My client is seeking an Account Director to join their team following a major new client win – a brand investing heavily in sport, culture, and entertainment.

This isn’t just another AD role. You’ll be leading a flagship account that’s expected to become the agency’s biggest client, with significant potential for growth as the account expands.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience in sponsorship and experiential marketing
• Agency experience
• Confidence in leading multi-channel campaigns and complex projects
• Strong client relationship skills and a commercial mindset
• A proactive, collaborative approach – calm under pressure, solution-oriented
• A passion for live sport, culture, and brand presence in these spaces

You will be the key driver in campaign planning and execution, coordinating strategy, creative, partnerships, and production teams to realize big ideas.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop and grow a high-profile account from the outset. Join a team on the rise, with ample room to make your mark.
