At Four Agency, we create the stories that shape tomorrow’s brands, passions and experiences. From shopping destinations and personal finance to culture, travel and lifestyle—our Lifescapes practice helps brilliant brands belong in the lives of real people.

You might know our clients, but it’s the strategy, creativity and insight behind the scenes that make us different. We're independent, international, and at the cutting edge of AI-powered communications. With purpose-led values, top-tier training, and a commitment to inclusion, this is a place where people and ideas grow.

What you’ll do

As Account Director, you'll:

• Lead major campaigns for iconic financial, retail and destination brands across the UK and internationally
• Shape strategic storytelling, brand comms, media plans and influencer engagement across earned, owned, shared & paid
• Be the senior day-to-day client lead—trusted advisor, bold thinker, sharp operator
• Manage multiple teams, projects and priorities with empathy, commercial acumen and style
• Inspire, mentor and champion junior team members and rising grads
• Collaborate with our AI prompt engineers, insight analysts, film producers, designers and strategists – all on hand to support your work
• Help win the next great piece of business—proposals, pitches, market insight, ideas

What you bring

We’re looking for someone with:

• 5+ years’ agency-side experience in consumer comms, destination PR or personal finance storytelling
• Proven success in account leadership, media relations, and cross-channel delivery
• Excellent communication skills and client relationship flair
• A head for strategy, a heart for culture, and an eye for detail
• Experience running high-performance teams and contributing to agency growth

What we offer

• Independent, international, award-winning: a strategic seat at the table, not a cog in the machine
• AI-enabled thinking: world-class tools & training to supercharge your ideas
• Real progression: clear leadership pathways, inspiring mentorship and career development
• Purpose in action: paid volunteering, sustainability networks, inclusion groups
• People-first benefits: 9 month salary reviews, pension, volunteering, hybrid flexibility
