Job description
You show the way. As an account director at FINN, you are a strategic sounding board for the board and C-level at Belgium’s largest companies and organizations. Customers count on you to provide them with valuable insights and creative solutions that have an impact on their reputation and brand. You make sure everyone is on the same page, both colleagues and freelancers with whom you work for your clients.
You develop strategies. As an account director, you are aware of the business challenges of the key accounts at FINN and turn them into viable, impactful strategies and campaigns. You help clients make informed decisions about their communication approach – both in their proactive brand building and in issue management and crisis communication. You keep clients on their toes by alerting them to the challenges facing them today – as well as tomorrow.
You orchestrate. You ensure precise execution of the communication strategies and plans. As an account director, you are the point of contact for key clients at FINN. You liaise with management where necessary and closely monitor the work of internal and external team members. You ensure that campaigns are delivered at the highest quality, on time and within budget.
Profile
You have an academic master’s degree (not necessarily in communications) or equivalent experience. You have built up considerable experience in a marketing, communications or public affairs role and have learned to keep a cool head in ever-changing situations.
You like to keep things moving. For you, a strategy is a mandate to do things. You like to grow brands and reputations through concrete actions. You can zoom in on details when needed and zoom back out to see the bigger picture – and the next step in the client’s journey.
You are analytical. You see connections between facts and can turn them into a compelling story.
You are empathetic. You know your own strengths and weaknesses and can understand the point of view of others. You are committed to integrity.
You are Dutch-speaking, and you express yourself fluently in French and English.
Offer
FINN is a team of open-minded colleagues who share an ambition to acquire mastery in the communication profession.
We believe in patient growth. We offer opportunities to grow, but support that growth through coaching. We regularly set up internal workshops and meet and greets with interesting influencers, politicians or journalists. We offer three training days a year. We like to work with the latest tools to make our work run smoother.
Our lines of decision are short. As a team member you are close to management, and you shape your own path at FINN. Are you more interested in lifestyle influencers or are you more of a techie? Bitten by B2B or B2C? Crisis communication or internal communication? We listen to your interests and see how we can best match them through our work.
We are a young and dynamic team that values a good atmosphere at work. We always find a new reason for a drink and/or team lunch. Once a year we go out together for a FINN day. We believe that an optimal, pleasant working environment for our employees is crucial.
Therefore, we also offer the flexibility to work from home as well as from the office and to combine work and family life. Our office is located in the heart of Brussels, close to the Kaaienwijk, with beautiful natural light and a view over the canal. We are easily accessible by public transport and by car.
