Client Partner Director
We’re a social and content agency led by talent and fuelled by technology. Since 2008, we’ve been building an integrated, digital-first offering that combines content excellence with channel best practice to drive meaningful performance for our clients. Born in London, we’ve grown into a global agency, partnering with ambitious brands across international markets and delivering work that connects with audiences wherever they are.
As a values-driven agency, our people are our power. We stay ahead of the game by hiring smart thinkers and giving them back what they put in - through rapid progression, industry-leading benefits, and a culture that has been recognised in Campaign’s Best Places to Work for over seven years running.
As we enter our next phase of growth, we’re looking for a senior client-facing leader to play a pivotal role in driving client success, agency growth, and operational excellence across a portfolio of accounts.
The Client Partner Director will act as a trusted advisor to our clients, ensuring our work delivers measurable impact while identifying opportunities for innovation, growth, and deeper partnership. This role will also provide strategic oversight internally, champion cross-disciplinary collaboration, and contribute to the ongoing development of the agency, our culture, and our reputation.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong commercial acumen with creative thinking, alongside deep expertise in social media, and a thorough understanding of clients’ businesses - someone who can operate as a true partner and consultant.
This is an individual contributor role with no direct line management responsibilities. The focus is on building meaningful client relationships, delivering exceptional work, and unlocking new opportunities for growth and innovation.
