Job Description

SAM / Account Director - 3-Month FTC (with a view to permanent)

Hybrid role with 3 days in our Bishopsgate, London Office

A bit about the agency:

We are 150 people dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well, because we believe when a truth is told well things change for the better. Fuelled by an obsession with truth and the richness of a connected network, our work lives on the edge of mainstream culture, building enduring brands, growing businesses and giving our people a platform to grow.

We've delivered joy with a little help from Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry and Xtina and Latto for "Did Somebody Say Just Eat", helped L’Oréal show people "They're Worth It", given everyone the right to access great quality food most notably with Kevin the Carrot for Aldi, and put a "Priceless" tag on a leading global payments brand, to name a few.

We're proudly part of the McCann Worldgroup global network.

The Part You'll Play as Account Director:

We're looking for an Account Director - or a highly experienced Senior Account Manager ready to step up - to join us on a 3-month fixed term contract, with a strong possibility of going permanent. You'll be working across two exciting global accounts in the beauty and tourism sectors, delivering fully integrated 360 brand campaigns.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who's ready to take the next step in their career, with the chance to lead high-profile work across all channels. TVC experience is essential, as both accounts include broadcast as well as digital, social, and OOH.

Start date: ASAP

Specifically, duties will include:

• Supporting or leading the development of integrated campaigns across TV, digital, social, and OOH.
• Building strong relationships with client stakeholders and internal teams.
• Helping shape strategic direction and ensuring creative work is on brief and on brand.
• Managing timelines, budgets, and resources to ensure smooth delivery.
• Collaborating with creative, strategy, and production teams to bring ideas to life.
• Contributing to a positive team culture and supporting junior team members.

A bit about you & your previous experience:

• You're currently an Account Director or a Senior Account Manager with extensive experience, ready to step up.
• You've worked on integrated campaigns across multiple channels, including TVCs.
• You're confident managing client relationships and working with senior stakeholders.
• You're organised, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced, creative environment.
• You're a team player who's ready to take ownership and grow quickly in the role.

A bit about perks of the job:

• Three "Time Well Taken" days throughout the year where we switch off collectively.
• On-demand 1:1 mental health and coaching support through MyndUp (alongside a free Headspace membership)
• Subsidised on-site massages, haircuts and manicures as well as cuddles from furry friends (we're a dog friendly office)
• Free onsite breakfast, snacks and drinks with regular "Lounge Nights" in the office rooftop social space
• Lots of tools to help us grow from SPARK (our internal L&D platform) to LinkedIn Learning, as well as external opportunities with NABS, WACL and the IPA, amongst others
• Your birthday off - because who wants to work on their birthday?
• A tree planted in your name for every year you celebrate your McCanniversary
• A Cycle to Work scheme and facilities including showers and hair styling appliances
• Discounts with partners such as Eataly, Merlin and cinemas as well as access to independent financial advice
