Help wanted: Rockstar Account Directors

by Robin Grant in News Google+

Since our recent birthday we’re entering our third year of success. We Are Social is going great guns and now we’re looking for more Account Directors to join the team.

To help take us to our 3rd, 4th & 5th birthdays and beyond we need outstanding ADs to join the team in London. You’ll need a strong online PR or digital agency background with a real passion for social media. You also need to be bright, hold exceptional client management skills and have a whole host of large consumer clients under your wing. With a true understanding of social media, you don’t just talk the talk, but walk the walk. At We Are Social we don’t just discuss how to put social media to work for a brand, we make it happen. You’ll need to show us that you can do that too.

As an Account Director you’ll be part of our senior management team, leading client groups and internal teams to deliver across our core service areas: consultancy, research and insight and engagement. You’ll need to be able to show us top notch leadership skills, creative campaign experience combined with a sharp commercial acumen. Lots of our client work involves working in collaboration with other agencies, whether they be Media, Creative, Digital or PR, so some experience of that is also important.

We won’t take any of this for granted and our interviews will be rigorous. We won’t just be looking for you to sparkle, we’ll be asking you to present against a brief and come up with some creative ideas, you’ll talk to some of the senior team and together we’ll make sure that you are fully clued up on the way it works here.

In return what will you get? You will be part of a hugely successful company with the opportunity to work with amazing clients. Your skills will be refined with the help of the senior team and you’ll have the chance to inspire the people working into you. What could be better than working with an award winning team of people advancing the state of the art and having lots of fun along the way? And whilst we’re sure that you’ll want to be doing this just for the love by the time you’ve met us, we’ll be paying you a competitive salary too.

Does this sound like you? If you think it does, drop us an email in confidence with your CV and a little bit of narrative on why you think you’re right for We Are Social (and we’re right for you). Don’t forget to include links to your own social media presences.

  • Lola

    Hi guys! I'm guessing you're open to international applicants?

  • http://wearesocial.net Robin Grant

    Hi Lola – of course we are, on the assumption that they're happy to relocate to London and that their English is of a high enough standard (and they meet the other criteria outlined above).

  • Simon

    hi there. would you consider applicants on a freelance/consultancy basis? (No NI contribs! NO holiday! No sick pay!)

    I'm an experienced media account director but looking for a long term assignment of between 10-15 days per month on a freelance contract.

    thanks!

    Hi Simon – in this instance, we're pretty sure we need full-time members of the team to fill the roles we have in mind. But it still would be great to find out more about you for future reference – drop us an email with your details.

    it def sounds interesting… is it home based or would the person filling up the position will work from your offices?

  • http://wearesocial.net Robin Grant

    Hi Yuri – the person would need to be working from our office most of the time.

  • http://twitter.com/urbanvox urbanvox

    ummmm… it does sound interesting…
    (spent most of my professional area working within the Marketing / Events industry and did quite a bit of PR while in these roles… The commute everyday would be a killer tho… :( )
    Hell will send my CV anyways… :)
