Job Description:

Head of Client Services

Location: Huddersfield (3 days in-office and must be UK based)

We’re hiring a Head of Client Services to join a high-growth B2B digital business that’s already turning heads in their industry...and they’re only just getting started.

This is a pivotal leadership role where you’ll take the reins on key client relationships, guide a small but driven client team, and help shape the way this agency scales in 2025 and beyond.

About the Company:

Think household names. Think digital excellence. This is a team that’s already built a solid reputation delivering standout work for major brands, and now, with a growing client base and big plans ahead, they’re looking for someone who can elevate their client service function and bring real energy to the office culture.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Owning relationships with some of their most valuable clients. You’ll be the face of the agency when it counts.
• Leading strategic conversations and ensuring commercial goals are met (and exceeded).
• Mentoring and managing a small team of client execs, offering guidance, structure, and the benefit of your experience.
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure smooth delivery and consistent quality across every touchpoint.
• Playing an active role in the Huddersfield office 3 days a week, building team culture and staying close to the action.

What They’re Looking For:

You’ve likely cut your teeth in a digital agency or similar environment and are comfortable leading the charge with big-brand clients. You’re commercially minded but emotionally intelligent, with a knack for bringing people together and lifting standards across the board.

• Proven experience managing client relationships at a senior level
• A confident negotiator and strategic thinker
• Someone who’s led teams or mentored others and thrives in a collaborative environment
• A proactive attitude and hands-on approach to leadership

Why It’s a Great Move:

• You’ll shape the future of client services for a business on the up
• You’ll have autonomy to lead, improve, and grow the department
• You’ll work with a genuinely friendly, collaborative team that’s passionate about what they do
• The office culture is grounded, welcoming, and built on trust — they just want great people doing great work

Ready to step into a role where your ideas, energy, and experience can drive real change?
