• Mentoring and developing talented junior team members, setting the standard for collaboration and culture
• Supporting (or leading) high-stakes new business pitches – crafting decks, managing pitch teams and contributing fresh thinking
• Overseeing budgets and scopes, working alongside the senior leadership team to ensure commercial efficiency
• Managing sensitive or complex media issues with confidence, including occasional crisis comms and reactive response
• Contributing to agency life beyond client work – from company culture and wellbeing to inclusion, recruitment and planning away days

What we’re looking for:

• An established Senior Account Director (not stepping up from AD) with demonstrable experience leading large-scale FMCG, consumer or lifestyle brands
• Proven track record in running multiple accounts simultaneously and managing matrixed teams
• Strong cultural awareness and confidence in working across earned media, influencer and integrated environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and an ability to distil complex ideas into compelling strategies and outputs
• A thoughtful and inclusive leader who champions team growth and wellbeing
• A collaborative spirit, excited to contribute to a culture of creativity, kindness and ambition
