Description

Fact & Fiction is hiring an Account Director to join our expanding account team.

You are part of the heartbeat behind the day-to-day success of the agency. You’ve proven your ability to lead, oversee, manage and implement client strategy, as well as manage budgets, productions, and deadlines with utmost organization. You can motivate a team, collaborate with clients, and always find a way to advocate what’s best for the business and the work. You enjoy and are driven to build productive and positive working relationships with clients because you understand that it enables your clients to see you as the valued business partner they’ve come to depend on. (And because you know it helps to ease the process of gracefully working through issues when you inevitably have conflicting priorities.) You’re a tight collaborator with your fellow strategist and can talk the talk (almost) as easily as they can. You’ve also earned the reputation for being an account person who the creative team proactively calls on because you help make the work better. And most importantly, you take incredible pride in the collective impact we make for our clients.

Fact & Fiction is a strategically led creative content shop that builds brands people care about and makes content worth paying attention to.
