Job Description

A long-established creative marketing agency is expanding its senior leadership team and hiring a Head of Accounts to oversee a large portfolio of high-value clients and guide the agency’s account organization. This role reports directly to the COO — who previously held this position — creating a clear and proven path for long-term advancement.
This individual will manage Directors and cross-functional teams overseeing $10M+ in revenue. You’ll be responsible for the overall health, financial performance, and strategic direction of several enterprise-level accounts at once, while also driving new-client acquisition and expansion opportunities.
You will partner directly with the Executive team to guide operational decisions, elevate client satisfaction, forecast revenue, and strengthen the agency’s ability to scale. The organization is highly collaborative, promotes from within, and is growing — this position is open due to upward mobility at the leadership level and increased client demand.
Ideal candidates come from creative/digital agency environments (not brand-side) and excel at storytelling, strategic decision-making, high-level selling, and building deep client relationships. Team size varies by account but typically ranges from 20–30 across disciplines.

We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
