We’re looking for a Senior Client Director to join our London studio and play a pivotal role in building and strengthening long-term client relationships. 

You will lead strategic conversations, bring creative leadership, and provide brand insights that guide our clients through complex challenges. Whether it’s steering multi-faceted brand portfolios or ensuring consistency across campaigns and projects, you’ll be the trusted advisor who translates our clients’ ambitions into impactful brand strategies and design solutions.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll work with cross-functional teams, driving projects from brief to execution in the FMCG and/or Drinks portfolios. You’ll ensure every project is executed to the highest creative and strategic standards, inspiring trust with our clients while championing innovation. Your work will touch every aspect of brand development, from shaping overarching strategies to overseeing detailed project execution, always with an eye on delivering excellence.

You’re a natural leader with strong strategic thinking and a flair for building meaningful client partnerships. Your experience spans multiple industries, and you excel in finding imaginative solutions to brand challenges, but experience working with global FMCG and/or Drinks brands would be advantageous. 

Proactive and resourceful, you’re deeply invested in understanding your clients’ needs and crafting brand strategies that align with their goals. A true collaborator, you thrive in team environments, fostering a culture of openness and creativity. 

You possess excellent judgment, analytical skills, and the ability to manage expectations while delivering clear, compelling communication. Above all, your passion for branding, coupled with your entrepreneurial spirit, makes you a dynamic force in leading teams and clients to success.

We’re passionate about our people and their careers. We’ll help you develop your skills and provide you with outstanding benefits. So you’ll have a chance to make your mark on our future, as we make a mark on yours. We’re proud to be the world’s most awarded brand design agency, with 28 Cannes Lions to our name and Creative Review Annual’s Most Creative Design Agency of the Year 2024. You’ll get to take new projects to award-winning potential, as part of a connected team of brilliant, tenacious people right by your side and across the world.  

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
