At Hopeful Monsters we believe everything a brand does communicates, not just its advertising. And we’re on the hunt for an Account Director who’s a gun across all things social, and can lead campaigns to generate brilliant results for our even more brilliant clients.

The role

You’ll run social-first work across a roster of brands that want to challenge their category, not follow it. You’ll own the client relationships, steer the work from strategy to screen, and keep a sharp team focused on ideas that speak to a real cultural tension.

What you’ll do

- Be the person clients call when they want a straight answer, not a status update.
- Turn strategy into always-on and campaign social that earns attention instead of renting it.
- Run accounts like a business. Scopes, budgets, timelines, margin. The unglamorous stuff that makes the good stuff possible.
- Lead and grow a team of content, community and account talent, and leave them better than you found them.
- Connect social to the bigger picture (earned, creative, partnerships) so ideas can live anywhere, not just in a feed.
- Measure what matters. Engagement is a means, never the end.

You’re probably

- 8+ years in social, with real time agency-side leading clients and teams.
- Fluent in the platforms,



but more interested in people than algorithms.
- Commercially sharp. You can link a post to a business result.
- Calm in a crisis, curious in a brief, honest in the room.
- Someone who’s curious and knows the difference between a trend and a shift.
