Group Account Director
vor 1 Monat
We believe that creativity is the most powerful asset in business today.
Our ability to create fresh, original, disruptive, transformative ideas comes from a deep understanding of human behaviour. It’s what we bring to every business problem.
We call it HumanKind thinking. It’s not about customers or consumers; we start with people and their behaviour. And we use all our intelligence, design thinking, digital innovation, and customer experience capabilities to shape that thinking into behaviour and business-changing solutions.
Leo Burnett is one of Australia’s leading creative agencies. As part of a global network, we have an unusual mix of boutique creativity with a strong multinational backing. Based in Pyrmont, our full-service offering includes brand, digital, direct, social, shopper and retail marketing.
Your role as Group Account Director is one of leadership and example, as you take a senior management position within the agency by inspiring your team to provide commercial and creative solutions for our clients. You are responsible for leading client relationships and strategic business recommendations across a portfolio of accounts. And you will manage profitability on your assigned clients within the agency as well as proactively seeking to build new business opportunities through cross selling and new client acquisition.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Maintaining the overall client relationships and understanding their business (and competitors) inside out
- Leading strategic recommendations and direction for your clients
- Evaluating creative work and providing constructive feedback to the teams
- Leading client meetings and presenting work in collaboration with the wider team.
- Managing the client’s budgets effectively, supporting agency revenue and growth.
- Actively seeking to grow existing business and mining for new business opportunities.
- Ensuring the timely development and execution of all plans, campaigns and projects for your clients
- Continually pushing for the best work and elevating the level of craft produced by the teams.
- Leading the team on new business prospects/opportunities
- Creating a team environment in which the agency’s best talent want to work.
The person we’re looking for is/has:
- 8+ years agency experience in account management
- World class client management experience
- Expert understanding of strategic marketing
- An understanding of FMCG and/or the alcohol category (would be advantageous)
- Excellent understanding of agency processes and costing structures
- Proven experience delivering culturally relevant campaigns in digital and social
- Excellent leadership, motivation, mentoring and people management skills
- Exceptional ability to drive financial management of client P&Ls
What you can expect from us:
Make the best work of your career: We believe in the power of creativity to transform human behaviour. Each one of us is held accountable for contributing to ideas of the highest standard in the world. And we’re recognized for it. More recently we ranked #1 Agency of the Year by Campaign Brief’s The Work and #3 Regional Agency of the Decade by Cannes Lions.
Work with the best people: If you’ve ever met a Burnetter you’ll know we stand apart. Our agency is filled with smart, kind people who are passionate about the work and who genuinely care about each other.
Have the best experience: We have industry-leading flexibility and a culture we’re famous for. Our structure and processes are uncomplicated because we focus on output. And there are endless opportunities for growth in both Leo Burnett and Publicis Groupe more broadly with access to global opportunities and L&D programs.
