We need an experienced Account Director with solid agency credentials delivering brand campaigns and social first creative.


We are looking for a highly personable, pro-active personality who is passionate about creative and understands that solutions are sometimes found in the least obvious places.


This role will be central to the success of the In House Agency's creative projects, ensuring everyone is clear on their roles and responsibilities at all times. The right candidate will 'lead from the middle' – bringing calm, authoritative discipline to the creative process and commanding respect from colleagues and internal customers at all levels. They will manage the expectations and inputs of internal customers, while coordinating multi-disciplined teams to ensure the highest possible standard of work is achieved smartly and efficiently.

Working closely with the Creative Director and the Operations Lead, they will develop positive working relationships both internally and externally. It’s a rare opportunity to help define the culture & ways of working of the new IHA.

You will be a highly organised problem solver with the ability to work without supervision and the person to whom the team gravitates for clarity on timings, ways of working and the requirements of the brief. You will have the gravitas and sensitivity to be able to have difficult conversations with senior individuals, as well as the ability to enforce and expect accountability from your team.


Assume commercial responsibility for project delivery. Maintain an in-depth knowledge of how we’re tracking against time and money. Monitor/manage the budget so that it is commensurate with the objectives & opportunity. Bring awareness at all times of what’s in and out of scope and flag any potential over-burn before it occurs. Strive to increase efficiency, through smarter ways of working.

Collaborate with the in-house agency team and its internal customers. You will be able maintain quality whilst helping the team to deliver to short deadlines and fast turn-round times. You will build strong collaborative relationships with the rest of the IHA team maintaining the focus on creative excellence and work that works well. You’ll also develop positive relationships with marketing and other roles that brief the IHA, helping them to help the IHA generate quality work.
