About AKQA
AKQA, part of WPP, sells agency work rather than a product: brand and business strategy, digital products and services, apps, CRM and owned channels, and integrated campaigns for global brands such as Levi's, Montblanc, UPS, Netflix and Lexus. Its commercial seats sit in Client Services, the agency's account management line, where the job is to keep a client relationship healthy and grow it from within by bringing the client its next brief before it asks, not to hunt new logos against a quota. Titles climb the agency ladder from account manager and senior account manager through account director and senior account director to group account director, the most senior day-to-day lead on an account, and the senior grades own the revenue forecast, scoping, resourcing and margin. Current briefs include digital product work for a large consumer brand and a carmaker led from Seattle on Pacific hours, CRM and in-app marketing calendars in Sydney, where retail agency experience counts, events and experiential programmes in Sweden, and comms and digital projects for global brands in Berlin. Directors also write commercial scopes and proposals and present new business opportunities to senior clients themselves.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: No AKQA posting prints pay, the Seattle group account director included, and none mentions a bonus, commission or any variable tied to account growth; each links to a benefits page instead. The senior grades carry growth, forecast and margin targets, so turn those into questions: whether a bonus rides on account revenue or margin, how it is measured and paid, and what the salary band is for the grade in that city.
