Who we are looking for:
VML/Passport Brand Designs is seeking a Freelance Account Director who will be responsible for overseeing the campaign and client engagement and team leadership, across all related processes, disciplines and launches for a major North American B2C/CPG focused client. Omni-channel campaign and marketing expertise (focus on digital and social, with some CRM) is a MUST. The right candidates will act as a primary point of contact with client leadership, internal stakeholders and serve as the “connective tissue” between internal production resources and external connections. This role will serve as part Client Partner, part Project Manager for this client’s key stakeholders and internal creative and strategy teams.
The ideal candidate will have experience leading in and thriving in an agile and collaborative work environment. You will have worked on complex delivery projects/campaigns, cpg product launches and be inclusive of all project elements and phases from inception to completion while remaining cool under pressure. You are familiar with the complexities and regulations within all elements of marketing content and all elements of a launch or update to a brand. You consider yourself a strong and willing teammate — someone who can manage scopes of work, complex technical roll outs and omnichannel workstreams across different interagency teams and agency partners with ease. You have your finger on the pulse on the latest trends, with a focus on the B2C CPG sector. You are a consensus builder and a hands on do-er, able to convey strategic insights and offer consultation to internal and external stakeholders.
