Job description

Impression Digital

Impression is a global performance marketing agency that turns Evidence into Action through high-performance marketing. We are 120+ experts across offices in London, Manchester, Nottingham, and New York.

We’re driven by a relentless pursuit of progress.

Brands aren’t getting the results they deserve. Best practices don’t drive growth, campaigns lack impact, and investment decisions are often based on assumptions over evidence.

Impression changes this. We’re setting new standards of excellence through our people, our performance, and our technology. With our team behind them, clients overcome market challenges and grow bigger, faster.

We give direct access to the most talented minds in the industry - creative problem-solvers who challenge the status quo. They are backed by a proven experimentation process and proprietary technology, they measure and maximise marketing effectiveness.

Together, we turn evidence into action.

The Role

We’re looking for a highly organised, commercially-minded individual with strong relationship-building skills to join our growing Client Success Team as a Client Success Manager.

In this role, your mission is to unlock what “success” looks like for our clients, our delivery teams, and the agency. You’ll lead client relationships, ensuring we deliver outstanding work that drives real business outcomes, while managing internal teams and commercial performance effectively.

You’ll play a key role in growing Impression by fostering client satisfaction and retention, identifying opportunities for growth, and ensuring our delivery is both excellent and profitable.

You’ll understand each stakeholder’s priorities and work to align agency delivery with their business goals, balancing empathy with assertiveness when needed.

3. Commercial Ownership
You’ll take responsibility for the commercial performance of your accounts. That means keeping work within scope, managing budgets, maintaining profitability, and supporting timely contract renewals and upsells. You’ll understand how to serve both agency and client interests over the long term.

4. Growth Driver
With a growth mindset, you’ll spot and nurture opportunities to expand accounts through consultative selling. Whether identifying service gaps, championing innovative ideas, or collaborating with delivery leads to pitch new solutions, you’ll play a direct role in growing account value.
