Director of Accounts - Portland, United States - Watson Creative
Description
ABOUT USWatson is a research-driven creative studio that specializes in helping challenger brands achieve strategic growth. We provide strategic planning, branding, creative and campaign 360 stewardship to a diverse range of industries, including cultural institutions, consumer brands and progressive nonprofits. Although we are primarily remote, the agency is based in Portland, Oregon, with offices in San Francisco and Bend, Oregon. We're designers, writers, parents, mentors, musicians, marketers, volunteers, programmers, filmmakers, MBA's, and dreamers. For us, design is a passion, a sport, and an obsession.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE
The Director of Accounts leads teams and manages client relationships. You will supervise Account Managers and Project Managers, while also handling a few accounts yourself. Collaborate closely with the agency's executive team to craft account strategies, explore new business prospects, and ensure successful project delivery. Specifically for this role, we seek a candidate with substantial experience at agencies, ideally one of those experiences similar in size and services to ours.
As mentioned above, we will expect you to still manage a few accounts. As a senior level client partner, you're acting as a "Fractional CMO" for their business. Understanding client needs, defining solutions, advocating for the client and brand during the creative process are all part of your responsibility.
