About the Role:

We’re looking for a Business Director to lead one of the Client Experience teams at Hearts, whilst leading a mix of accounts and managing an eager team, encouraging team growth and retention.

In this role, you will be responsible for shaping and communicating client experience in and outside the agency. You will have an ambassadorial role in the agency & client community and will be responsible for building relationships with our clients at the highest level.

These clients include Tropicana but there is also the opportunity to work on others within the wider team.

• Tropicana is a category leader - as ‘the OG of OJ’ they are looking to create a distinctive brand in the drinks market through their media behaviour. We also look after Naked smoothies who are looking to make their mark with Gen Z through social and OOH activations.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Making a quick impact and becoming a day-to-day lead
• Developing and orchestrating client relationships & planning output of the account
• Looking to the future with client relationships, owning the client development plan in collaboration with the Client Partner
• Providing air cover and active involvement in critical projects for our clients
• Operating effectively at a horizontal and vertical level, i.e. alongside your Client Experience peers whilst integrating with all other Hearts specialists

Other clients within our patch include Opella (pharmaceuticals), Co Op Bank, TK Maxx, Homesense and Yakult.

Having a range of brands within our team provides a real opportunity to build skills and experience across different categories, as well as more agility and the chance to apply thinking from different areas - an antidote to working on one big client all day, every day.

We’re looking for someone who has considerable experience working as a skilled client operator, delivering a brilliant day-to-day client experience. You will also have demonstrable experience delivering best-in-class media planning, creative ideas and effective campaigns.

You will have strong knowledge of client business challenges and will be confident in challenging conventions, as well as being a skilled project manager with the ability to orchestrate responses alongside wider agency teams. You will also have experience managing and developing a team.

We want everyone to make the most of the opportunity to shine and showcase your talents and we are happy to make adjustments in the recruitment process so you can be your best. Please discuss any specific requirements with your dedicated Talent Acquisition team member or if you would feel more comfortable, you can email us confidentially at [email protected] to let us know how we can support you.
