Brand & Packaging | Food & Drink Focus | London

We're partnering with one of London's most respected strategic brand and packaging agencies to find an outstanding Account Director to lead senior client relationships and drive the creative and commercial success of ambitious food, drink and lifestyle brands.

This is a role for someone who sets the tone — a trusted partner to clients, a champion of brave, impactful design, and a leader who inspires both teams and growth.

The Role

As Account Director, you'll sit at the heart of the agency's client leadership. You'll own key partnerships, shape strategy, and ensure the work not only looks beautiful — but delivers real commercial and cultural impact.

You'll work closely with Strategy and Creative teams, mentor talented client services professionals, and help strengthen the agency's position as a go-to partner for purpose-driven brands.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading and growing senior client relationships

  • Owning the commercial agenda across your accounts (revenue, P&L, forecasting)

  • Championing creative excellence with strong strategic thinking

  • Driving organic growth and supporting new business

  • Mentoring and developing SAMs and AMs

  • Contributing to a values-led, B Corp-certified culture

What Were Looking For

  • Proven leadership experience in a brand or design consultancy

  • Strong background in food & drink or FMCG packaging

  • Commercially confident with budgets and client development

  • Gravitas with senior stakeholders and founders

  • A natural mentor who thrives in a collaborative studio environment

  • Passion for design and belief in creativity as a force for business change

Why This Role?

  • Work with some of the most ambitious and purposeful brands in food, drink and lifestyle

  • Join a tight-knit, values-driven B Corp agency

  • Make a genuine impact on clients, culture and creative output

The Details

  • Full-time, permanent

  • London studio – 4 days in / 1 day WFH

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off

  • Two-week Christmas/New Year studio closure (gifted days)

  • Pension, health cover, cycle-to-work & season ticket loan

If you're a senior Account Director ready to lead braver work with brilliant people, we'd love to hear from you.
