Salary: Up to £65,000 per annum

Reports to: Founding Partner

The Opportunity

This is a unique chance to join a fast-scaling social media startup at a foundational level. Backed by a major, established media company, we offer the security and resources of a large group with the speed, culture, and "blank canvas" appeal of a boutique agency.

We are looking for a strategic, social-first Account Director to act as the right-hand person to our Founding Partner. You will be instrumental in delivering world-class work for our current clients while helping to shape the agency’s future through new business and operational growth.

The Role

As Account Director, you will take ownership of client relationships and team leadership. You aren't just managing projects; you are a consultant to our clients and a builder of our business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership: Act as the primary lead for a portfolio of accounts, ensuring social strategies are innovative, measurable, and aligned with client business goals.
• Founder Support: Work directly with the Founding Partner to scale the agency, streamline internal processes, and mentor junior staff.
• Growth & New Business: Identify opportunities within the existing client base and play a lead role in pitching for new business.
• Social Expertise: Stay at the forefront of platform trends (TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) to ensure our output is culturally relevant and technically optimised.
• Financial Oversight: Manage account profitability, budgeting, and forecasting.

The Person

We are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit who isn't afraid to get stuck in.

• Experience: Proven track record as a Senior Account Manager or Account Director within a social, creative, or integrated agency.
• Social-First Mindset: You understand that social is more than just "posting"; you understand community, creators, and the nuances of platform algorithms.
• Commercial Acumen: Comfortable leading pitches and managing high-level client stakeholders.
• Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a flat structure and enjoy working closely with creative and production teams.
• Proximity: Able to commute to our North London office near Highbury & Islington for collaborative days.

Why Join Us?

• Direct Impact: You will have a seat at the table and a genuine say in how the agency grows.
• Stability & Scale: Enjoy the benefits of being backed by a top-tier media organisation.
• Flexible Working: We value output over hours. We offer a flexible hybrid pattern to suit your lifestyle.
• Environment: Work in a vibrant part of North London alongside a talented, charismatic, and supportive team.
