Account Director – 12m FTC

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential marketing agency on a 12-month fixed-term contract for an Account Director based in London. This is a hands-on senior role where you'll own client relationships and delivery operations across brand campaigns, digital content, thought leadership, events, and marketing collateral.

You'll act as the primary point of contact for the client's marketing and communications team, translating business priorities into clear creative briefs and studio direction. Your responsibilities include chairing status meetings, monthly business reviews, and strategic planning sessions while managing expectations through competing priorities and regulated timelines.

On the delivery side, you'll lead end-to-end project management across digital, social, print, events, and long-form content. This means maintaining full pipeline visibility, managing SLA frameworks, capacity risks, and project status across all in-flight work. You'll consolidate client feedback before it reaches creative teams and build proactive project roadmaps in partnership with creative leads.

A critical aspect of this role involves managing compliance, brand, and legal sign-off processes. You'll ensure all projects requiring regulatory review are flagged, tracked, and closed out with clear audit trails.

Commercially, you'll own account-level budget management including forecasting, purchase orders, spend tracking, and monthly financial reporting. You'll source and coordinate external resources to match delivery capacity with project demand, flag commercial risks early, and identify opportunities to grow account revenue.

You'll integrate AI tools into project management workflows to improve planning efficiency, brief analysis, and status reporting, applying structured thinking to complex, multi-stakeholder delivery challenges.

What We're Looking For

• Senior account management experience within a creative agency, in-house studio, or content production environment, working directly with marketing leadership
• Confidence managing multiple stakeholders with competing priorities, including the ability to challenge and hold senior stakeholders accountable constructively
• Familiarity with regulated industries such as financial services or insurance, including compliance workflows, legal approval chains, and audit requirements
• Fluency managing high-volume, multi-channel creative portfolios with tight deadlines and competing briefs
• Hands-on experience with SLA frameworks, tiered briefing processes, and feedback management protocols
• Experience coordinating external delivery partners including media, transcreation, and production suppliers alongside internal creative teams
• Track record owning account-level budgets: purchase orders, spend reconciliation, and financial reporting to senior stakeholders
• Confidence identifying and communicating commercial risks early
• Working knowledge of AI tools that support planning, reporting, or brief analysis in a project management context
• A structured, adaptable approach to complex problem-solving with the ability to maintain focus when priorities shift
• Formal degrees are welcome but not required; equivalent experience through work, study, volunteering, or self-directed learning counts equally
