Both businesses run full-funnel, multi-media campaigns from brand through to performance so this is a great opportunity for a Business Director to make a significant positive impact across a breadth of different areas!

The client team across the Intuit brands includes 3 Account Directors plus Manager, Senior Exec, Executive and Assistant roles who will report directly on specific projects and need coordinating to deliver excellence in client service, planning and commercial consistency.

Delivering Great Work; we believe great work helps us to build client love and energise our teams so it’s crucial that we are always looking for new and progressive ways of delivering it. You are the driving force behind this, setting the standard and ensuring our clients constantly see us as a brave agency that will challenge them. You are comfortable using and briefing others to use data to uncover new solutions and engaged in new developments in the media landscape.

Commercial Acumen; You are responsible for the commercials on your accounts and will have a clear understanding of the contract to create a business plan to deliver growth. You take the lead on forecasting and work closely with investment.

Supported By Us; Yours is a big job but it’s not something you have to manage alone. Just as you manage the team who report into you, we also want you to manage upwards to the senior support in the agency.
