Savvy Account Director Wanted for Global Influencer Agency’s NYC Takeover
Salary range: $115,000 to $160,000 per year
Are You the Missing Piece?
You’ve scaled campaigns, wrangled talent, pitched to C-suites, and somehow kept your inbox from bursting into flames. Now you’re ready to build something bigger. This is your shot to join the founding U.S. team of a global social media powerhouse—one that’s already shaken up Europe, China, and the Middle East, and now, it’s setting up shop in NYC.
They’ve got renowned beauty, sports, entertainment, and tech brands onboard, plus a growing crew of socially creative geniuses. Now what they need is you: a sharp, confident Account Director to lead clients, grow business, and manage a hungry team across categories like beauty, fashion, tech, and luxury – the list goes on.
You’re not just good at managing clients—you’re obsessed with delivering, be it RFP ideation with Business Development Managers, or making sure your client has what they need the day before they expect it. You think fast, move faster, and know the right influencer can drive more than just impressions; they can move products. Perks include great benefits and PTO + working in the Meatpacking District 3 days a week and getting a free Soho House membership!
What’s it going to take to score an interview?
- 5+ years in an agency or brand-side role managing high-profile, multi-platform campaigns—bonus points for deep experience in beauty or fashion.
- A serious passion for influencer and performance marketing—and you don’t need a playbook because you already wrote one.
- Fluency in client services and campaign execution—briefs, creative pitches, influencer outreach, reporting, and everything in between.
- Proven ability to grow and manage accounts. RFPs? You love ‘em. You’ve worked directly with biz dev leads to win big.
- Strong tools game: You know how to juggle campaigns, track performance, and keep comms clean—whether it’s Monday, Asana, Google Slides, or your own secret sauce.
- Experience managing a team (even better if you’ve had up to 9 direct reports), and a rep for being the mentor everyone fights to report to.
- Cross-time-zone collaboration chops—you’ve worked with teams abroad and know how to keep projects humming across continents.
- An eye for detail that won’t quit, a client-facing presence that commands trust, and the ability to never drop the ball—flaky doesn’t live here.
You should take this meeting because …
This is your moment to shape the future of a global agency’s U.S. footprint. You’ll work on campaigns for top-tier brands in beauty, tech, sports, and entertainment, report directly to leadership, and own client relationships from pitch to post-campaign wrap. With a hybrid setup in one of NYC’s most coveted workspaces, benefits that punch above their weight (24 PTO days, your birthday off, health + dental + vision, 401k, and yes, that shiny Soho House membership), and a culture that values autonomy, creativity, and killer execution—this role puts you in the room and at the head of the table. NYC is calling. Are you ready to pick up? Get in touch with us today!
