This is an internal-facing role that is responsible for managing the creative workflow of one of our largest accounts, specifically supporting the creative leads on their specific pillars of the business. Think of this like a Chief of Staff for the creative directors.  

While the main responsibility would be working directly with creatives, this role would also be responsible for communicating out updates and priorities to the rest of the team, working closely with the account management group to ensure everyone is working from the same information and expectations. 

Specifically, this role is responsible for: 

Helping orchestrate our day-to-day process, as it relates to creative development and creative director’s time. This includes proactive communication, active participation, and constant problem solving and anticipating conflicts, including: 

Prioritizing meetings + projects 

Communicating shifts 

Daily updates to CD and account team on changes 

Long term planning to juggle workload,upcoming conflicts, travel, and vacation days 

Daily meetings and hot-lists with the Creative Director(s) to manage workflow; what’s coming up, what’s happened, what needs to shift, etc. 

Actively managing their calendar/schedules, and helping them balance daily workflow accordingly, including: 

Proactively providing updates to the account team for weekly status meetings, to report on workflow and schedule for week ahead 

Scheduling check-ins with creative teams for each project CD is responsible for, and communicating to the team when meetings have happened (or haven’t, and why) 

Communicating creative resourcing needs, in tandem with the Account Director, to Creative Resource Manager 

Maintaining creative team status by project with Creative Resource Manager 

Inputing to account team on project timelines, based on CD availability and bandwidth

Clear communication in person, over the phone, via email or text

Must be resourceful and have the desire and ability to solve problems of any size or magnitude

Ability to properly manage time and priorities

Approachable and empathetic

 

We are working in a hybrid manner. The right person would need to come into the office 2-3 days a week. We are in downtown San Francisco.

This role is not responsible for project managing specific projects. This responsibility falls to the account team, and the account team will communicate needs directly to CD + Creative Workflow Manager at the same time.  

If you think you have the skills we are looking for, we look forward to hearing from you.

Account Director

We are looking for two Account Directors to join our outstanding Account Management Department - one in San Francisco and one in New York.  Although we would consider someone who wanted to work remotely if they had the right experience.

As an Account Director we expect that you are no longer managing projects but leading accounts or large pieces of accounts.  Your job is more than helping make the trains run well and on time.  It’s now about helping others make sure this happens.  And, more importantly, it’s about guiding the process and decisions on where to lay new track.  It’s a role that requires equal parts of quality control and leadership.

For us a great Account Director does the following:

1) Clearly defines the client’s business problem and gets people in the Agency excited to work on it.

2) Provides their own point-of-view that is considerate of both the Client’s and Agency’s viewpoints, but not necessarily beholden to either one of them.

3) Serves the needs of the individuals on their team and on the account.

Although you are the senior person managing a team of people, this is not permission to act above the other people working on the account (especially the account managers).  Instead, you need to work to serve their needs, individual by individual.  This means making time for them – even treating their time as more important than your own. This can’t be emphasized enough.  The directors that people like working with the most seem to be the ones most generous and open with their time.

4.) Constantly set (and if necessary, change) the conditions on the account to allow people to do their best work. 

We currently have two Account Director openings. One role would ideally be based out of our San Francisco office and the other would be based out of our New York office.

Additionally, we are hoping for:

Someone comfortable working across multiple workstreams and productions, always in progress. With multiple client teams.

The candidate will need to partner closely with the other Account Directors on the business to manage an account team and always-changing assignments across TV, Digital, Social, Print, and Experiential.

Ability to travel may be required.  

If you have worked as an Account Director at an advertising agency for at least 2 years and understand how to help a client get to remarkable work, we look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.
