Group Account Director – Valtech – NY, USA

Job Description

We are Valtech, a digital agency with an unprecedented ambition to set the tone of the future digital business. Are you ready to play along?We are looking for a Group Account Director for our office in the Meatpacking District of New York City. If you’re up for the challenge you have a chance to join us in the pursuit of becoming the leading digital agency globally. We are well underway with offices worldwide and across the USA. But there is still work to be done.

As Account Director, your day will look something like this:

Your job is to know your clients’ business! You have deep industry knowledge, you keep on top the evolving landscape to know what the clients’ competitors are doing, and you can define initiatives and projects that can help them. You also understand Valtech’s value proposition and solution offerings thoroughly and can articulate to your clients’ exactly how Valtech can help them drive toward their business goals.

You are at home in front of the client – you can talk strategy, big picture stuff, or tactical details, and your clients are going to look to you as their partner who can deliver both thought-leadership as well as world class delivery. They know you’ll be the one who manages the highest levels of quality from the proposal through to the delivery solution.

You are involved in strategic engagements as strategist or executive advisor. Your clients appreciate this and reward it by requesting your ongoing leadership. You enable our internal delivery teams by providing them the overview and guidance that allow them to be proactive and on point with your client’s strategy. And you’re a team player. You’ll contribute to ensuring effective team performance by alignment of all proposals to their resultant delivery plans. You’ll be a point of escalation for the client as well as the project team.

You’re also here to help us grow our business. Your primary focus will be your portfolio of clients, where you will build and follow a strong engagement plan that drives Valtech to becoming their primary digital partner. You will also reserve some time for acquiring new clients. That means your eyes and ears are open to new opportunities. You can network, open the doors – particularly at decision maker level, scope the engagement, and close the deal. All in a consultative manner that leaves the client confident that Valtech is the right partner for them for the long haul.

You manage client relationships as well as local and/or regional relationships with the business partner community to achieve revenue targets up to $10MM annually.

Through your contributions to both client & non-client based initiatives, you’ll be an active participant in the growth of the company and the local office.

Here’s what it’s like to work for us:

We’re advisors, visionaries, creative and techies…with an agency mindset. We believe in working together, and that the best results come when we pool our knowledge and brainstorm the right solution for our customers.

We embrace all things digital.

Our ambition is to become global leader in the digital space. No more, no less. Our customers look to us to help them succeed in the digital landscape. We deliver work that makes them the leaders in their industries, based on a thorough understanding of their business and a close collaboration with their employees.

We talk to each other.

We work in an open environment, with business developers, web technologists, strategists and creatives sitting side-by-side, pooling their collective wisdom in order to come up with the best solution for our clients.

We have fun.

We don’t believe in boredom. We do work hard, and we put in the hours we need to get the job done, but we also have a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere with passionate colleagues who enjoy what they do.

We love our clients.

Seriously! They are the reason why we are here. And why wouldn’t we? We are working with some of the biggest and most interesting brands in the world, along with a lot of other companies that all have great ambition to succeed in the digital space.

We’re global.

Valtech has almost 3,000 employees across 38 offices worldwide. In North America, we have offices in New York, Dallas, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal.

We’re looking ahead.

We are driven by a visionary mindset, and that means there is plenty of room for initiative and for talented people to shape who we are tomorrow.
