We're looking for an experienced Account Director to join our Stockholm studio. You'll be the bridge between senior management and the day-to-day account teams, with your finger on the pulse of client service, team performance and creative output.

You live and breathe the Manifest values, set the daily example of the culture we're building, and keep a healthy disregard for the impossible.
