Job description
Mythology is looking for an Account director to join its team in New York.
About Mythology
Mythology is an independent creative agency in New York. We’re a multidisciplinary team of creative instigators producing big work across branding, advertising, and retail design – helping clients like Warby Parker, Mattel, and A24 solve their existential business challenges. On the retail and experiential side, our concepts don’t stay on the page: they get engineered, fabricated, permitted, and built. This role is for the person who gets them there.
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

Based in our New York studio at 324 Lafayette Street.
