Role

GenAI Snr Account Director

Location: Remote working until further notice

About the role

Awareness of GenAI technology has exploded in the last 12 months, with enterprise brands universally interested in how to adopt and leverage its capabilities. We are looking for a Senior Account Director experienced in overseeing work executed with GenAI at the forefront.

Your mission

• Turn client needs into smart, strategic plans built on what our platform can deliver;
• Spot high-impact use cases hiding in client challenges, and find clever ways to solve them with the tools we’ve got;
• Craft aspirational use cases that align with where the product is headed next;
• Translate the product roadmap into inspiration to help GenAI-literate clients imagine what’s just over the horizon;
• Act as the connection between what clients want and what the product can do, both now and in the near future;
• Shape creatively led, product-driven solutions that make clients say, “Wait, we can do that?!”;
• Turn client goals into tight creative briefs that spark great work from the creative production team;
• Bridge the gap between Creative and Product to ensure capabilities are aligned and growing in unison.

About you

• You have worked directly with clients or stakeholders to shape strategic plans, ideally in a creative tech, SaaS, or agency environment;
• You have translated fuzzy, ambitious ideas into concrete use cases, roadmaps, or briefs, and loved the challenge.
• You have worked cross-functionally between product, creative, and commercial teams.
• You are comfortable talking about product roadmaps, and even more comfortable using them to spark ideas and guide direction;
• You know how to ask the right questions to uncover what clients really need — not just what they say they want.
• You’ve written or helped shape creative briefs that led to standout work;
• Ideally, you have worked with or around AI, creative tools, or emerging tech, and you\'re excited by what’s possible;
