Director of client partnerships in London

Infogr8 brings data to life in memorable, useful ways, surfacing what is true, making it understandable, and designing it into the moments where decisions happen, across interfaces, communication, and everyday work. That belief sits behind 14 years of recognised work for organisations including Spotify, Moody’s, Harvard and the World Health Organization, supported by a wider network of specialists across data, design, strategy and technology.

We are looking for a Director of Client Partnerships to help grow meaningful data visualisation, data storytelling and insight-led digital work with ambitious clients. This is a senior commercial and strategic role for someone who understands how to build trust around complex, high-value work. You do not need to be a data visualisation practitioner, but you should understand why evidence-led design, audience-first communication and useful digital products matter. For the right person, this is a pathway to Managing Director.

The opportunity

Many clients come to us asking for an output: a report, a dashboard, a website, a data visualisation or a toolkit. Often, the bigger opportunity is helping them clarify the problem, shape the evidence, design the experience and make the work more useful over time. This role is about recognising that opportunity, building the relationship around it and helping Infogr8 grow in a focused, high-quality way.

The kind of person

You are good in the room. You listen carefully, ask sharp questions and help clients work out what they really need. You are commercially confident, but not salesy. You know how to build trust, shape a proposal, price sensibly and keep momentum without forcing the wrong fit. You care about the quality of the work. The best relationships grow because the work lands well, gets used and opens up the next conversation.

What you’ll be trusted with

• Growing the right opportunities – Own pipeline quality, opportunity shaping and account growth, moving from one-off projects into deeper partnerships, retainers and multi-phase programmes.
• Building senior relationships – Develop relationships with directors, founders, communications leads, research leads, product owners, policy teams and innovation teams.
• Shaping better briefs – Help clients move from vague ambition to clear scope through discovery conversations, workshops, proposals and strategic framing.
• Packaging the offer – Make Infogr8’s services easier to understand, buy and repeat across data storytelling, dashboards, insight products, reports, digital tools and measurement.
• Working closely with delivery – Partner with strategists, designers, developers and data specialists to protect both the client relationship and the quality of the final output.

Useful experience

We would be interested in people with experience across some of:

• Client partnerships, business development, account leadership or consulting.
• Selling or shaping complex creative, digital, research, design, data or technology work.
• Building senior stakeholder relationships.
• Developing proposals, scopes, pricing and commercial narratives.
• Growing accounts from first project to longer-term partnership.

You do not need to come from a pure data visualisation background. You do need to respect the craft, understand the value of the work and help clients see why it matters.

Good signs this could suit you

• You can turn ambiguity into a clear next step.
• You like building relationships that grow over time.
• You are comfortable with senior conversations, but still enjoy shaping a good brief.
• You want ownership rather than a narrow sales role.
• You are excited by the space where data, design, AI, storytelling and decision-making meet.

What you’ll help shape

You will help build the growth engine around Infogr8’s next chapter: clearer offers, stronger partnerships, better repeatability and a sharper role in the data visualisation and insight ecosystem. The founder Richard Silvester, is moving into a Chairman-style role while staying close to positioning and key relationships. That creates room for a client leader to step forward, shape the partnerships function and grow with the business.

How to apply

Step one is a short 15-minute culture test. No CV needed yet. If we’re both still interested, we’ll ask for a short note covering:

• A business, account or partnership you helped grow and what you learned.
• Why this opportunity feels interesting now.
• A professional achievement you are proud of and why it mattered.

From there, we’ll move to one chemistry call, one working session and a decision inside two weeks.
