Ready to take on a senior client role with proper commercial influence? We’re looking for a Client Director for a Leeds-based agency working with clients in regulated and complex sectors, with a strong focus on financial services. This is a great opportunity for someone who understands how to build trust with senior clients, spot growth opportunities and turn strong relationships into longer-term commercial value.
The agency delivers a mix of brand, digital, web, campaign and content work, often for organisations where the detail matters, stakeholders can be complex, and good thinking needs to stand up to proper scrutiny. They’re now evolving how they work with clients, with a growing focus on longer-term partnerships, smarter services and the thoughtful use of AI. This role sits right at the centre of that next stage.
This isn’t a “keep the plates spinning and hope the client renews” kind of role. You’ll be leading key relationships, spotting opportunities, supporting new business and helping develop the client services team around you. If you’re commercially sharp, confident with senior stakeholders, curious about AI and digital, and ready to help clients see what’s possible before they’ve fully spotted it themselves, this could be a very good move.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading a portfolio of client accounts - owning relationships, commercial health and growth
- Spotting opportunities to grow existing accounts through new work, retained arrangements and additional services
- Supporting new-business pitches, bringing sector knowledge and credibility into the room
- Managing and developing the client services team, setting standards and helping people grow
- Working closely with strategy, technical and creative leads to shape proposals and delivery
- Staying close to developments in AI and digital that matter to clients in regulated or complex sectors
- Bringing useful, relevant ideas into client conversations - not AI for AI’s sake
- Helping shape the agency’s move towards longer-term client partnerships and more defined services
What You’ll Bring to the Table
