• Act as the senior client partner for globally recognised brands
• Hands-on role with real ownership and visibility
• UK and international travel

The Company

This ambitious boutique brand experience agency is continuing to grow at pace, supported by a strong reputation for flawless delivery and trusted client partnerships. Working with an impressive portfolio of global technology and telecoms brands, they deliver a broad range of live experiences — from executive-level meetings and UK conferences to European roadshows, international incentive programmes and large-scale exhibition activations.

The team is highly collaborative and delivery-focused, bringing creativity, production and logistics together to create impactful experiences that consistently exceed client expectations.

The Role

As the agency continues to expand its client portfolio, they are now looking for an Account Director to take ownership of a major client account and ensure the successful delivery of multiple event programmes. This role sits at the heart of the agency, balancing senior client management with hands-on oversight of delivery across all project stages. Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as the primary point of contact for senior client stakeholders
• Taking full ownership of delivery across live, digital and hybrid events
• Leading internal project teams and ensuring resources are aligned effectively
• Overseeing logistics, production, content and technical delivery across projects
• Managing timelines, budgets and delivery standards to ensure consistent excellence
• Identifying risks early and proactively resolving delivery challenges
• Supporting account growth through strong relationships and consistent delivery
• Representing the agency on-site at key UK and international events

The Candidate

To succeed in this Account Director role, you will have a proven background delivering complex, multi-stream events within an agency environment, combined with strong senior-level client management experience. The successful Account Director will be confident owning delivery from brief through to on-site execution, while managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously.

A solid understanding of end-to-end event delivery is essential, with experience across logistics, technical production, content or exhibition builds highly advantageous. You will be commercially aware, comfortable managing budgets and forecasting, and confident guiding teams to deliver high-quality outcomes under pressure.

This role is ideal for an Account Director who is hands-on, delivery-led and client-focused — someone who enjoys being deeply involved in the detail, building trusted relationships, and ensuring every event is delivered to the highest standard. Experience with Procim would be beneficial but is not essential.
