Bakery is looking for an Account Director to lead integrated client work across creative, strategy, production, and project management. You’ll be the day-to-day business lead for important clients, guiding a multidisciplinary team and ensuring the delivery of bold, culture-driven, high-quality work.

The ideal candidate is a proven business partner who brings resourcefulness, clarity, and initiative to a fast-moving, creative environment.

You’ll lead an integrated team within Bakery and, at times, work closely with our sister companies—KEN Media and Supernatural Production—as well as external partners. Success in this role means more than just keeping things on track. It means growing the business, elevating the work, and helping the client become the best version of themselves.
