Account Director

This is not a traditional Account Director role.
You'll lead social-first accounts for some of the most culturally resonant brands in the game: iconic entertainment properties with generational fanbases on one hand, and category-defining consumer tech on the other.
The work spans always-on social, cultural activations, and campaign moments, all at the intersection of culture, community, and innovation. These brands expect a partner who can move at the speed of social while thinking several steps ahead.
You are equal parts business lead, strategic partner, and operator. You know how to build trust with senior clients, translate ambition into clear plans, and guide cross-functional teams to deliver work that shows up in culture, not just on a content calendar.
You are comfortable in the gray. You bring structure where it's needed, push when it matters, and stay close enough to the work to keep the quality bar high. You are a hands-on leader.
Location: Minneapolis, Los Angeles, or New York. For this particular role, East coast preferred, but open to location
