You will serve as a trusted strategic partner to clients ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises to high-growth challenger brands, guiding them across research and business strategy, brand-to-demand integration, digital experience, martech and data, and market activation. The Account Director will specifically work on one of MX's clients where it is a full-funnel, brand-to-demand agency-of-record relationship with a fast growing company repositioning from a category-specific narrative into broader category leadership. The role is representative of the caliber of accounts our Account Directors run.

Manage account teams and collaborate across agency disciplines to deliver exceptional client experiences and strategic outcomes. Represent MX with executive presence in client meetings, business reviews, and pitches.

Proven ability to design and drive full-funnel strategies that connect marketing activity to pipeline, revenue, and business outcomes. Experience with complex B2B technology categories (cybersecurity, SaaS, identity, or similar) and enterprise buying journeys preferred. Strong understanding of B2B martech, ABM, media, CRM/MAP, analytics, and attribution platforms; able to guide teams and translate data into strategy. Experience managing enterprise accounts and leading cross-functional teams across strategy, creative, media, and data. Strategic, consultative leader with a track record of proactive client guidance and executive-level influence. Strong presentation and communication skills with the ability to engage C-suite and senior stakeholders. Bachelor’s degree in marketing, advertising, communications, or related field.
