I’m a little confused with the titles. I’ve been a group account sup for some time now. In the company I’m applying it’s “account director” or “senior account director”

I would assume next typical title would be Vp, group account sup. But if that doesn’t exist, do I apply to senior account director? Just don’t want to make a lateral move as I’ve been a group account sup for almost 2.5 years now

I’ve never been anywhere with group account supervisor. How many years of experience do you have? What were All your titles before your current title?

like

Assistant account executive
Account executive
Senior account executive
Account supervisor
Group account supervisor

= 9 years experience in total

If you’re applying for an account Director role it’s the same as group account supervisor


Go for the senior title and if this is Klick you’re applying to, just don’t

How do your duties as a group account sup, differ than an account sup? What is the title above you at your current agency?

Never heard of a group sup, I would think you’d apply for an account director role. The leap from sup to director is a big one in terms of a job shift. 2.5 years feels fairly average to then make the move up.

Apply for both 🤷‍♀️ based on your experience and desire salary they will know where to place you.

I would guess your current role is like an associate account director then account director would be the next role up.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
