Account Director – Digital Strategy / Client Services

dNovo Group is a Toronto-based digital marketing agency operating since 2011. We work with clients in the legal, medical, and construction industries, delivering integrated digital marketing strategies across SEO, Paid Media, Content Marketing, and Web Development.

We are looking for a Account Director to lead our Account Managers, oversee key client relationships, and drive strong client performance and retention. This is a senior role for someone ambitious, proactive, and experienced specifically in managing digital marketing clients within an agency environment.
