We are a collaborative mid-sized agency with an immediate opportunity for an Account Director to join our growing Consumer team!
The ever-growing Consumer team has an immediate opening for an Account Director to support a major CPG brand.
As Account Director, you will be the day-to-day team lead running an anchor CPG business for the Consumer practice with a lot of opportunity for growth and visibility. You'll be managing account team members and serving as a strategic, trusted client counselor. You'll oversee the success of client programs, manage complex projects, and lead and inspire team members. Most importantly, you'll work with a very talented, collaborative, and inspiring team that will have your back no matter what.
