Job Description:

Are you an ambitious agency professional looking for more than just managing client accounts? If you're currently working within a digital, creative or integrated marketing agency and want the opportunity to build something, influence growth and play a visible role in a business's success, this could be the perfect next step.

A growing marketing services agency is looking for an Account Director to drive growth across Thames Valley and London. This is not a traditional account management role focused on servicing an inherited portfolio. Instead, you'll take ownership of developing a key territory, building meaningful client relationships, winning new business and helping shape the future direction of an ambitious and entrepreneurial agency. Combining business development, strategic account management and commercial growth, this is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys creating opportunities and making a tangible impact.

Based remotely with travel across Thames Valley and London, this role offers a basic salary of up to £50,000 plus commission. Benefits include flexible remote working, pension, birthday leave, Christmas shutdown, travel expenses, clear progression opportunities and potential future equity opportunities for exceptional performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and develop a pipeline of prospective clients across Thames Valley and London.
• Generate new business opportunities through networking, referrals and relationship building.
• Lead client meetings, pitches and proposals to secure long-term retained partnerships.
• Develop trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and identify opportunities for account growth.
• Represent the agency at networking events and industry functions, building visibility across the region.
• Maintain CRM records, manage forecasting and work closely with internal teams to ensure a seamless client experience.

Skills & Experience

• Experience within a digital, creative, marketing or communications agency environment.
• Proven ability to generate new business, develop client relationships and contribute to revenue growth.
• Strong commercial awareness with the confidence to engage senior decision-makers.
• Experience managing client accounts whilst identifying opportunities for upselling and growth.
• Self-motivated, entrepreneurial and comfortable working autonomously.
• Experience using CRM systems such as HubSpot, Salesforce or similar.
