Digital Account Director

Clarity is a global digital marketing and communications agency, chosen by visionary companies worldwide to realize their ambitions.

We provide fearless consultancy, turning clients’ biggest challenges into opportunities through expert execution. And, we generate results that matter, with an insightful, creative and measured mindset.

We are a team of integrated marketing experts, working across four key areas of expertise:

• Insight, Analytics & Market Intelligence
• Strategic Communications & Public Affairs
• Creative Studio & Content Production
• Digital Experience & Performance Marketing

We’re looking for a Digital Account Director to join our US team, based in New York. This individual will lead complex, integrated work with a special emphasis on social media, influencer, and paid digital media. Like all New Yorkers, you will have your finger on the pulse of cultural trends and a deep knowledge of the global media who call NY home too.  (We are also open to considering candidates who wish to work from our Los Angeles office.) This is an incredible opportunity to grow into one of the key social /paid  media leadership roles within our agency.  

The Ideal Candidate

Digital Account Directors are day-to-day programmatic leaders for the agency’s existing accounts and prospective clients.

You have mastered the art of strategic planning, anticipating client needs, and building long-lasting relationships that deliver creative, impactful results.

You’re comfortable leading digital marketing and communication for both B2B and B2C clients, and know what it takes to build campaigns that connect. You also understand how all the elements of a successful integrated campaign come together.  

As a future agency leader, you understand both the high-level strategic planning and deeply technical nuances of executing digital marketing and social media programs. Your expertise includes platform experience with LinkedIn, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), X, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit.  And, you have a keen managerial acumen to be a role model and mentor for junior staff.

The Successful Candidate Will:

• Act as the day-to-day account lead to some of our largest and most exciting clients
• Build high-level, measurable, digital strategy, ensuring alignment with the analytics team to set and deliver against communication and commercial goals
• Be able to think and plan ahead, anticipating client needs while proactively recommending strategic, creative solutions
• Perform as a fearless, inclusive and positive leader for account teams, inspiring junior colleagues, mentoring and leading by example
• Exhibit a global, integrated mindset: build connections and work with colleagues throughout the agency to ensure seamless client service, effective team collaboration, and successful delivery of internal campaigns and initiatives
• Have a proven track record of leading and executing digital and social (paid and organic) campaigns 
• Support new business development and proactively seek opportunities to expand the agency’s scope with clients, through the addition of new services and/or geographies, or pursue opportunities with colleagues from across the business
• Keep abreast of developments and innovations in the paid digital and social media industries, making time to learn about new thinking or techniques that may be applied to our client work
• Work with a wide range of B2C and B2B brands, from household names to startups
• Have the ability to work successfully in a hybrid model – we love meeting up in person and working together twice a week, and also believe in remote work flexibility

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary and incredible benefits including healthcare, phone allowance, a flexible remote work policy, unlimited paid time off (and we mean it!) paid time off for volunteering, summer Fridays, generous paid family leave policies, and much more.

Clarity is committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all staff and for our clients. We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. We do not discriminate against staff or clients on the basis of age, disability, neurodiversity, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, color, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
