As GCPL, you'll be the senior strategic and commercial leader for a priority global account. You'll own the account P&L, understand the financial levers that drive revenue and margin, and shape the long-term strategy that protects and grows our position with the client — working closely with Operations, Finance, Commercial, Solutions and market teams to keep the account healthy, the pipeline strong, and the right expertise in the right place at the right time.

• Own delivery of annual commit and stretch targets, with a clear retain-and-grow plan across existing revenue, new revenue and scope risk.
• Hold full commercial and P&L leadership for the account — pulling the right levers across pricing, scope, resource mix and operating model to protect and improve profitability.
• Build trusted senior client relationships and lead strategic conversations on growth, efficiency, innovation and operating model evolution.
• Define the 12–24 month account vision, building and converting a qualified pipeline across services, markets, platforms and AI-enabled solutions.
• Champion AI-enabled production, automation and new ways of working that improve speed, quality, scalability or value for the client.
• Partner closely with the Global Client Lead on wider Power of One accounts, mobilising the right Publicis and Groupe capabilities around client need.
• Monitor account health. Relationship strength, scope risk, revenue and margin — escalating early with clear, commercially grounded recommendations.

• Proven experience owning or being commercially accountable for a client account, business unit or P&L of significant scale (£10m+), including margin and revenue performance.
• Senior client leadership experience from a production company, creative agency, consultancy or in-house client environment — with a strong grasp of production, content and marketing operations.
• A strategic thinker who understands a client's business context, anticipates future needs and shapes long-term account growth.
• Comfortable managing complex, global, regional and local stakeholder ecosystems — resilient, level-headed and a strong filter under pressure.
• Confident discussing AI, automation and new production operating models in practical, client-relevant terms.
• Willingness to travel internationally and domestically in line with client and business needs, including regular travel to Switzerland.
