We are looking for a highly qualified Account Director to take on the role of Client Lead — the single point of accountability for solving a client's B2B business problems, whatever form they take. The AD is not a specialist in one narrow service; s/he is expected to understand a client's business, sales, and marketing objectives holistically, and to bring together the right mix of strategy, creative, and execution capabilities from across Dentsu B2B to solve it — from concept to delivery.
The AD will own P&L responsibility for their account group, lead the professional development of their team, and build senior relationships with client stakeholders across business, sales, and marketing functions. The AD is expected to operate as a true consultant and partner to the client — proactively identifying problems, shaping solutions, and expanding the scope of the relationship over time.
