Jobbeschreibung

Good clients. Interesting work. Small team. Big opportunity.

KnoWho Recruitment is partnering with an exciting, independent creative agency looking for a brilliant Senior Account Director to join its growing team.

This isn't your typical big-agency account management role.

We're talking a small, dynamic team, genuinely interesting clients, creatively-led work and the opportunity to make a real impact on both the agency and its clients.

Working across brand, strategy, creative, digital and integrated marketing, the agency helps ambitious brands turn complex challenges into compelling campaigns and meaningful marketing solutions.

The client mix is particularly interesting, spanning alcohol brands, healthcare and other ambitious businesses, with plenty of opportunity to get stuck into strategically-led, creatively-driven work.

What's the Role?

You’ll be a key figure within the agency, taking ownership of important client relationships, leading projects and helping bring brilliant work to life.

You’ll need to be someone who enjoys getting close to clients, understanding their businesses and bringing ideas to the table rather than simply managing briefs and timelines.

You’ll work closely with creative, strategy and digital teams, helping shape campaigns, challenge thinking and ensure everything delivered is both creatively strong and commercially effective.

There's also a genuine opportunity to influence how the agency grows, develops its relationships and continues to evolve.

• Leading presentations, workshops and senior stakeholder discussions.
• Managing budgets, scopes, timelines and commercial performance.
• Identifying opportunities to grow accounts and develop new relationships.
• Supporting pitches, new business and the agency's wider growth.
• Working closely with creative and strategy teams to deliver genuinely brilliant work.
• Being hands-on, proactive and willing to get involved wherever needed.

What We're Looking For

• Agency experience across creative, integrated, digital or marketing.
• Ideally an established Account Director or Senior Account Director.
• Strong client relationship management and strategic account leadership.
• An understanding of brand, creative and integrated marketing campaigns.
• Commercially minded, with experience managing and growing accounts.Confident working with senior stakeholders and leading client conversations.
• Someone who enjoys collaborating with creative and strategic teams.
• A natural problem-solver who brings ideas, insight and challenge.
• A self-starter who thrives in a smaller, entrepreneurial environment.
• Alcohol brand experience would be particularly beneficial.
• Healthcare experience would also be desirable, especially if you've worked across regulated or complex client environments.

Why This One?

It's a brilliant opportunity to join an independent agency where you can genuinely make a difference.

You’ll work with interesting brands, alongside a talented and ambitious team, with the freedom to take ownership, contribute ideas and help shape the agency's future.

No unnecessary hierarchy. No hiding behind layers of account management. Just good people, interesting work and the opportunity to build something.

If you're an Account Director or Senior Account Director looking for a more dynamic environment, somewhere you can get closer to the work and have a real influence, this could be a very good move.
