Job description

Location: London | Hybrid - 3 days in office

Are you an experienced Senior Account Manager ready to step up, or an established Account Director looking for a role with greater ownership, senior client exposure and genuinely interesting corporate communications work?

I'm working with an exciting, independent corporate communications consultancy that is growing its London team and looking for an Account Director to join at an important stage of its growth.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join an entrepreneurial agency with an international. The team works with an incredibly varied client portfolio spanning corporate organisations, NGOs, government bodies, trade associations and purpose-led brands, across sectors including healthcare, fintech, humanitarian, utilities, consumer brands and professional services.

The work is far from one-dimensional. You'll be working across corporate campaigns, corporate reputation, executive profiling, media relations, and digital communications, giving you the opportunity to work on sophisticated communications challenges while continuing to develop your skillset.

The role

You'll take a leading role across a portfolio of around five client accounts, acting as a trusted adviser to clients and taking ownership of both strategic thinking and day-to-day delivery.

This is a particularly exciting role for someone who enjoys being at the intersection of corporate reputation and modern communications.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Lead and develop client relationships, working closely with senior stakeholders.
• Shape corporate reputation and communications strategies.
• Deliver high-level media relations and executive profiling campaigns.
• Build and enhance executive and brand presence on LinkedIn.
• Develop creative content, video and new-media campaigns.
• Get involved in new business development, pitches and proposals.
• Line manage and support junior members of the team.
• Explore and use AI creatively within communications, from developing ideas and content to improving how campaigns are delivered.

What they're looking for:

They're open to an established Account Director or a high-performing Senior Account Manager ready to take the next step.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong corporate communications and reputation experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience advising senior stakeholders and/or profiling executives.
• Digital communications experience across LinkedIn, content, video or new media.
• A genuine interest in how AI can be used creatively within communications.
• Proven new business and pitching experience.
• Line management or mentoring experience.
• Ideally, experience within a larger network, integrated agency or similarly fast-paced environment.

Most importantly, they're looking for someone who is strategic, curious, commercially minded and excited by the changing communications landscape.

This isn't just another Account Director role.

You'll be joining an independent agency where you'll have real visibility and influence, working alongside senior leaders and having the opportunity to make a tangible impact on both client accounts and the wider agency.

There's a strong culture of development and progression, with rolling promotion and salary reviews, hybrid working and a genuinely sociable and collaborative team.

You'll also get exposure to a fascinating mix of organisations and communications challenges, with the freedom to bring new ideas to the table and help shape how modern corporate communications is delivered.

If you're an ambitious SAM looking for that next step, or an AD ready for a role where you can have more ownership and influence.
