About Challenge Marketing

We’re a creative agency helping brands connect, stand out, and convert. Our mantra and ethos in all we do is Engagement is Everything. We are and have always been fully remote but tight-knit, we blend strategy, digital, and creative with a growing focus on AI and modern marketing tools. We’re looking for someone seasoned, strategic, and proactive to join our team as an Account Director.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive (digital) strategy – advise on multi-channel campaigns with a focus on modern marketing and AI-led approaches.
• Lead and deliver – from strategy through to execution across digital, content, and events. Manage studio input and output, including scheduling and QA.
• Spot opportunities – identify ways to grow client accounts and expand our work.
• Stay hands-on – no project manager here, so you’ll need to be organised, proactive, and able to self-manage.
• Collaborate closely – report into the CSD and work alongside a supportive, experienced team.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven (b2b) marketing agency experience (or senior client-side).
• Skilled at high-level stakeholder conversations and client leadership.
• Martech knowledge (Brevo, Wordpress, Canva, Teams, Sharepoint) is useful but not essential.
• Excellent organisation and self-starting ability.

Why Join Us

• Remote-first flexibility with occasional meetups in Surrey/South London and client meetings/events that may be UK-wide.
• Autonomy & impact – you’ll own accounts, shape strategy, and influence growth.
• Exciting clients in tech, B2B innovation and B2C.
• A supportive, collaborative culture where your expertise is trusted.
