Account Director

Company: Bader Rutter
Location: Milwaukee
Posted on: September 17, 2020

Job Description:

As an Account Director helping us expand our B2B expertise into B2C accounts, you will be the Business Lead for 3 – 5 Business Teams. We want you to build and foster partnerships at the top level of our clients and potential clients (C-Suite, Directors). To do that, you must balance adroit personal communication with deep knowledge of client businesses and industries. You will be expected to identify, interpret and share your clients’ business, problems and opportunities with your teams. And then, sell and champion our best work ( and the best is all you want to sell—you’re certainly no hack ). Successful Account Directors are trusted client advisors who positively impact our clients’ business results and highly regarded servant leaders to all functions at BR.

Yes, you’ll likely have a degree and/or at least a dozen years of prior experience, but the real key is you’ll have insight, intelligence and enthusiasm for your job and your people. It is, after all, a people business and you are fundamentally, a good people.

What we hope you would bring:

Competence that generates confidence in everyone around you.

Insight into client needs and an ability to plan the approach and resources to meet them.

Facility with developing and delivering annual client income forecasts.

Eagerness to build relationships with external clients and internal teams.

Experience in developing Marketing Communications Plans with a broader business team.

Interest in ongoing client face time, at least once a month but preferably more. While travel is limited now, when it returns it could be at least 10% of your workdays.

Client trust that earns you access to key initiatives like strategic business planning meetings.

Expectations and understanding of great work and what it takes to develop and produce it consistently.

Coaching, mentoring, and guidance that ensures your teams are operating to the best of their abilities, on time and on strategy.

Curiosity about both your clients and your own industry that keeps you a continual student of the crafts.

Connect with us and let your next career step bring you to Bader Rutter.
