Dublin, Ireland Neon Agency Ltd Full time

We are one of the world's leading independently owned Brand Experience Agencies. Based in Dublin, with a satellite workspace in London, we work with global brands to deliver experiential brand campaigns, conferences, trade exhibitions, retail installations, employee award shows, and sponsorship activations.

The Role

This is a full-time position as ‘Account Director’ with Neon Agency, reporting directly to the Deputy MD, with an indirect reporting line to the Managing Director.

The main focus of the role, in the first instance, is growth within the business of key accounts (main business activities followed by retained business) across live & digital activations, large-scale live events, corporate events, social media management, PR and creative; followed by excellent delivery of hybrid events, 360 experiential campaigns and full turnkey project management duties.

You will be responsible for managing your own team, and all associated projects, and growing those client relationships. You will have your own annual targets in line with the overall business targets. You will also support the management team in the development of the Neon Agency brand through various social media, PR, brand and marketing activities. As the agency team grows, you will have the opportunity to build your own team with Account Managers, Event Producers, and Executives reporting directly to yourself. This specific role currently has one AM and one AE as direct reports, but this will likely increase as the agency grows over the coming year(s).

Working hours are flexi-time and we are happy to move forward with remote working, as required, but based on a skeleton structure of 9 am - 5.30 pm, 5 days a week. There will be hours over and above the skeleton structure, but these are considered as part of the deal and no “overtime” is payable. These include proposed networking events, working to prepare proposals/tenders/meeting clients and client management where required. However, we do operate a fair “time off” system for unsociable hours worked.

A strong team attitude is expected, and you will be able to manage executives to support you in your role. All business activities and information are to remain strictly confidential, as per Neon Agency NDA.

All proposals, ideas, and content howsoever created remain the property of Neon Agency at all times. You will have monthly and quarterly financial targets that will be reviewed as we progress. You will also have half-year and annual reviews to discuss goals, areas for improvement, and targets.

You will meet at least once a week/month to discuss progress and developments.

All agreements in relation to the ongoing financial arrangement between you and Neon Agency are to be put in writing, emailed, and responded to.

Key Responsibilities

- Owning your own financial targets within the business.
- Working with the Deputy MD/MD to grow the key accounts within your remit.
- Taking the lead on pitches, proposals, and accurate costing of same – for both existing and new business clients.
- Developing project plans, critical paths, creative deliverables, and associated project files – working with your team.
- Managing and owning the ideation, concept development, and creative briefing process on specific projects and jobs.
