Kurppa Hosk is a brand agency with close to 80 employees across our offices in Stockholm and New York.
We solve complex business problems by combining the sharpest strategic minds with the best designers in the industry, working across sectors to serve some of the world’s most renowned legacy brands alongside a selection of brave, progressive start-ups and scale-ups. 

We are also part of Eidra: a consultancy collective made up of the best companies within consulting, creativity, and engineering. We’re built to provide leaders with the concentrated expertise they need to drive commercial advantage at speed. With a foundation of management consultancy, we orchestrate the process from strategy to execution. 

As we continue to grow our offices in Stockholm and New York, we’re looking to bring onboard a talented Account Director who can help us enable both new and current client relationships to flourish. We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial setting and a fast-paced, creative environment.
As a person, you like to push the boundaries and as such, are able to adapt your experiences and take on new challenges if required — even if this means stepping out of your comfort zone from time to time, you maintain an attitude of ‘anything is possible. 

You are the go-to person for both clients and the Kurppa Hosk team, you must be as organized as you are a creative problem solver — and that you enjoy working in collaborative team set-ups with people from different backgrounds and with varying skill sets. You have an evident talent for and interest in working on long-term brand partnerships alongside managing complex project lifecycles from beginning to end, getting the best out of cross-disciplinary teams to create brand experiences that can travel across platforms and create a lasting impact for businesses. 

You also grasp the commercial dimension of our partnerships, and how to advise clients through the process of creating meaningful and rewarding brand and business change. A key aspect of this will be the ability to understand and identify the potential for complex, transformative assignments across multiple Eidra companies leveraging the full value proposition of the group. Tangible experience in managing large scale digital projects, as well as larger brand implementations, is also highly desirable.

You are detail-oriented but are also able to take a step back and see the bigger picture — identifying opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. In playing the dual role of client advocate and Kurppa Hosk team advocate, you recognize that close collaboration, both internally and externally, is key to ensuring optimal levels of success for all projects.
