Senior Social Account Director

We’re looking for an outstanding Social Account Director or Senior Social Account Director, who really gets social, to lead on some of our biggest client accounts.

The kind of person who thrives on building relationships, is a strong team leader, critical thinker and commercially astute.

Someone who can drive and inspire our best work for our clients by bringing people and ideas together across our teams.

You’ll be responsible for the overall success of your assigned accounts, balancing client needs with agency profitability.

We’re a Social‑first agency helping global brands, household names, and high‑growth scale‑ups accelerate their business growth.

Having won Best Large Social Agency in the UK (3 years in a row!) and experiencing continued growth, we’re now looking to take on our next team member to enhance our Client Services team!

Our service offering includes Social, Creative, Influencer, Paid and Commerce.

We’re a team of over 70 across Bath, London, New York and Miami, with ambitious plans.

As an Account Director or Senior Account Director specialised in Social, you’ll take charge of the account direction of some of our biggest BAU organic social clients, alongside the wider team. You’ll also form part of new business pitch teams, constructing commercials and writing proposals.

You’ll lead a small team of account managers and project managers in managing core client relationships from a social strategy and client success perspective. You’ll develop our client services approach and bring our internal departments together to create full‑service social strategies.

This is a director‑level role – so we’ll look to you not just to lead the work, but to help lead the direction of the Client Services department. You’ll help grow the team, raise the bar for our clients, shape our process and thinking, and be someone others look to.
