Description
VML
At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.
YOUR ROLE IN A NUTSHELL
An Account Director (AD) is responsible for the supervision, growth, and development of the client engagement team. This includes providing training, oversight, motivations, and performance evaluations. The AD is responsible for developing and maintaining a close relationship with senior-level client contacts, establishing VML as leaders on the business, helping to achieve clients' marketing objectives, and managing income results for the agency.
The AD must be an energetic and active proponent of all client partnerships within the agency and lead any external cross-functional teams. They must have a strong focus on absolute understanding of the client's business (objectives, risks, and strategies). They are the core contact for all partner relationships and day-to-day client activities and must be able to articulate the vision and value of all agency attributes and points of differentiation. Financial responsibilities include monthly billing, forecasting, and updating clients on monthly billing and expenses. The AD must be prepared for a fast-paced environment and must be comfortable making decisions.
The AD must also think about mining for new, organic business opportunities with existing clients, by building relationships across the client's organisation. They must be team-oriented and possess excellent problem solving, interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
