Digital Account Director

**Overview**

We are Construct Digital, the Transformation Agency. We help companies spot, interpret and leverage opportunities created by change, specialising in three key areas: Marketing Transformation, Experience Transformation and Business Transformation.

Our team of digital natives are always constructing things. We’re never comfortable with the status quo. We’re creatives, tinkerers, scientists, engineers and inventors, energised and informed through an extensive data and insights engine, developed from years of campaigns across the Asia Pacific.

With a presence across 5 major countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia, Construct Digital is a vibrant independent network that's always been ahead of the curve, with a fully connected offering of strategy & data, creative & content, marketing & media, and technology & development.

We partner with innovative B2B brands such as SAP, Commscope, Rosetta.ai, NTT Data, ST Engineering, TÜV SÜD, Regus, Inchcape, ENGIE and Givaudan, as well as leading B2C brands, such as Starbucks, The Body Shop, Ikea, Giant, NUS and American Express, across key markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

**The Team**

If you love the process of unpacking a brief, working with specialist marketers, developers and creatives to deliver the best solution to a client’s problem while keeping a close watch on timelines and budgets and learning something new every day - this is the job for you.

Our client management team is at the heart of everything we do, working closely with our team of digital experts to deliver only the best of digital. In leading your accounts, you will drive projects from inception to delivery on time, within budget and to the highest quality level.

We value team players that exhibit a strong affinity to our core values:
**Change Agents**: Others may shrink from change. We run towards it, recognising the opportunities it presents.

**Ownership Mindset**: We’re drivers, not passengers. We act with urgency and purpose to get the job done right.

**Value-Oriented**: We do things that add value to our business or to ourselves personally.

**Respect for Everyone**: We treat everyone respectfully - our colleagues, clients, partners and ourselves.

Expect to be put through aptitude and attitude tests, cases studies and a series of interviews. We take hiring for our team seriously and expect you will have the determination to see this through with us. If you get hired and are not a good fit - you will find out soon enough as you will stick out like a sore thumb. But if you fit right in, you will relish every day at the office - working on new challenges and a team you can trust.
