At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Account Director to play a key role in our NYC Office. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Account Director you’ll be part of our Global Media team working with the world’s most recognizable media and streaming brands. Reporting into the VP of Global Media, this role will require you to deeply understand your clients challenges and position GWI’s data & insight as a solution to drive key business initiatives and broader strategies. You will be required to build strong and trusting client relationships identifying new opportunities for expansion and revenue growth.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

👉 Strategic seller who brings a process driven approach to identify white space, understand client use cases, and initiate deals.

👉 Proven track record in developing and executing effective account growth strategies, meeting and exceeding revenue targets, and closing complex deals.

👉 Understanding of the advertising and media ecosystem

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.
