Account Director - Freelance

Responsibilities

• Great Work
• Lead day-to-day account management across a portfolio of B2B clients, owning the client relationship, program delivery, and agency output to a consistently high standard
• Translate client briefs and business objectives into executable plans working across creative, strategy, and production teams to ensure the work is both ambitious and achievable
• Build and maintain account operating rhythms: clear communication cadences, well-run status meetings, proactive risk management, and documentation that keeps every stakeholder aligned
• Serve as a credible, confident creative and strategic partner to your clients, not just managing expectations, but actively shaping them
• Oversee the full program lifecycle from brief to post-event, maintaining quality and momentum across every phase
• On accounts where a Senior Account Director leads, take genuine ownership of defined workstreams and junior client relationships operating with the autonomy and accountability of a lead, not a support
• Growing the Business
• Identify and pursue organic growth opportunities within your accounts building the kind of trusted relationships where clients bring you their next challenge before they brief anyone else
• Manage account financials with rigour: budgets, scope, profitability, and the commercial conversations that keep projects healthy and margins protected
• Develop a working knowledge of each client's business landscape, competitive environment, and internal stakeholder dynamics and use that knowledge to add value beyond the brief
• Contribute to new business pitches as a senior voice, bringing account intelligence, presentation confidence, and a point of view on what great work looks like for this client type
• Support the development of case studies and award submissions that demonstrate the impact and quality of the work
• Growing People
• Manage, coach, and develop SAMs and AMs on your accounts providing clear direction, honest feedback, and the kind of developmental investment that accelerates their growth
• Run efficient, purposeful team meetings where priorities are clear, actions are owned, and no one leaves uncertain about what happens next
• Model the standard of client service and creative partnership you expect from the team

Requirements

• You are commercially aware without being transactional, creatively fluent without overstepping, and operationally strong without letting process become the point. You understand that the AD level is where the work starts to feel like leadership and you are ready for what that means.
• This is the role where you transition from excellent executor to genuine account leader. You are ready for that step, and you understand what it asks of you.
