About Octagon Professional Recruiting | Octagon Financial Consulting | Octagon Executive Search

What’s a Account Director at Octagon look like? Good question. The first thing to say is it isn’t your traditional ‘big agency suit’. Sure, you’ll be part of a great team, work on blue chip brands and deliver award winning work, but we are a small group and everyone is expected (and empowered) to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in at all levels. In truth, you’re a bit of a spark plug. You’re the sort of person who relishes a challenge, is super organised, and can manage the day to day activities of our key accounts. You don’t fit the mould, and are dynamic in your approach to client service. You question things too, not to be difficult, but to understand if there’s a better way. There’s no set pattern to how we do things here, we want you to bring your own flavour. Specifically, you will be responsible to: Drive creation of APAC strategy, including review of consumer passions, analysis of market objects, and recommendations for potential new partnerships for key verticals (focus on football, golf & music) Ideate and plan full-year global sponsorship activation & programming for key tennis property Generate forward-thinking, creative ideas to improve sponsorship-led programs and develop differentiated use of existing partnerships Cultivate and manage relationships with current clients independently Manage multiple projects on a daily basis, with a proactive approach Recognise new business leads & drive business building opportunities Independently lead team, with clear assignment of tasks and deadlines Create and inspire relationships with partner agencies to drive regional interconnected programming Develop a deep understanding of local market teams needs & objectives Qualifications To be a successful candidate, you will be/have: 6 - 9 years’ experience in an agency environment Excellent oral & written communication Proven track record in experiential, sponsorship activation or content production backgrounds will be highly valued Proven track record in team management with quantitative results Experience working with creative, PR and media agencies At minimum a deep understanding and passion for concepts which earn attention is a must! A passion and interest in the power of sports and/or entertainment What’s in it for you? Lots of things really. Firstly, a great team. We’re proud of who we are, and sure you’ll come to agree. Secondly, great clients. We work with Mastercard, Johnson & Johnson, Standard Chartered Bank, Manulife, Tennis Australia & Cisco to name a few. Thirdly is the opportunity to join a vibrant, passionate and attention grabbing business that you can help to shape and advance. What’s not to like? Your time with Octagon will be spent thinking and dreaming, listening and learning, doodling and inspiring. In fact, the more you feel like you’re getting from the role, the better for everyone. Let’s not sugar coat it, you’ll be bloody busy, but you’re the kinda person who wouldn't have it any other way. So, there you have it. Are you our next Account Director? Let’s talk.
