Accountcoördinator vacatures in Zaandam

Account Director

New squad member wanted: Account Director.

About the role

As an Account Director at The Invaders, you play a crucial role at the intersection of strategy, creativity and naturally, our clients.

You are a relationship architect and a consulting advisor. You don't just manage accounts, you elevate them. You see clients as partners, not projects. You think long game. You speak fluent English, maar kan ook vloeiend in het Nederlands opereren . You bring an appreciation for gaming culture, but it really doesn't matter to us if you're an elite esports pro or just love killing time in Candy Crush.

As Account Director, you own the client experience end to end: from business strategy, through planning and delivery, to growth and renewal. You lead with clarity, influence with empathy, and are always focused on delivering results for our clients.
