The Role

We are looking for an experienced Group Account Director or equivalent level to support a content studio team on an entertainment client, from the moment briefs are received, all the way through to delivery.

This role positions you as a client partner, demonstrating your leadership, strategic direction, accountability, and vision for their business.

As part of the day-to-day leadership team, you’ll be working alongside the Operations Director and ECD and representing T&P/WPP to the client.

We’re looking for someone interested in growth – both in securing new relationships and opportunities for the agency, and also being a strong partner to clients in helping develop their subscription business - through strong one-to-one marketing and brand comms and activation.

The team is based out of the client’s office in NYC, and this role is an average of 4 days a week onsite (1 of those days is often at T&P HQ).

Responsibilities:

• Build strong relationships with multiple senior client leaders through a demonstration of industry knowledge and of the application to business challenges.

• Build a strong relationship and partnership with the Operations Director and ECD - and be supportive of one another.

• Actively manage the day-to-day client-facing team and dive into project details with the broader working team, bringing best practices to the work.

• Know and understand the client mandatories and regulations which must be adhered to in response to each brief.

• Responsible for meeting business KPIs.

• Understand and drive the strategic vision.

• Serve as the key contact for partner agency leads and external client partners (e.g., PR, Media, etc.).

• Work closely with all disciplines (Strategy, Creative, Media, Production etc.) to foster excellence in all deliverables.

• Champion the use of AI where appropriate, particularly in cutting-edge creative.

• Protect the creative integrity of ideas or solutions from internal or external factors, from conception through to delivery.

Skills and Experience:

• Must have substantial previous agency experience at appropriate level

• Strong social-first experience.

• Experience working with high-volume, complex businesses with multiple business lines and a multi-agency environment

• Ideally experience working on a client with a subscription layer (e.g., loyalty programs, entertainment platforms, direct marketing).

• Understanding of the entertainment industry and experience working with talent is a plus.

• Ability to manage, develop, motivate and mentor junior team members.

• Proven ability in growth, expanding client accounts and securing new opportunities

• Understanding of measurement frameworks and their integration into the broader marketing ecosystem.

• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage and collaborate with diverse stakeholders.

• Interest in AI and technology developments, and an understanding of how to integrate its use into creative work
