Client Partner in London

• Client Partner | dentsu X | London | Permanent | Hybrid
• Overview

Oversee the global media account for a Financial Services client, transforming a complex multi‑market partnership into a more joined‑up, strategic and future‑ready model.

Purpose of the Role

We’re looking for a Client Partner to help oversee the global media account for a Financial Services client for dentsu X.

This is a high‑profile global client role, working across 26 markets with a strong focus in Europe and a growing presence in Asia.

You’ll act as the most senior dedicated person on the account, partnering closely with the Global Client Director and managing the central team to deliver the day‑to‑day client remit while also spotting opportunities for growth, innovation and transformation.

The global client stakeholders and the core dentsu X team are based in Milan, so building strong relationships across locations will be essential.

• What You’ll Do
• Oversee the day‑to‑day running of the global media account, ensuring client requirements, scope of work and priorities are clear, well managed and delivered to a high standard.
• Manage a small, talented central team across account coordination, strategy and digital innovation, balancing high performance with strong people management.
• Help define, activate and scale the global commercial and operating model, creating clarity where there is ambiguity and turning strategy into executable frameworks.
• Align global and local teams around common priorities, outputs and standards, moving the account from decentralised execution towards more joined‑up, scalable systems.
• Build strong senior relationships with global stakeholders, helping shape global media strategy, elevate key outputs and constructively push for better outcomes.
• Identify where innovation can drive real business value across data, AI, media product and customer experience, building a repeatable pipeline that scales successful ideas across markets and contributes to commercial growth.
• How You’ll Succeed
• A clearly defined and widely adopted operating approach replaces fragmented, market‑by‑market execution across the account.
• Strategic output is elevated and more consistent across regions, with markets demonstrating a stronger standard of thinking and a clearer link to business impact.
• Innovation is embedded into the core of planning and activation, shaping the approach rather than sitting on the edges of the account.
• Global and local teams are aligned around common priorities, consistent ways of working and clear accountability.
• The partnership delivers tangible commercial outcomes, with measurable growth opportunities and expanded scope.
• Dentsu X continues to be recognised as a best‑in‑class partner, known for strong strategic direction, innovation and delivery across a complex global account.
• What You’ll Bring
• Significant experience managing complex, multi‑market or global clients, ideally within a media agency or closely related environment.
• Strong media experience across modern media ecosystems, including digital, data and offline channels.
• Proven ability to manage teams, prioritise effectively and develop people in a fast‑moving, high‑expectation account environment.
• Experience transforming ways of working, not just managing them, with the ability to create structure, clarity and momentum.
• Experience conducting strategic discussions with senior clients, building strong working relationships and setting high standards across planning, outputs and market delivery.
• Experience identifying and developing growth opportunities, creating clarity in complex situations and balancing central direction with local market nuance to achieve commercial outcomes.
• Fluency in Italian is highly desirable, but not mandatory. This role requires close coordination with key Italian stakeholders and the ability and willingness to travel to Milan.
