Role: Head of Client Performance
Location: Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0PQ
Hours: 8.45am - 5.15pm (Monday to Friday)
Package: Up to £90,000 OTE
As Head of Client Performance, your role is to lead the evolution of PHMG's client model, creating a Partner Services proposition that delivers greater client value, deeper product adoption and stronger long-term relationships.
This is a transformation leadership role. You will help define the vision for Partner Services, translate it into a practical operating model and lead the cross-functional change required to deliver it.
A separate transformation focus exists around client activation and onboarding, but the client experience must operate as one connected journey. You will therefore work closely with the Head of Client Performance (Activation), with both roles expected to lean into each other's areas where the client outcome requires it.
The role requires the mindset and experience of a senior management consultant: able to move between strategy and execution, structure complex problems, facilitate senior stakeholders, challenge constructively and create momentum across organisational boundaries.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the vision, design and delivery of PHMG’s transformation from Client Services to Partner Services
- Define the future Partner Services operating model, ensuring it creates measurable value for clients and the business
- Build and deliver a clear transformation roadmap, establishing priorities, ownership, investment requirements and measures of success
- Take an end-to-end view of the client journey, ensuring onboarding, activation and ongoing Partner Services operate as a connected experience
- Design a scalable Partner Services model that combines Partner Manager ownership, specialist expertise, technology, automation and proactive service
- Define how the client experience should vary according to client needs, value, complexity, product portfolio and maturity
- Establish how PHMG creates, demonstrates and increases client value through stronger engagement, product adoption, optimisation and specialist support
- Use client, commercial, operational and product insight to identify opportunities, prioritise improvements and measure the impact of transformation activity
- Develop and test new Partner Services propositions and commercial opportunities through structured pilots and evidence-led decision making
- Lead cross-functional transformation across Client Services, Product, Creative, Technology, Data, Operations, Finance, Sales and Commercial teams, creating alignment and accountability without relying on direct authority
