Account Director – Automotive

Account Director Job – Automotive

What’s the opportunity?

We are looking for an Account Director who will lead the development of a new automotive client whose business we have recently won. Specifically your focus will be to drive ongoing projects across the client’s business – relevant sector experience and knowledge is therefore vital.

As well as delivering great creative work through the team, the key to success in this role is to unlock new opportunities and relationships to grow our business with the client and deliver target gross profit. You will work closely with, and report to, the Client Services Director.

Who might you be?

As the digital economy goes mainstream and customer experience is king, it is vital you have experience of developing and delivering cross channel communications.

You must be able to operate successfully at a senior strategic level. It is therefore essential that you are a problem solver who is confident of leading our team to find engaging propositions and innovative solutions to our clients’ challenges using insight. You will develop and sell-in proposals for comms to engage customers at every touchpoint, deliver against their objectives, create measurable ROI and, of course, make them famous within their business!

You may have worked client side but you are most likely to have worked in an integrated or below the line agency. You will be a natural relationship and business developer and be able to demonstrate your personal ability to drive substantial profitable growth in strategically important accounts in your previous or current role – so this role is primarily one of developing our reach and seeking new tranches of work within the client’s business.

The right candidate will have experience of managing and motivating a team. We are looking for someone who is passionate, ambitious, engaging and absolutely can-do, someone who brings the ‘agency factor’ and who our client would find inspiring and convincing.
