We’re Sköna, a B2B creative powerhouse with offices in San Francisco and Stockholm. We help high-tech brands tell stories that matter—through digital marketing, brand strategy, websites, events, outdoor advertising, and more.
We’re looking for an Account Director who thrives in the fast-paced world of creative agencies. You’ve been in the game long enough to keep your cool—tight deadlines, shifting priorities, and big personalities don’t shake you. Instead, you turn chaos into clarity and make those around you better. Clients trust your strategic insight. Your team values your leadership. And when you speak, people listen.
What It’s Like to Work Here
We love what we do, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re small but mighty, and collaboration is at the heart of everything. No egos, no silos—just a group of passionate people pushing each other to do great work. We get things done, support each other, and still have lives outside of work.
