Senior Account Director - Maternity Cover - August for 9 months (min) £52k pro rata

Award winning agency that's always on everyone's lips is looking for a hot shot Senior Account Director to cover maternity from August for 9 months (min).

Fantastic chance to join a thriving, happy team of talented PRs who love what they do and love their clients.  Their ethos is to only work with brands they are passionate about and clients who respect their craft - it's gotten them far to date and with a 60-strong team now in play, there is no signs of slowing down. 

I'm looking for someone who is able to wear a few different hats: firstly despite the lofty level of SAD, you will still know a good story when it's put forward AND you'll know what to do with it; equally you will be comfortable visiting clients to discuss proposals and then delivering that information to your AD for you all to get together and formulate a plan (which you will then pitch).  All of this will be done with support from Directors but it's a great chance to become fully ensconced with team and their clients - while it's a maternity cover, the agency is keen for the candidate to feel every bit a part of their team as possible. 

You will need to have eight to 12 years consumer pr experience - and ideally you will have been in a perm position in the last five years simply because this role is more than being flown in to deliver on a project.  You will need first class media skills - you'll know the media landscape still and understand what journalists want.  Lastly you'll be an absolute team player and happy to get your hands dirty.
