We’re on the hunt for a seasoned client director/business director with solid experience in leading large-scale retail accounts and a proven ability to work across multiple channels — including traditional, digital, and particularly retail media.

• Drive business growth through client development, identifying new opportunities within the account.
• Be the custodian of timelines, budgets, and overall campaign effectiveness.
• Lead and mentor a client service team, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and high performance.

What do you need?

• 8–10+ years’ experience in client service within an agency environment, with at least 3 years at a senior leadership level.
• Demonstrated experience managing large retail clients and retail media campaigns.
• Solid understanding of the full marketing mix – ATL, BTL, digital, media, in-store, and shopper marketing.
• Strong financial acumen, including budget management and forecasting.
