll Have

• Production industry experience – whether as a producer, production coordinator, or agency-side
• A proven track record of driving commercial outcomes
• A network in production and the confidence to activate it
• The drive to own ambitious targets and the resilience to hit them
• An entrepreneurial mindset – you thrive with autonomy and move fast
• Strong relationship-building skills and genuine commercial instinct

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of an ambitious team that’s already disrupted a traditional industry, with clients who love what we’ve built. You’ll have real ownership, the trust to make decisions, and the opportunity to shape how we grow.
