We’re looking for a Strategic Account Director to take ownership of key client relationships and drive growth within our agency. You’ll sit at the intersection of client leadership, commercial performance, and strategic guidance, ensuring we deliver exceptional digital experiences and marketing performance that make a tangible difference to our clients’ businesses.

As part of a 40-strong team, you’ll be close to the work and highly visible, balancing hands-on involvement with senior-level oversight. You’ll partner with our in-house Insight & Planning, Creative, Performance, Technology, and Delivery teams, ensuring solutions are sector-relevant, insight-driven, and commercially impactful.
