Who are we looking for?

We’re on the hunt for a seasoned client director/business director with solid experience in leading large-scale retail accounts and a proven ability to work across multiple channels — including traditional, digital, and particularly retail media.

  • Guide and collaborate with internal departments (strategy, creative, media, digital, production) to ensure seamless delivery.
  • Drive business growth through client development, identifying new opportunities within the account.
  • Be the custodian of timelines, budgets, and overall campaign effectiveness.
  • Lead and mentor a client service team, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and high performance.

What do you need?

  • 8–10+ years’ experience in client service within an agency environment, with at least 3 years at a senior leadership level.
  • Demonstrated experience managing large retail clients and retail media campaigns.
  • Solid understanding of the full marketing mix – ATL, BTL, digital, media, in-store, and shopper marketing.
  • Strong financial acumen, including budget management and forecasting.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills – both internally and externally.
  • A natural leader with a collaborative approach and strong attention to detail.
  • Resilience, adaptability, and the ability to remain solution-focused under pressure.
