Role overview
We're on the hunt for our next superstar Account Director to join our lively team in Great Portland Street, London (and at home), working across a number of exciting clients.
Our team is a friendly mix of Strategists, Creatives, Account Managers, Account Executives, Media Planners and Buyers - all with one goal: creating work that wins people's time on social media, in the most exciting ways possible.
As an Account Director at Cubaka, you will:
A self-starter: Have an entrepreneurial attitude to work, enjoy running your own projects, finding solutions to challenges when they crop up and pulling in the right people to create the best result.

Team & Time Management Pro: Manage the delivery of social media campaigns and content plans, from start to finish, working with colleagues from across the business to deliver on time, on budget and to client expectations.
A stickler for budget tracking: The sexy part of any Account Managers role, I think you'll agree. You'll pull together a scope of work, presenting a budget proposal, and keeping a track of the accounts finances as the work rolls out.
Social Media Expert: Knowledgeable in all things social and digital marketing. You know your Instagram Stories from your TikTok trending sounds, can rattle off examples of social best practice and have a point of view on the latest campaigns.
5+ Years experience in a client-facing agency role managing social and digital campaigns for well-known brands, and already at Senior Account Manager or Account Director level.
Previous experience of line managing a client services team and supporting the development of more junior colleagues.
