As a team...

TMW is a leading integrated creative and communications agency, based across London and Bristol. Proudly wired differently, we believe that the best ideas work everywhere. We combine standout creativity with end-to-end connectivity to create ideas that move people in every channel.

As an Account Director...

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Account Director with strong client services skills, who is keen to join a friendly, fun and dynamic agency. Someone who is fundamentally passionate about what they do, delivers a high standard of work and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll be comfortable liaising with various stakeholders across the business and leading the delivery of communications via a range of channels including TV, Radio, and social.

You need to have the right character, diligence and can-do approach to build strong stakeholder relationships. You will need to be able to juggle financial responsibilities, management of a SAM and also be confident in leading large projects independently and be responsive to internal requests and challenging timelines.

We are looking for experience in the following skills...

• Brief writing– ability to write engaging and informative briefs that clearly communicate the activity taking place and the desired response.

• Budget Management – proven experience in tightly managing the wider account finances as well as individual project budgets to ensure successful, profitable, and efficient delivery. Running reconciliations and having regular check ins to ensure projects remain on track.

• Project Scoping – a proven track record in scoping complex TTL campaigns, ensuring creation of accurate resource plans, project schedules and price quotes, with clarity about what is and isn’t included in the delivery and risk mitigation plans.

• Production Knowledge – a thorough understanding of planning/strategy, creative, design and the production process are key. From a static social post to a TV ad. From OOH to a printed poster and everything in between.

• An eye for detail - always ensuring an excellent standard of delivery by having a clear, considered opinion on the quality of work, providing actionable and structured feedback and making sure activity reflects brand strategy, tone of voice and is legally compliant.

• Media Understanding - Experience interpreting complex media plans and the subsequent delivery of appropriate assets to media agencies and/or owners. You will understand the implications of different channels, formats and technologies

• Proactive and positive approach– be creatively innovative and identify new opportunities to deliver compelling marketing executions whilst thinking strategically and operationally.

• Strong communication skills - you’ll be a calm, clear and confident communicator and hold the specific delivery knowledge. You’ll also be an active listener and problem-solver with the ability to build trusted relationships with internal teams in OFL and TMW, as well as other third-party partners.

• Highest level of organisational skills with the ability to prioritise (and clearly communicate around) multiple tasks from different stakeholders and operate within a fast-paced, competitive and time-sensitive environment.

• Experience working on integrated campaigns across multiple channels. Retail experience or similar style account experience is beneficial, but not essential.

What we'll give you...

A thriving career with the chance to learn from passionate, talented colleagues and mentors. Exciting and varied client work with as much opportunity as you can handle. And a hugely sociable team to get to know.

Our Total Rewards consist of a competitive basic salary, annual performance bonus, opportunities to acquire equity and a wide range of health and wellbeing benefits. These include perks such as:

• Up to 30 days of leave to spend each year plus 3 extra volunteering days per year for charitable work of choice.

• Family-friendly and flexible working policies.

• A range of generous Parental Leave offerings.

• Attractive pension plan with financial wellbeing support and resources.

• Private healthcare insurance plan and Mental Wellbeing support.

• Employee Assistance Programme, Career Development and Counselling.

Please note that with all of our roles, you should expect some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities.

As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

Application Deadline: Ongoing
