Agency: BBDO Job Function: Account Management and Growth Job Subfunction: Account Management Job Description: BBDO Chicago is seeking a strategically minded, highly accomplished Business Director to lead a key piece of business within the global aerospace industry. This is an opportunity to work within a sophisticated, technically complex category where strategic thinking, intellectual curiosity, and exceptional client leadership are essential. We're looking for someone who can navigate complex business challenges, translate nuanced information into clear, compelling communications, and build trusted relationships with senior-level clients. The ideal candidate brings a strong business perspective, sound judgment, and the confidence to lead meaningful client conversations. You'll serve as a strategic partner, providing thoughtful counsel, challenging perspectives when appropriate, and guiding the development of integrated marketing initiatives across a diverse range of channels. Success in this role requires someone who is equally comfortable thinking strategically, managing the details, and taking full ownership of the client relationship. What You'll Do Strategic Business & Client Leadership ● Serve as the primary business lead and trusted strategic advisor, developing a deep understanding of the client's business, objectives, industry dynamics, and competitive landscape. ● Take full ownership of the client relationship, establishing credibility, building trust, and cultivating strong, lasting partnerships with key stakeholders. ● Bring a thoughtful, informed point of view to client discussions, confidently navigating complex conversations and providing strategic counsel. ● Anticipate business challenges, identify opportunities, and proactively recommend solutions aligned with the client's broader objectives. ● Translate complex, technical subject matter into clear, actionable marketing strategies and communications. ● Lead with confidence and sound judgment, balancing client priorities, creative ambition, and business considerations. Integrated Marketing & Creative Leadership ● Lead integrated marketing initiatives across digital, social, and traditional channels, ensuring a cohesive strategic approach. ● Oversee a diverse range of deliverables, including programmatic digital advertising, email newsletters, LinkedIn and social content, industry publications, and print advertising. ● Partner closely with Strategy and Creative teams to develop thoughtful, compelling work grounded in business objectives and audience insights. ● Provide clear, actionable direction to internal teams, connecting complex client needs with creative and strategic opportunities. ● Champion strong creative ideas while ensuring the work remains relevant, effective, and aligned with client expectations. ● Lead client presentations and strategic discussions, communicating recommendations with clarity, confidence, and conviction. Business Management & Collaboration ● Drive the day-to-day leadership of the business with exceptional organization, attention to detail, and accountability. ● Manage multiple priorities, stakeholders, and workstreams while maintaining a clear perspective on broader business objectives. ● Establish strong working relationships across agency disciplines, fostering collaboration and shared ownership of the work. ● Maintain high standards for strategic thinking, communication, execution, and client service. ● Mentor and support team members, encouraging independent thinking, sound judgment, and professional growth. ● Identify opportunities to deepen the agency's partnership with the client and contribute to the long-term success of the business. What We're Looking For ● 6+ years of experience in advertising, marketing, or a related field, with demonstrated success leading integrated client business. ● A highly strategic thinker who can understand complex business challenges, connect information across multiple disciplines, and develop thoughtful recommendations. ● Exceptional client relationship skills, with the confidence, presence, and credibility to engage senior-level stakeholders as a trusted business partner. ● Sophisticated written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to distill technical or complex information into clear, compelling narratives. ● Strong organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities within a multifaceted business. ● Experience leading integrated marketing initiatives across digital, social, and traditional channels. ● A solid understanding of agency operations, creative development, and the collaboration required to deliver effective marketing communications. ● Intellectual curiosity and an interest in understanding industries where technical expertise, business strategy, and nuanced communication intersect. ● A proactive, solutions-oriented approach, with the confidence to challenge thinking, offer recommendations, and make informed decisions. ● Demonstrated ability to build long-term client relationships through trust, accountability, and strong business acumen. ● The composure, adaptability, and leadership skills to navigate complex situations and evolving business priorities. ● A bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience. Experience in B2B marketing, complex or highly regulated industries, or technically sophisticated categories is a strong plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
