Account Director

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Account Director with a solid background in agency life and strong knowledge of the OTC Healthcare sector. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a truly integrated account, working across a suite of household-name brands within an established, collaborative team

You’re likely to be an established Account Director, with a proven track record of leading full-service agency accounts. But we’re happy to hear from experienced Senior Account Managers who feel they’re ready to take a step up. Either way, you’ll bring insight, curiosity, and leadership to help deliver creative, strategically-sound work.

You’ll be a strong communicator, a natural storyteller, and a trusted partner to Clients and colleagues. You’ll thrive on the success of the team and nurturing new talent will be second nature to you. With a strong awareness of current cultural and healthcare trends, you’ll help shape brand success in a fast-moving, ever-evolving category.

You’ll show a determination to blend creativity with regulatory adherence and Client Services excellence will already be a part of your vocabulary.
