THE ROLE

As Account Director, you'll lead the charge for one of our largest portfolios, driving relationship and revenue growth across a diverse ecosystem of household brands.. Internally, you'll lead our cross-functional team to deliver innovative work. You'll juggle competing priorities, from pricing to resourcing, as you grow your revenue and profitability. Externally, you'll lead our clients to success they dreamed of. You'll intuit their needs and inspire them with what's possible.

We're looking for a savvy business leader: someone who understands an agency P&L and how we grow, and equally understands a client CMO's business struggles and how they grow. We need a socially-native thinker, who understands how to use social media to drive key client outcomes.
