Job description
If you’re looking to make a real impact on account management and enjoy being more than just another cog in the machine, please read on.
At Fiducial Communications, we’re changing the way financial services talk to the world and giving it a much-needed shot of innovation. Global asset managers, banks and private wealth institutions trust us to turn their stories into screen magic. From videos to interactive infographics, we do it. If you want to help C-suite marketers and financial pros look brilliant, you’re in the right place.
We’re looking for a Client Account Director who is not only passionate about client success and creative excellence, but also deeply curious about the industries we work with and the transformative potential of AI in business.
We know that while technical skills are essential, it’s your attitude and curiosity that truly drives innovation, whether it’s streamlining processes, personalising client experiences, or unlocking new ways for financial services to tell their stories. You thrive on exploring emerging technologies, eagerly experiment with new tools, and are excited by the prospect of shaping how AI can be implemented to deliver measurable results for clients. You’re someone who constantly asks, “How can AI make this better?”.
Our team are broadcasters, animators, designers, journalists, all using and experimenting with the latest AI tech. We’ve even won awards for our innovative use of AI. We’re obsessed with quality, keeping clients delighted and are relentless about making content that actually gets watched, remembered, and - dare we say - enjoyed.
If you love learning, embrace change, and see every project as an opportunity to push boundaries with innovative solutions, you’ll fit right in. We're committed to building a culture of innovation, respect, and continuous improvement. If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
