Overview
As GCPL, you'll be the senior strategic and commercial leader for a priority global account. You'll own the account P&L, understand the financial levers that drive revenue and margin, and shape the long-term strategy that protects and grows our position with the client — working closely with Operations, Finance, Commercial, Solutions and market teams to keep the account healthy, the pipeline strong, and the right expertise in the right place at the right time.
- Own delivery of annual commit and stretch targets, with a clear retain-and-grow plan across existing revenue, new revenue and scope risk.
- Hold full commercial and P&L leadership for the account — pulling the right levers across pricing, scope, resource mix and operating model to protect and improve profitability.
- Build trusted senior client relationships and lead strategic conversations on growth, efficiency, innovation and operating model evolution.
- Define the 12–24 month account vision, building and converting a qualified pipeline across services, markets, platforms and AI-enabled solutions.
- Champion AI-enabled production, automation and new ways of working that improve speed, quality, scalability or value for the client.
- Partner closely with the Global Client Lead on wider Power of One accounts, mobilising the right Publicis and Groupe capabilities around client need.
- Monitor account health. Relationship strength, scope risk, revenue and margin — escalating early with clear, commercially grounded recommendations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
