Account Director – FMCG/CSR/Social Purpose

Social purpose, CSR and sustainability are all extremely popular right now but there are only a handful of agencies that really do it well. If you have interest and experience in this area then we have a super role for you!

The Agency

This globally networked communications agency is part of one of the world’s largest communication groups and one of the most famous names in the industry, constantly setting new standards with its work. With a diverse mix of talent across communications, strategy, content and publishing, they excel in providing award winning, insight led and integrated campaigns for their clients.

What’s nice about this agency is that there are teams of 6-12 people with specific sector expertise, meaning that each team is like a mini agency in itself. As a result you get the best of both worlds: a close knit, friendly team vibe but with all the benefits and resources of a large agency.

To top it off, you have an inclusive culture with access to world-class training and an unbeatable benefits package (more details on this below) – this really is the place to sky rocket your career to a new level.

The Role – Account Director – Consumer/FMCG and CSR/Social Purpose

We’re looking for someone with solid experience in CSR and the UK innovation sector who is adept at telling CSR and company stories to business and consumer audiences. Experience encompassing sustainability, gender and diversity, and innovation is also ideal.
