What will you be doing?
The Global Client Partner will take a pivotal leadership role at the heart of one of the agency’s most high-profile, integrated client partnerships. You will own the senior client relationships, play a central role across the account and work with a cross-functional team to define, develop and execute new processes and procedures aimed at driving growth for the clients’ business and maintain healthy financials internally
You will be responsible for shaping and stewarding a long-term growth strategy for the client, working in close collaboration with senior client stakeholders and internal agency leaders to elevate media as a core driver of business performance.
