About The Position

WE ARE HIRING AN ACCOUNT DIRECTOR
Ever opened a new bank account and got a weekend away? Spent on fashion and received a personal styling session? Picked up groceries and walked away with cinema tickets?
If so, you’ve probably experienced a TLC Worldwide campaign - without even knowing it.
At TLC, we help the world’s biggest brands drive customer acquisition, loyalty and engagement with emotionally engaging, experience-led rewards. From global banks to high street retailers, our programs are designed shift behaviour, boost ROI and build genuine brand love – at the fraction of the cost of discounting and cash offers. Backed by COSMOS, our all-in-one program platform, we deliver personalised campaigns at scale with live data, smart insights, and seamless customer journeys.
We’ve spent 30 years mastering what moves customers; combining deep consumer insight, a global network of 100,000+ rewards, and a unique ability to drive measurable ROI for brands.
We’re 400+ people strong, across 15 global hubs. A collective of marketers, creatives and strategists who care about doing great work - and having fun while we do it. We celebrate bold thinking, empower growth, and champion the kind of culture that helps people thrive.
We’re looking for a confident, commercially minded Account Director to lead our most important client relationships and help drive long‑term growth for TLC and our partners.
This is a role for someone who thrives on connection — with clients, with teams, and with the work. You’ll be trusted by senior stakeholders, respected internally as calm and credible and motivated by building partnerships that last.
You’ll bring strategic thinking, commercial sharpness, and positive energy to everything you do. You’ll create the conditions for great work to happen, support teams to perform at their best, and help TLC continue to grow in smart, sustainable ways.
Being a people-led business, we hire upon values and believe that our people are what make the beloved TLC culture so unique.
At TLC we aim to create a ‘world within the world’ that is free from prejudice, bias and inequity.
A world where diversity is valued and celebrated, and where we work hard to ensure all our wonderful people are given equal opportunity to succeed.
If you're excited by everything we've told you, then it's time to apply!
