Account Director (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

Within a consulting unit, you are responsible for a budget as a whole: economically, strategically, operationally and humanly. You are the first point of contact for clients when it comes to budget, direction or the next big question, and at the same time the person who supports the agency team so that good work can be done. You report directly to the management, so you not only think about the budget, but also for the agency: where is your customer growing, where new skills are needed, where risks arise before they become visible.

For you, leadership doesn’t just mean delegating. You lead your team professionally and disciplinarily, actively develop your colleagues, but just as naturally you are hands-on in customer appointments, briefings or day-to-day business. You provide orientation and actively help where it counts.

Requirements

• This is what you bring with you
• Several years of experience in account management at an agency, including leadership or leadership-like responsibility
• A feel for budget economics: You think in terms of contribution margins, utilization and growth potential, not just in projects
• Experience in leading and developing teams, you provide orientation without taking up space and without saying goodbye to day-to-day business
• Conceptual strength, you provide conceptual direction to internal teams rather than just passing along briefings
• The ability to quickly and independently familiarize yourself with complex, new topics
• Confidence in dealing with decision-makers and contacts on the customer side, even when it comes to difficult topics, escalations or budget discussions
• A strategic view that thinks beyond the current campaign and recognizes potential for new services, channels or budget growth
• Experience in pitches, including for existing customers, when it comes to new projects or budget expansions, from positioning to presentation to the customer

A strong sense of prioritization, you recognize which topic needs your personal attention and which is in good hands within the team. Interest in new tools, AI-supported workflows and how they make teams and budgets more efficient

Benefits

This is what you get

Real corporate responsibility for visible budgets, direct communication with management and short decision-making processes. An environment in which AI and new tools are not discussed but used, plus a learning and training budget for conferences, training and tools. Hybrid working, flexible times, a modern, climate-friendly office in Oberursel with its own bar. Attractive remuneration, end-of-year bonus, company pension plan with up to 50% employer contribution, capital formation benefits, 28 days of vacation and equipment that thinks for you: laptop and company cell phone. Plus team events that you really look forward to.
