Account Director

Location:

Hybrid, on-site, not remote (Cheshire, CT-based)

Account Directors are strategic leaders who drive growth, guide teams, and ensure our work hits harder and goes further. You’re the one clients trust to bring clarity to chaos, focus to ambition, and results to vision.

You think like a strategist, act like a leader, and deliver like an operator. You know how to connect brand, business, and audience — not in theory, but in the practical, everyday realities of marketing execution. You’ve built integrated plans, led multi-channel campaigns, and know how to align creative brilliance with business outcomes.

We’re not looking for a “client pleaser.” We’re looking for a partner — someone who challenges, elevates, and pushes brands (and teams) to do their best work.

• Lead client relationships across key accounts, ensuring trust, alignment, and long-term growth
• Develop and drive marketing strategies and plans that connect brand ambition to measurable outcomes
• Guide internal teams to deliver exceptional creative and strategic work — on brief, on time, and on point
• Serve as the internal “client voice,” ensuring strategy and creative deliver on business objectives
• Build and mentor account teams, developing future leaders within the agency
• Collaborate closely with strategy, creative, and production to ensure seamless execution and communication
• Identify growth opportunities within accounts and help shape agency proposals and new business efforts

• 10+ years of experience in account leadership within a marketing, creative, or advertising agency
• Proven success leading integrated marketing campaigns and cross-disciplinary teams
• Experience leading a team, managing people, not just projects and accounts
• Deep understanding of brand strategy, marketing planning, and consumer behavior
• Strong business acumen — you can connect creative ideas to commercial results
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to lead at the executive level
• A proactive, steady, and strategic mindset — you anticipate problems before they appear
