The posting

Jones Knowles Ritchie is a branding business, founded in 1990 and proudly independent ever since.

We started out in the world of packaging, but now we’re worldwide—from three founders, to more than 350 of us across the UK, USA and China. Together, we build and deliver brands across the entire consumer experience.

But even more important than what we do, is why we do it. We’re here to inspire brands and people to be their true selves. To be brave. Be tenacious. And above all, be yourself. Because we believe that’s the only way to truly be distinctive, everywhere.

We are looking for an Account Director to join us, reporting into the Group Business Director.

The account management team is the driving force of JKR’s capability.

As an Account Director, you will promote collaboration, and create long-lasting client advocacy by pushing for the very best creative output. You'll be seeking a seat at the top table, yearn to build client development plans, look for new business opportunities, and want to become an inspirational leader.

You'll work across key clients across a variety of projects including Brand Identity redesign and broader Brand Architecture work, where you'd lead projects from end to end.

We're looking for someone to join our team who can have high level brand conversations with the client, and make recommendations based on their clear understanding of the clients business and challenges.

We're looking to build on the success of these client relationships, so we're looking for a strong track record of organic account growth from the successful candidate.

  • Experience working with global CPG clients
  • Lead and motivate a team with multiple disciplines
  • Have sharp commercial and business acumen
  • Curiosity and excitement for the future of branding
  • Ability to 'do' and 'think' for the client, thus creating depth and scope within an account through an extended diet of work or winning new brands
  • Experience working on packaging design and brand identity design projects
  • Excellent EQ and ability to read the room and influence results
  • Collaborative nature both internally, with clients and with partner agencies, always seeking to find solutions
  • Ability to juggle multiple workstreams in a calm manner
  • Confidence and clarity of communication
  • Hunter/Growth mentality – always looking for opportunities and converting them to projects

We're also keen to hear from people with experience in:

  • Working at the forefront of branding e.g. motion/sonic identity projects
  • Working in partnership with program/project managers
  • Running global brand identity design system project

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression.

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.
