Group Account Director

London | Hybrid | £65,000 – £70,000

Some agencies follow the same playbook. Others exist to challenge it. This business belongs firmly in the second camp. Over the past few years, they’ve grown at pace, building a reputation as one of the most progressive, diverse, and ambitious players in the industry. Their teams combine creativity with rigour, helping global brands rethink how they show up in culture and connect with consumers.

One of their flagship international clients, a household name in entertainment and play, has expanded its scope significantly, creating the need for a senior leader to step in and guide the next phase of the partnership. This isn’t a back-seat role. It’s about being the visible lead for the client across both the UK and wider European markets, steering strategy, and ensuring seamless delivery across multiple channels.

You’ll be hands-on with planning while also setting the agenda for client engagement. Leading a team of four, you’ll provide clarity, structure, and direction, ensuring that every campaign, whether focused on a blockbuster product launch or broader brand-building work, lands with impact. This is a fast-moving, high-profile account that demands both strong relationship management and the ability to enforce process where needed.

To thrive, you’ll already be operating at Account Director level (ideally with two years’ experience in role), confident across digital-first media planning but equally comfortable managing integrated, cross-channel campaigns. You’ll bring proven leadership skills, the ability to mentor and inspire, and the resilience to partner with senior, demanding stakeholders while keeping your team motivated and on track.

In return, you’ll be joining an agency that balances entrepreneurial energy with the resources of a global network. The culture is collaborative, inclusive, and ambitious, with benefits designed to support both your professional and personal wellbeing, from flexible leave and early finish Fridays to comprehensive health cover, wellbeing programmes, and generous parental policies.

If you’re ready to take on a pivotal leadership role with one of the world’s most recognised consumer brands, shaping strategy across the UK and Europe, we’d love to connect.
