Careers

We’re a small (but mighty) global creative agency with roots in Stockholm and a heart in San Francisco – think Scandinavian minimalism meets West Coast quirkiness. We help B2B and tech companies transform into brave brands through strategy, design, campaigns, events, and digital experiences.

We’re a tight-knit team that believes great work comes from collaboration, curiosity, and a healthy dose of “fika” (look it up). We value a strong culture, a well-stocked snack cabinet, creative thinking, and work-life balance. Pups are welcome in the office every day, and on Thursdays, we have team lunch and hold a weekly creative inspo session. Every year, we all get together for a global retreat – we are 2 offices but one company.

Role Overview

The Senior Account Director is a commercial and strategic senior-level role with full P&L responsibility for a client portfolio. You own the multi-year growth of our B2B tech clients, lead C-level relationships, and are responsible for a high-performing cross-functional team. You set strategy and roadmap, lead pitches and commercial negotiations, and carry ultimate responsibility for revenue growth, margin, and client satisfaction across multiple accounts.
