Account Director – Consumer Issues/CSR

Social purpose, CSR and sustainability are all extremely popular topics in communications 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 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 campaigns for their clients.

What’s nice about this agency is that it’s made up by sectored teams of 6-12 people (although there is the chance to work across sector teams), 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 one of the best agencies and somewhere to sky rocket your career to a new level.

The Role – Account Director

We are looking for an Account Director who is passionate about consumer and social issues, to work on a varied, meaty range of clients and projects.  The role is what we’d describe as “corp-sumer”, working on issues rich campaigns on a range of the agency’s flagship accounts.

• A confident team player with the ability to quickly build strong inter-team relationships, motivate and lead a bright team of talented, ambitious juniors
• A proactive self-starter with an eye for identifying new business opportunities for existing clients and appetite to get involved in growing the portfolio

In return:

• Competitive salary up to £55,000 DOE
• 28 days annual holiday for each full year worked plus three discretionary days between Christmas and New Year 

• Group life assurance scheme (4 x basic salary)
