Job Summary

Company Description

Big client. Big ambition. Zero interest in doing things the usual way.

Weve just won a major financial services client and were building a senior layer to match the opportunity. This is a Digital Director role for someone who wants real influence not just oversight.

Youll lead the digital agenda across a wellresourced highprofile account. The work spans fullfunnel from brand platforms through to highperforming acquisition. The client is engaged commercially mature and ready to push into smarter more innovative ways of working.

This is where you come in.

What youll be responsible for

Youll take ownership of the digital product across your client portfolio shaping strategy that connects business objectives to execution.

That means:

  • Leading endtoend digital strategy across brand and performance

  • Owning the digital component of integrated responses and growth opportunities
  • Leading mentoring and lifting a highperforming team of Digital Managers
  • Ensuring bestinclass planning activation and reporting across campaigns
  • Identifying growth opportunities and driving client investment in smarter digital solutions

You wont just oversee delivery. Youll set the standard.

What were looking for

Youre already operating at a senior level and youre comfortable in the room with clients.

  • Proven experience across both brand and performance environments
  • Strong commercial instinct with the ability to grow accounts
  • Deep understanding of platforms data and measurement frameworks
  • A natural leader who builds and develops highperforming teams
  • Someone who challenges thinking not just executes plans

Most importantly you push beyond the brief. Thats nonnegotiable here.

Why this role is different

  • Scale: A major financial client with meaningful investment
  • Balance: Equal focus on brand storytelling and performance outcomes
  • Autonomy: Youll lead the digital agenda not inherit it
  • Ambition: A client actively looking to innovate not optimise the status quo
