Start date? … we're ready when you are

ABOUT THE ROLE

You're a passionate, proven Account Director with a deep love for leading high-performing teams in the paid media space. With a minimum of 3 years experience managing a digital team—ideally within a fast-paced agency setting—you don't just
lead
paid media specialists… you live for helping them grow, stretch, and thrive.

You get a real buzz from watching your team perform at their peak. You know how to rally a group around bold revenue targets, turn client challenges into career-defining wins, and coach emerging talent into future leaders. You're as fluent in CPCs and ROAS as you are in one-on-ones and career development plans.

You're a growth driver—someone who can scale client accounts profitably, maintain retention through exceptional service and strategy, and consistently convert new opportunities into long-term client partnerships. Strategic thinking comes naturally to you, and you're just as comfortable forecasting department revenue as you are rolling up your sleeves to refine team processes or work through a client pitch.

You're values-aligned, culture-driven, and hungry to be part of a business that blends heart, hunger, and high-performance in equal measure.

BUT FIRST? YOU'LL PROBABLY WANNA KNOW ABOUT OUR COMPANY...

We're here to set the standard for what a digital marketing agency can be – where creativity meets integrity, and where high standards are worn like a badge of honour.

It's where people with humility, hunger and smarts come to do the best work of their careers. And it's here where we champion a workplace where the most underrated trait – effort – is everything.

We're building the agency for people who care deeply, work intentionally, and are here to grow, not coast. And we care deeply in return. We're a values-led workplace with enough business acumen to recognise that you can't run on values alone… and so we run on excellence, sustainability, and a team that hits KPIs like they matter – because they do.

Culture is the reward.

But performance is the requirement.

This is the place for people who don't know how to do things half-heartedly, because neither do we.

We're just Kind Geniuseswho are unapologetically tryhard.

Because tryhards? … well, they change the game.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Account Director plays a pivotal role in driving the growth, performance, and profitability of The Digital Picnic's paid media division. This isn't just a client-facing leadership role—it's a team-defining, standard-setting, culture-building position that directly shapes the experience of both our clients and our internal team.

Leading a team of paid media specialists, the Account Director is responsible for ensuring all campaigns are executed to the highest strategic and creative standards, while consistently hitting monthly revenue targets and maintaining high client retention. They are a strong commercial thinker who can interpret performance data, oversee cross-channel strategies, and work closely with department heads to forecast growth, innovate on service delivery, and scale intelligently.

At the core of this role is leadership. You'll coach, mentor, and manage a high-performing team—creating the conditions for people to do the best work of their careers. You'll provide regular feedback, lead with clarity and care, and ensure every direct report understands their role in delivering both client outcomes and agency-wide growth.

Business development is key—this person will collaborate with our Head of Digital & Group Digital Director to help shape proposals, close deals, and deepen existing client relationships.

And as a senior leader at TDP, the Account Director will actively live and promote our values, helping to foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

  • Lead and inspire a high-performing paid media team:
    provide strategic oversight, clear direction, and ongoing coaching to a team of Paid Media Specialists, ensuring delivery of outstanding campaign results across Meta and Google platforms.

  • Ensure departmental profitability and revenue growth:
    own monthly revenue targets across your portfolio, driving performance across the team to consistently meet [and exceed] revenue and margin goals.

  • Client relationship and account growth:
    cultivate strong, lasting relationships with clients through strategic leadership, proactive communication, and consistently high-quality campaign delivery.

  • Campaign quality and performance excellence:
    oversee the delivery of best-in-class paid advertising campaigns across Meta and Google, ensuring strategic alignment, performance optimisation, and clear reporting that drives measurable ROI.

  • Capacity planning and workflow management:
    own the planning, prioritisation and resource allocation for your team, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and at the high standard expected.

  • Senior-level paid ads expertise:
    bring depth of knowledge in paid advertising [particularly Meta and Google], guiding technical strategy across accounts and supporting team members on complex campaign builds and optimisations.

  • Leadership and talent development:
    champion a growth mindset within your team—investing in career development, performance management, and feedback frameworks that unlock potential and support long-term team retention.

  • Business development and upsell strategy:
    identify and pursue upsell opportunities within your client portfolio, working in collaboration with the Head of Digital & Group Digital Director to convert those opportunities into revenue.

  • Contribute to executive leadership:
    as a member of the broader management team, play an active role in shaping the future direction of the agency—including innovation in services, resourcing models, and team culture.

  • Financial oversight and reporting:
    monitor project profitability, team billable hours, and resource utilisation to ensure efficiency and ongoing alignment with commercial objectives.

WHY WORK WITH US

  • We design our workplace policies around diverse lived experiences, and subsequently have some of the most humanistic, encouraging and progressive policies.
  • Really hybrid approach to work, i.e x6 office days per month.
  • Paid Life Leave.
  • Paid birthday leave.
  • Generous yearly L&D budget.
  • We don't believe in artificial harmony, and instead foster a really accountable workplace culture where you're safe to own your mistakes, and
    encouraged
    to get comfortable with giving feedback as well as receiving it.
  • Our folks come to our workplace to do the best work of their careers, and the associated personal and professional growth is like nothing you can describe until you're here, surrounded by unapologetic tryhards, in a culture that celebrates reclaiming the "tryhard status" we all gave up on in year 8 out of necessity… and then went on to reclaim in adulthood.
