Account Director - top design and branding agency, S Manchester

Our client is a well established design and branding consultancy based in South Manchester. Following a period of continued growth, they are seeking an Account Director to join the team.  We're looking for someone who is probably established at Account Director level already but we are open to talking to Senior Account Managers who are on the way up.  What is essential for this role is a background in pedigree design and branding agencies which should include packaging design.  We're looking for someone who is passionate about all things brand related and who thrives in an environment working with top level FMCG clients.   We're keen to talk to Account Directors who can lead client relationships proactively and who can manage a small team.   The role is strategic and will involve lots of planning with senior client decision makers but you should also be an accomplished project director with the ability to make things happen on time and in budget.   This agency is growing and has a terrific reputation.  They're working remotely at the moment but it is likely there will be lots of flexible working post Covid.  Whilst the head office is South Manchester, it's very accessible by train so could be considered by Londoners (or others!) if they are happy to travel for occasional team meetings.  To find out more, please contact Fiona Christian ASAP.
