Senior Account Director, Client Services

At R/GA, the Client Services team sit at the heart of all the work we do for our clients, who look to us to lead our integrated agency team as an extension of their client teams. We set the bar high at R/GA. We are not just "account people". We don't just strive to solve our client's problems; we challenge ourselves to transform their entire category.

Our people are expected to think, behave and function like CMOs, regardless of their title or level.

We represent the client's voice inside the agency (when our clients are at their best), while keeping an objective perspective on what's right for the client's business and what will exceed their goals. We're equal parts business partner, strategic marketer, connector, entrepreneur and trusted advisor.
