Job description

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Account Director to join one of the Middle East’s leading marketing and advertising agencies, with established presence in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai.

This is a senior client leadership role for an accomplished account professional who has earned their position through experience, sound judgement and an ability to build trusted, long-standing relationships. You will oversee a substantial portfolio of clients, spanning multinational groups, government entities and privately owned businesses, with responsibility for both the quality of the work and the strength of the relationships behind it.

About You

We are looking for someone who has built a career rather than simply moved between roles. Longevity, consistency and a strong reputation in the market matter to us. You should be recognised for your integrity, considered approach and ability to earn the confidence of senior clients, colleagues and stakeholders.

You will bring energy, curiosity and genuine enthusiasm for the work, together with the resilience to navigate demanding situations, composure when priorities shift and the conviction to continually raise the standard.

Most importantly, you will have a genuine passion for brands, ideas, people and the business of making exceptional work happen.

You will also have

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships at every level.
• Highly developed account management and project management capabilities.
• Strong presentation skills and the confidence to present to senior clients and stakeholders.
• The ability to lead complex, high-value client accounts with clarity, commercial awareness and attention to detail.
• Proven experience managing and developing both client relationships and internal teams.
• The judgement and maturity to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

This is not a role for someone simply looking for a title or the next line on their CV. It is an opportunity for an experienced account leader who wants to make a meaningful contribution, lead from the front and play a pivotal role within an ambitious, highly professional agency.

What’s on Offer

An excellent salary and comprehensive benefits package, complemented by an attractive performance-related bonus and incentive structure.

Just as importantly, you will become part of a talented, collaborative and highly professional team, working within an ambitious agency environment where your experience, leadership and contribution will be valued.
