The Director of Account Services is equal parts strategic thinker and meticulous operator — someone who runs high-value client relationships with precision, leads the day-to-day without dropping a single ball, and thinks several moves ahead on behalf of every client we serve. This role carries real autonomy to shape how we serve our clients and the opportunity to influence how we grow as an agency. We are building for the future, and we want someone who wants to build with us.
Core Focus
Client Leadership & Strategy
Serve as the primary strategic partner for a portfolio of multi-million dollar accounts, leading with vision and earning trust at every level of the client organization
Drive integrated marketing strategies, planning sessions, and quarterly business reviews that connect client goals to measurable outcomes
Translate campaign performance and market trends into sharp insights and proactive recommendations — always a step ahead
Anticipate client needs, surface risks early, and bring solutions before problems have a chance to take root
Operational Excellence
Own every project from kickoff to delivery — managing timelines, budgets, briefs, and deliverables across multiple workstreams simultaneously
Write and supervise creative and media briefs that inspire great work; deliver reporting that tells a story, not just a spreadsheet
Keep billing, documentation, and account reporting accurate, timely, and client-ready at all times
Connect the client’s world to every internal discipline — creative, media, digital, and PR — with the clarity and context teams need to do their best work
Mentor and develop junior account staff, modeling the standards and culture that define ANDERSON’s account services team
Partner with agency leadership on resource planning, new business, and the agency’s continued growth
Success in this Role Looks Like
Clients Always in the Know: You set the pace, communicate proactively, and ensure every client feels informed, confident, and genuinely well-served, never wondering what’s happening.
Strategic, Defensible Work: Every recommendation is rooted in client goals, backed by data, and delivered with conviction.
Nothing Falls Through the Cracks: Projects run on time, on budget, and the agency earns the kind of operational trust that deepens long-term client relationships.
A Team That Grows: Junior staff develop under your guidance, leadership trusts your instincts, and clients stay (and grow) because of the partnership you’ve built.
