We’re looking for a Business Development & Account Director to be part of the next chapter at Plus One.

At Plus One, we believe good client relationships go well beyond delivering a project.

They come from understanding the business, challenging the brief when needed, doing great work together and building enough trust to keep the relationship growing.

That’s what this role is about.

We’re looking for someone who can bring the right opportunities to Plus One and then take ownership of those relationships once they come through the door.

It’s a role across New Business, Account Leadership, Strategy and Creative and we’re looking for someone who enjoys being at the centre of all four.

On the Business Development side

We want someone who can spot the right brands and businesses, start conversations and turn those conversations into meaningful opportunities.

You’ll build relationships with founders, CMOs, brand leaders and marketing teams, understand what they’re trying to achieve and identify where Plus One can genuinely make a difference.

You’ll lead opportunities from the first conversation through to the brief, proposal, pitch and closure working closely with our strategy and creative teams to put the right thinking and people around the opportunity.

And importantly, we’re looking for someone who builds relationships, not just a pipeline.

Referrals, introductions, industry relationships and a strong understanding of where the market is going should all be part of how you build new business.

On the Account Director side

Once we win the business, the relationship doesn’t get handed over.

You own it.

You’ll be the bridge between the client, our strategy team and our creative teams making sure everyone understands the business challenge,



the opportunity and what success looks like.

You’ll build strong relationships with senior client stakeholders, lead conversations and presentations, bring clarity to briefs, manage expectations and make sure the relationship continues to move forward.

You’ll also look beyond the current project.

What else can we do for this client? Where can we add more value? Is there a bigger brand, communication or business challenge we should be solving together?

That ability to grow an account organically through good work and good relationships is a big part of this role.

And yes, you’ll need to be comfortable with the commercial side too scopes, commercials, negotiations and the realities of running a healthy agency client relationship.

Who are we looking for ?

Someone with 3–5 years of experience in advertising, branding, design, creative agencies, brand consultancies or a similar setting.

Someone who understands business as well as creativity.

Someone who can sit across the table from a CMO and talk about the business, sit with a strategy team and get into the problem, and sit with creatives and understand the work.

You should have a strong network, good commercial sense, a genuine interest in brands and culture, and the confidence to have senior conversations.

But more than anything, we’re looking for someone who cares about the relationship as much as the revenue.

At Plus One, we’re not looking for someone to simply generate leads or manage accounts.

We’re looking for someone who can build business, build brands and build long-term relationships.

If that sounds like you or someone you know let’s talk.
