Director Zig Developer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Company description
Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) is a world-famous creative agency that makes jaw-dropping, thumb-stopping, eye-opening work for brands across the globe. Founded in London in 1982, we now have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mumbai, Singapore, and Shanghai. Our first ad for Levi's showed a black sheep travelling in the opposite direction to a flock of white ones. That's where we got our logo and our guiding philosophy: when the world zigs, zag. Why? Because it's easy to zig, to go with the grain. It feels safe. It feels like the sensible thing to do. But the greater risk is failing to stand out. We believe in the power of difference to make a difference.
Our goal is a simple one: make the best work in the world. That's where you come in. We need rebels, dreamers, thinkers, mathematicians, makers, artists, visionaries, doers, observers, the different and the unreasonable. We need Black Sheep. People who want to make the hearts flutter and minds do flips, who can change businesses and culture. People who want to make a difference, come here for something different.

Overview
We are currently seeking a full-time Account Director - Social First to join our team.
The Account Director leads the relationship, the work, and the vision across key client businesses, with a deep focus on social-first brand building. You'll guide integrated teams to create ideas engineered for culture, built for platforms, and optimized for performance. You're equal parts strategist, relationship architect, and business driver - shaping the work while shaping the partnership.
The account person is the only person in the agency who touches every
aspect of a project in some way: from the relationship with the client, to the relationship with the team, from strategy to finance to creative to production. It is ultimately the role of an account person at any level to ensure that a project meets the client and agency's ambitions to generate great, effective creative work, on time and on budget, and to motivate the team along the way.

• Fluent in all phases of the creative process from strategy, through creative to
  production and bring their expertise to bear at each stage, foreseeing issues before
  they arise and heading them off. Taking pressure off the team by tackling the difficult
  conversations and know when to escalate for support is also part of their role.
• Own the client relationship as the primary strategic partner, ensuring trust, clarity, and forward momentum across all workstreams.
• Drive the social-first brand strategy, helping clients understand how culture, platforms, and audience behavior shape the creative.
• Partner with Creative, Strategy, and Production to deliver work that is native to TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and emerging platforms - not retrofitted from traditional campaigns.
• Oversee day-to-day account operations, ensuring teams are aligned, resourced, and delivering against timelines and KPIs.
• Translate business challenges into clear briefs, actionable insights, and platform-specific creative opportunities.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in account management within advertising, social, or digital agencies.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and run multiple projects at once
  with minimal oversight
