Account Director
Amalgam is a creative agency built on a single idea: complexity is an advantage. We partner with brands in transition, find what makes them distinctive, and turn that difference into something impossible to ignore.
Our clients arrive with ideas that sound unreasonable on paper. Flying boats. All electric muscle cars. Categories that do not exist yet. We protect what makes them different and turn it into market share.
We work as one compact, senior team across strategy, brand design, web, content, media, and analytics without handoffs and gaps. Everyone here does the work.
Role
You own the client relationship and the health of the business inside it. That means understanding the client's category well enough to argue about it, translating business problems into work worth doing, and giving creative teams a brief they can build from.
What you will do
- Lead day to day relationships with senior client stakeholders and become the person they call first.
- Turn business problems into clear briefs, working with strategy and creative leads.
- Present and defend work. Explain the thinking behind it in the client's language.
- Own scope, revenue forecasting, and organic growth on your accounts.
- Identify where a client's business is heading and bring them the work before they ask for it.
- Keep engagements profitable and keep the team informed about why decisions get made.
What you bring
- Enterprise experience in account leadership, with time at an agency working across brand strategy, traditional design, web, social, video production, and media.
- A record of growing accounts, not just maintaining them.
- The ability to disagree with a client productively.
- Experience with brands in transition: launches, repositioning, and expansions.
- Writing and presentation skills strong enough that clients quote you back to their own executives.
