This is a senior client leadership role for someone who can go beyond simply managing relationships. You’ll be expected to own your portfolio like it’s your own business - driving strategy, commercial growth, client relationships and the performance of the team around you.

• Identify and drive organic growth opportunities across your accounts
• Own forecasting, budgets, scope and commercial performance
• Lead and develop a high-performing client team
• Bring together Media, Data and Creative to deliver genuinely integrated solutions
• Challenge clients constructively and act as a strategic partner rather than simply an agency contact
• Help shape the future of the agency, including how they use AI, automation and emerging technology
• Play a wider role in developing the agency's proposition and ways of working

What we’re looking for:

This is a proper senior client leadership role, so you’ll need a strong track record within a performance marketing agency or consultancy environment.

You’ll ideally have:

• Direct experience of ASO and Apple Search Ads (ASA)
• Strong full-funnel performance marketing knowledge
• Excellent commercial and P&L understanding
• Experience owning sizeable client portfolios and driving organic growth
• The confidence and gravitas to operate at C-suite level
• A genuinely consultative approach to client relationships
• Experience leading and developing teams
• An interest in AI, automation and how technology is changing the agency model

You’ll also need a full driving licence and access to a car, as there is some client travel involved.
