About Account Director - Marketing Agency

  Column Five is a B2B-focused strategic-led creative agency that helps ambitious brands find and tell their best stories to drive real results.

  We’re looking to hire an Account Director who is able to sell to and grow existing client accounts. Healthy, trusting client relationships + sound strategic guidance are the ingredients to winning meaningful work that will keep our clients successful, our teams fulfilled, and our agency financially healthy.

  Account Directors are responsible for selling and supporting our work by establishing and growing our engagements with current clients. This is done through being curious about the client’s brand and business strategy, and positioning our team as trusted experts who can help refine the strategy over time and execute the right work to achieve our clients’ goals. By digging deeper to understand what each client truly wants and needs, our Account Directors can effectively collaborate with our Strategy and Creative humans to determine recommended solutions and pricing for the work.

  This position reports to our VP of Client Services who oversees our Accounts team. 

  At Column Five, you’ll work with a vibrant team of people in a fast-paced environment built on collaboration, camaraderie, freedom, and flexibility. Each day you’ll find surprising challenges that stretch your skills and expand your creativity. As a distributed team, we value responsibility and autonomy, so we’ve designed our tools and processes to help you do your best work—the way you work best. Most importantly, you’ll get the chance to grow with talented people who make you feel loved, respected, and welcomed. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, we can make work a place of belonging and a source of fulfillment and joy—together.
