• Client Leadership: Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, including CMOs, CEOs and business leaders, and confidently lead high-value conversations around transformation, creativity and technology.
• P&L / Commercial Ownership: Drive revenue, pipeline, profitability and overall business performance for the Intelligent Creativity offering.
• Team Leadership: Build, lead and inspire a high-performing, hungry and future-ready team with a strong bias for innovation and execution.

• Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with confidence engaging CEOs, CMOs and senior business stakeholders.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams.
• Highly adaptive, curious and comfortable operating in ambiguity and constant change.
• Ability to navigate and influence across a complex matrix, with strong collaboration skills across Creative, Media, Production and Technology.

• You should be someone who can walk into a CMO's room, understand the business problem, see the opportunity for AI and creativity, bring the right Groupe capabilities together and turn that conversation into a scalable business.
