Account Director (Hybrid Business Development)

Account Director (Hybrid Business Development)

Open for applicants – 17th March 2026

We’re looking for our next A-player to join the crew at Marwick Marketing.

This is a hybrid role that blends the responsibilities of an Account Director with Business Development – generating new opportunities through proactive outreach and relationship building.

If you’re someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities, and helping brands grow through smart digital marketing — we’d love to hear from you.

About Marwick Marketing

Marwick Marketing is a Google Partner Agency based in the South West, specialising in:

-Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

-Google Ads (Search, Display, Remarketing, YouTube, Mobile & Shopping)

-Social Media Marketing

-Website Design & Development

-Conversion Rate Optimisation

-LLM Optimisation (LLMO)

You’ll work closely with our technical marketing team, who execute campaigns across our client portfolio. While they focus on performance and delivery, the Account Director sits client-side — shaping strategy, managing relationships and identifying opportunities for growth.

Marwick Marketing sits within the DYSUJO ecosystem, alongside:

-Wavelength Surf Magazine

-Longboarder Magazine

-10 Over Surf Shop

-UK Surf & Skate Expo

Because of this, we’re particularly interested in someone who understands how brands operate within ecosystems, where media, events, retail and digital marketing all connect.

We’re looking for someone with a self-starting, can-do attitude who enjoys building relationships and being part of a fast-moving team.

Our Vision

We believe great work happens when there’s energy, trust and connection inside the team.

We’re building a workplace where people push each other to raise the bar, while still enjoying the ride along the way.

If you like working with good people, moving fast, and helping brands grow through digital marketing, you’ll fit right in. An understanding of the surf industry is a bonus but not necessary. We’re all a team of outdoor enthusiasts here, so if you’re passionate about being amongst nature, we want to hear from you.
