About this role
About Us
Pitchday is a creative agency founded in 2019 in Singapore with a clear vision: to be the go-to creative partner for some of the world’s most desirable brands. We thrive on tackling bold, challenging briefs, and act as a seamless extension of our clients’ teams.
Today, we collaborate with brands across every continent, including Google, YouTube, Android, Netflix, CHANEL, and Silicon Valley startups. Our growth is entirely driven by word of mouth, and our team now spans 10 countries.
Our Team
Pitchday is growing, and we’re looking for a standoutAccount Director to take ownership of one of our flagship accounts and lead multidisciplinary creative teams to deliver work we’re proud of. You’ll be the person who sets the standard: defining the playbook, creating clarity, removing blockers, nurturing talent, and ensuring the team produces consistently excellent work without needing you in every conversation. You step in where your expertise matters most. As a Account Director, you become the bridge between client vision and creative execution. You turn ambiguous strategic briefs into actionable direction, guide the team to deliver engaging and on-brand solutions, and act as the single reliable point of contact for our clients.
What you will do
Own day-to-day client delivery: plan, coordinate, and manage all work streams from briefing to final output, ensuring projects launch on time and to the required standard.
Act as the main point of contact for the client, providing proactive updates, setting expectations, and addressing challenges before they become problems.
Translate briefs into clear creative direction, making sure designers and producers know exactly what is needed, why, and by when.
Ensure the quality of creative work, reviewing concepts and deliverables to confirm they meet brand guidelines, performance goals, and client requirements.
Lead and mentor the team, giving guidance, feedback, and coaching to help designers and account staff grow and deliver at a high level.
Create and maintain delivery plans, assigning ownership, defining timelines, and managing capacity across the account.
Support commercial performance, monitoring budgets, resource usage, and identifying opportunities for upsell based on strong delivery and client needs.
Facilitate cross-regional collaboration, coordinating work across different time zones and cultures to ensure unified and consistent output.
Who you are
An experienced project/account manager with 5+ years leading design or creative delivery in a studio or agency environment.
Skilled at running end-to-end creative projects, keeping timelines, budgets, expectations, and scope under control.
Experienced in the marketing, design, or creative industry, ideally working with cross-disciplinary teams.
Comfortable working day-to-day with a highly competent and global client team.
Strong in communication, with the ability to make complex requirements simple and clear.
Able to translate client needs into actionable direction for design and production teams.
Detail-oriented with high standards for creative output and delivery.
A supportive leader who can motivate, guide, and grow creative talent.
Excellent English in both writing and speaking.
Nice to have
Understanding Southeast Asian languages/cultures is a plus.
Passionate about tech and creativity.
You are someone who stays on top of new tools, trends, and industry shifts.
Familiar with one or many of our working tools, such as Google Workspace, Slack, Float, and modern AI platforms like Gemini, ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.
Benefits
Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses and promotion opportunities.
Remote-first setup - work from anywhere.
Opportunity to work with flagship clients, including Google, Netflix, and Chanel.
Flexible, industry-leading PTO so you can balance work and life your way.
Join a talented, inspiring, and collaborative team.
We’re committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of your identity, experiences and beliefs. We want Pitchday to be a place where you can try out new things with the risk of failing, where you can take ownership over your own work without being micromanaged, and where there’s a low barrier for coming up with ideas — no matter your job title or discipline.
