Client Director - retail agency in Leeds

Our client is a leading integrated agency based in Leeds. With a very strong bias towards retail clients, they have a very impressive roster of big name brands.  We're currently looking for a Client Director to join the team.  To be considered for this role, it is essential that you have a pedigree agency background which predominantly focuses on retail client.  At the Client Director level we are looking for someone with sound leadership and team management skills, particularly good at developing junior team members and leading by example.  You'll be a senior client point of contact and will be involved in the key planning and strategy decisions but then absolutely in the thick of the delivery with your team.  There will be some European travel.  You will head up a key sports retail account so it would help if you love sport/fashion/athleisure.  Currently the work is very print production focused with lots of promotional work, in-store, POS and local marketing.  The pace is fast and you'll need to be a calm and measured individual with superb organisational skills and able to pass this onto your team whilst managing client expectations.  The agency has expanded significantly over the last few years and this growth is set to continue in 2019 and beyond. They look after their people and it's a sociable and down to earth culture.  To find out more, please contact Fiona Christian ASAP.
