Create experiences people want to be part of.

We’re looking for an Account Director to join the Experiences team at Mongoose. Helping us create memorable moments that connect brands with the people who matter to them.

This is a senior role combining great client service, creative thinking, commercial understanding and excellent delivery.

You’ll work between our senior leadership and account management teams, taking ownership of key client relationships and overseeing multiple campaigns and live experiences. You’ll also support and develop colleagues, collaborate with specialists from across the agency and identify opportunities to grow our client partnerships.

If you understand what it takes to deliver brilliant live experiences and enjoy bringing people together to turn ideas into reality, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of accounts from brief through to delivery, making sure the thinking is considered, the execution is excellent and projects deliver against both client and commercial objectives.

You’ll:

• Lead and support the account management team across client service, finance, field operations and day-to-day delivery.

• Build trusted relationships with clients, developing a clear understanding of their objectives and helping them get the best from Mongoose.

• Oversee multiple campaigns, activations and events, ensuring work is delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard.

• Collaborate with our creative, strategy, social and wider integrated teams to turn client briefs into compelling activation plans.

• Contribute ideas and industry insight to pitches, proposals and client projects.

• Take commercial responsibility across your accounts, including budget management, tracking, reconciliation and profitability.

• Identify opportunities to develop existing client relationships and contribute to new business initiatives.

• Support the development of colleagues, providing clear direction, constructive feedback and an environment in which people can do their best work.

• Contribute to how we work as an agency, sharing ideas and helping improve our processes and culture.

• Support live event delivery, which may occasionally involve working outside standard office hours, including some evenings and weekends.

What we’re looking for

You’ll have extensive experience delivering experiential campaigns, activations or live events, ideally within an agency environment, and be comfortable operating at Account Director level. You’ll know how to build trusted client relationships, lead and develop teams, manage budgets and profitability, and keep multiple projects moving at pace. You’ll be a clear communicator and collaborative thinker, comfortable working across creative, strategy, social, digital and communications teams to turn briefs into brilliant work. An interest in brand experience, sport, entertainment and culture is important, while experience across PR, social or integrated campaigns would be a bonus.
