Overview

Are you a retail print specialist who thrives on building exceptional client partnerships?

This is a unique opportunity to embed yourself within a prestigious brand relationship and take full ownership of its Point of Sale print strategy. You’ll be the trusted partner at the heart of everything from creative development to production delivery, ensuring that every campaign reflects the brand’s identity and drives real impact in-store.

Working hand in hand with senior stakeholders, you’ll shape the print and POS vision, guiding projects from concept to completion. You’ll translate brand ambitions into seamless executions across stores nationwide, managing timelines, budgets, and quality with precision. Your understanding of retail print — from formats and materials to logistics and sustainability — will ensure each campaign is delivered flawlessly and innovatively.

This role is perfect for someone who understands the art of partnership. You’ll bring deep experience in retail Point of Sale print, along with the confidence to influence at a senior level and the insight to anticipate a brand’s needs before they’re even voiced. Your ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery will make you an invaluable extension of your client’s marketing team.

In return, you’ll join a business that champions collaboration, innovation, and long-term client relationships. You’ll have the autonomy to truly own the account, backed by one of the most capable and forward-thinking print networks in Europe — giving you the platform to deliver outstanding work every time.

The client is specifically seeking someone who is already operating at Account Director level, with a proven track record of leading complex, high-profile retail accounts. You’ll have experience managing and developing a team of Account Managers, providing clear direction, mentorship, and support while ensuring the highest standards of delivery across all workstreams.
