About the Role
The Account Director is a client management team role responsible for managing day-to-day account operations, building trusted
relationships, and ensuring the agency delivers work that meets both brand and business objectives. As a trusted advisor to
clients, the agency team, and cross-functional partners, this individual immerses themselves in the brand, developing a deep
understanding of brand strategy and translating it into recommendations that are aligned with the brand's vision and grounded in
the agency's point of view.
This individual serves as a key connector between client priorities and the work produced across creative, medical, digital, and
analytics disciplines, ensuring alignment, quality, and follow-through on execution. The Account Director partners closely with
senior account leadership on complex or executive-level client relationships, while independently owning the brand foundation and
day-to-day account management.

fresh thinking to every client interaction.
What You'll Do

successful project outcomes.

leadership on senior-level client relationships.
- Review creative work to ensure it is on-strategy and meets client expectations, offering clear, constructive recommendations to
the team.
- Stay ahead of competitive trends, industry shifts, and client research to deliver forward-thinking points of view to clients.

financial targets and milestones.
- Foster strong collaboration, communication, and interpersonal connection within the team and across departments.
- Contribute to new business efforts, including attending and participating in pitches.
- Proactively grow and retain talent at the agency by managing and mentoring team members.
What You'll Need
- 8+ years of experience in advertising, with HCP advertising and digital marketing experience preferred.
- Experienced presenter, able to command a room with both small and large groups.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience developing and delivering strategic and tactical plans.
- Strong client engagement skills, including proactive communication, meeting management, presentation development and delivery,
and responsiveness to questions and issues.
- Solid financial management skills, including experience with project budgets, financial reporting (weekly, monthly, quarterly),
and annual SOWs.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and departments.
What Exceptional Looks Like
At Ogilvy Health, excellence is not defined solely by flawless execution—it is measured by the value we create for our clients,
our teams, and our business. For an Account Director, that means work that not only meets expectations but consistently earns the
client's trust and confidence.
- Operates as a proactive partner to the client, anticipating needs and bringing recommendations rather than waiting to be asked.

standards for craft. They sweat the details while keeping the bigger picture in view.
