Seize this incredible opportunity to champion "earned first" thinking for one of the world's leading FMCG brands. We're looking for a visionary Account Director to create culturally resonant, high-impact consumer PR campaigns that don't just get noticed, they become part of the zeitgeist.
You'll be the driving force behind the client relationship, leading day-to-day interactions and spearheading innovative strategies that generate explosive buzz and deliver measurable success. This role is fun, energetic and fast-paced, offering unparalleled chances to grow your expertise while working on one of the biggest brands in the world.
Beyond strategy, you'll cultivate an empowering and collaborative spirit within your team, where open communication and valuable feedback are the norm. You'll masterfully manage partnerships with third parties, and ensure every piece of work meets and exceeds the highest quality and client expectations.
Acting as a pivotal liaison, you'll perfectly align client objectives with our internal creative powerhouses. We need someone with a daring spirit – who embraces the new media landscape, challenges the status quo, and inspires clients to achieve bold and culturally relevant campaigns.
Our ambition is to attract the very best diverse talent to Ogilvy, and to be the employer of choice in the UK. We want everyone to feel welcome when they join us, and once they’re here, for them to want to stay with us, grow their career, and to feel they belong with us.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone who wants to work at Ogilvy. For us, diversity, equity and inclusion is integrated into everything that we do. We believe that for creativity to flourish, everything about how we work must have diversity at its core. Your race, colour, ethnic, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, have no bearing on our hiring decisions, but we encourage everyone to feel free to express their true selves in an environment we are consistently striving to make as inclusive as possible.
We aim to facilitate an accessible and positive application experience for all candidates. If you require any adjustments from us to support you through the process or expect to require any adjustments to working conditions to be able to best perform in the role, please let us know. We are happy to consider all reasonable adjustments.
If you live with a disability and you would like to take advantage of our offer of a guaranteed interview under the Disability Confident Scheme, please ensure you fill out our voluntary Equal Opportunities Questionnaire when applying.
