The Role

To achieve their growth plans they’re looking to bring in a strong Account Director. They want someone who will drive demand and cause resource issues. They know that this is 3 or 4 key new client relationships and understand that takes time. They’re not looking for short term projects or small businesses. They don’t actively look to pitch for new business, they aren’t interested in taking part in beauty parades. Success and commission will be based on Net Profit, they are looking for someone to achieve c£250k in Year 1 which they would anticipate would come from just 2 or 3 new relationships.

You

You’ll be a talented, energetic doer, who is pragmatic, commercially driven, with the gravitas to talk to big business about their problems.  They’re open to the right person working part-time hours.

What’s in it for you

• A strong salary and commission package, they anticipate on-target commission to be c£20k in Year 1 and c£30k Year 2. They are open to hearing on how you would like to structure commission too.
• An industry leading benefits package (happy to discuss on application)
• Opportunity to play a key role in the agencies future
