We’re delighted to be recruiting for an experienced Account Director on behalf of a well-established international marketing organisation. This exciting role offers the opportunity to lead high-profile, multi-market campaigns, working with a diverse range of stakeholders while driving measurable growth and brand impact.

Happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck into international marketing programmes that span the marketing mix? Enjoy the thought of working alongside a small yet accomplished and passionate global-facing team? Then this is the role for you.

No two days are ever alike; one minute you are deep in strategy mode, planning the next big campaign, and the next you’re jumping into a creative brainstorm, troubleshooting a last‑minute brief, preparing analytics and reports or hopping on a call with a team halfway across the world.

This is the kind of job that embraces new ideas and longstanding expertise and feels more like an adventure than a routine - with each day bringing a fresh challenge, an unexpected win, or a trip across the world. If you are just as happy to get stuck into the day-to-day administrative detail and managing budgets as you are thinking about long-term strategy, and can work at pace, we would love to hear from you.
