About the Opportunity

Executive Hurdles Recruitment is supporting a fast-growing, technology-focused marketing agency — working with some of the biggest names in global tech — with the recruitment of an experienced Account Director to join their team in Shepperton, Middlesex.

​

This is a senior, full-time onsite role offering genuine commercial and strategic ownership across a portfolio of major technology clients. The agency is ambitious, close-knit, and built on trust — offering the right candidate a real seat at the table in shaping where the business goes next.

​

Whether you are already operating at Account Director level or are a strong Senior Account Manager ready to make that step up, this is a role where your experience, commercial instinct, and initiative will genuinely matter from day one.

 

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Real seniority, real ownership: you will be the commercial and strategic lead across a portfolio of major global technology clients

  • Variety that keeps you sharp: demand generation, ABM, sales enablement, social, video, and live events — all under one remit

  • A seat at the table: direct contribution to agency growth, new business pitches, and how the team is shaped and run

  • A close-knit, hands-on culture: small team, big impact, no bureaucracy, and leadership that works alongside you rather than above you

  • Global stakeholders, high stakes, high reward: manage senior relationships across world-class technology organisations

  • Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) profit-share paid three times a year, with a tax-efficient bonus structure of up to £3,600 per annum tax-free

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Owning and developing senior client relationships as a trusted strategic adviser

  • Leading multi-channel campaign delivery across demand generation, ABM, sales enablement, social, video, and events

  • Identifying and converting account growth opportunities: upsell, cross-sell, and new programmes

  • Leading, mentoring, and developing Account Managers and Account Executives

  • Overseeing briefing, planning, and execution across all client workstreams

  • Ensuring strategic alignment between client objectives and agency output

  • Reviewing and shaping proposals for commercial accuracy and creative strength

  • Owning forecasting, profitability, and account performance

  • Leading high-level client presentations, reviews, and planning sessions

  • Managing senior stakeholder relationships across global technology organisations

  • Supporting agency leadership on new business development and pitching as required

  • Ensuring excellence in delivery across timelines, budgets, and quality standards

 

Required Skills & Experience

Essential:

  • Strong experience in B2B technology marketing, agency-side preferred

  • A deep understanding of demand generation and enterprise sales cycles

  • A proven track record of growing accounts commercially and strategically

  • Confidence managing senior client stakeholders within global technology organisations

  • Strong leadership capability, with experience managing small teams

  • Excellent communication, influencing, and presentation skills

  • Strong commercial awareness across estimation, margin, and profitability

  • The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

  • A proactive, growth-minded approach with strong personal initiative

Desirable:

  • Degree educated

  • Experience across ABM, sales enablement, social, video, and live events within a B2B agency setting

  • Exposure to new business pitching and active contribution to agency growth initiatives

 

Package and Benefits

  • Basic Salary: £55,000

  • OTE: £75,000 – £90,000

  • Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) profit-share, paid three times a year

  • Tax-efficient bonus structure: up to £3,600 per annum tax-free under current EOT allowance (where applicable)

  • 20 days holiday plus office closure between Christmas and New Year

  • Stakeholder pension

  • Unlimited use of paddleboards on the Thames (optional — but encouraged for strategic thinking)
