About Accuracast
Accuracast is a performance-driven digital marketing agency focused on helping ambitious brands grow internationally. We partner with marketing leaders to deliver measurable outcomes through paid media, SEO/GEO, analytics, and data-led experimentation—combining strategic thinking with excellent execution.
The Role
As Client Account Director, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of client accounts, acting as the senior day-to-day relationship lead and the person accountable for ensuring we consistently deliver great work and measurable results.
This role is a blend of account leadership and delivery oversight: the main purpose of this role is to help clients grow, through strong client understanding and opportunity identification. You’ll shape account strategy with client stakeholders, manage expectations, spot risks early, and coordinate internal delivery teams to exceed expectations and grow the agency by growing our clients' businesses. We aim to *surprise* and *delight* our clients regulary!
You will not be expected to “do the channel work” day-to-day, but you will be expected to understand performance marketing deeply, challenge the work constructively, and lead the client relationship with confidence. You will be expected to get involved in new business pitches.
