About this role
OLIVER's Manila office is seeking a Group Account Director to lead the creative team embedded at Unilever's U-Studios, where the mission is delivering high-impact content and digital campaigns. You'd be the strategic anchor between agency and client—identifying which team members fit each brief, managing priorities and deadlines, safeguarding the brand, and presenting work both internally and to stakeholders. This role demands someone who can think clearly under pressure, command respect from clients, and keep a complex workflow moving without sacrificing quality.
The ideal candidate combines account management fundamentals (workflow filtering, invoicing, resource allocation) with genuine creative input—you're not just directing from above, but contributing ideas to studio output. You'll need strong client engagement skills and the ability to integrate seamlessly with Unilever's in-house team while maintaining agency standards. A real curiosity about AI and new technologies is essential; while hands-on knowledge of AI tools is a plus, what matters most is your willingness and ability to learn how these tools can enhance what the studio produces.
This is an in-office role in Manila, suited to someone ready to shape a positive, productive design culture at a specialist agency working across 40+ countries. OLIVER values ambition, imagination, and continuous learning—and backs that up with a commitment to inclusion and sustainability.
