Client Director – retail fashion brand – EMEA remit – global agency – £highsixfigs – London

I am looking for an exceptional individual who would relish the chance to run a well known retail brand across 7 EMEA markets.  Based in the London hub agency, a global outfit with a fantastic reputation, this role requires someone who lives and breaths retail or fashion and who has experience of heading up multi-million pound international clients.

Covering a huge variety of services including brand marketing, large-scale social media & content, issues & crisis, all experiential, all csr and all corporate communiations, the Director who will lead this client needs to be skills in many pr disciplines although probably as a heritage in consumer communications.

The role as it currently stands will see you taking on this role at least 70% of the time, with the remainder of your time being offered up for discussion and could include a number of options: a partner role across global consumer, a London based office managerial role, a global client services lead… all of these are possible for the right person.

The client is looking for someone who will be their senior counsel, their sounding board, their ear.  Someone who has sound judgement, who is able to push back and challenge the status quo. They are not looking for a Yes person.

The London agency team are a great bunch and given this role works across almost every department within the building, you’ll get to mate new friends everywhere you go!  You will be naturally outgoing, confident and have gravitas, but you’ll also be a ‘dooer’ – not someone steeped in process.

In return for your hard work you’ll work with great people, for an agency that is winning awards all the time – you’ll be peers with a talented group of senior director – and you’ll get to work with a highly creative, very acedemic bunch of people that are producing great work.

You:

  • 15 years min pr experience
  • Previously worked for global agencies / global clients
  • Worked with clients where the remit is wider than consumer
  • Gravitas, confidence
  • Retail experience ; interest in fashion
