THE ROLE:

We’re looking for an Account Director to join our Fan Engagement team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

We’re hiring for an Account Director to work across our motorsport accounts – including fan engagement and partnership activation.
We’re looking for someone with a strong understanding of and experience working with Rights Holders and Brand Partnership in Sports. Beyond being a fan, we want an individual that understands the business of sport and the stage it provides brands to reach and engage audiences united by shared passions.
You should be a strategically minded individual, who will invest time in understanding our client’s business and be willing to get hands-on in solving their challenges. You will play a pivotal role in coordinating and guiding an integrated Ogilvy team to deliver clever thinking and effective creative solutions. You will be responsible for some of our most important projects in 2025 (and beyond), so we’re looking for someone that has high expectations of themself and the team. We need someone that can earn the trust of the client quickly, so they become the ‘go-to’ for all things on projects.
These are fast-paced accounts. Our product is live and often unpredictable, with constantly evolving stories and events to respond to. So, we’re looking for an individual that can thrive in this environment – comfortable with unpredictability, navigating and managing change, making smart decision on the run and guiding the team and client to the best possible outcomes.
Your experience should be multi-channel, able to support fan engagement across the fragmented media landscape. The ideal candidate will have strength in direct-to-fan engagement, including relationship management and monetisation of fandom - as this is at the core of the Ogilvy Fan Engagement offering. This includes developing and implementing CRM strategies, particularly leveraging first-party data to enhance fan experiences and drive business results.
