Account Director, Retail & Experiential

### Job description THE ROLE: You'll lead our retail and experiential accounts end to end from concept through construction from our New York City agency. You're the connective tissue between clients, our creative teams, and the partners who build the work: fabricators, GCs, millworkers, and client AORs. A deep working command of build-out schedules, SOWs, and budgets is imperative you'll own all three, and clients and teams alike will trust you because of it. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Own client relationships. Be the senior day-to-day contact for retail and experiential accounts building trust with client stakeholders, anticipating needs, navigating hard conversations, and turning good projects into long-term partnerships. Own scopes, schedules, and budgets. Author and manage SOWs, drive build-out schedules from design development through install and punch list, and keep budgets honest flagging risk early and protecting both the client's budget and the work. Run the build. Steer vendors, fabricators, GCs, and client AORs sourcing the right partners, negotiating well, and orchestrating them as one team so what opens matches what we designed. Lead and mentor. Work closely with the internal creative team, setting the standard for how Mythology shows up in the room and on the job site. WHO YOU ARE: Someone people genuinely enjoy working with generous, collaborative, low-ego, and the kind of person who makes both the work and the team around them better. Deeply fluent in how physical projects get built; SOWs, build-out schedules, budgets, drawing sets, and the realities of fabrication and construction. You might come from architecture, interior design, design/construction project management, or the account side of an experiential or retail design studio the path matters less than the skills. An experienced client lead we care more about your judgment, taste, and track record than a specific number of years. A clear, confident communicator who can present to a CMO, wrangle a fabricator, and walk a job site in the same afternoon. Genuinely excited by creative work and protective of it; you know great client service is what makes brave work possible. DETAILS: Based in our New York studio at 324 Lafayette Street.
