The Role
As a Director, Client Strategy (Media Director), you are the senior strategic lead and business owner across a portfolio of high-impact client relationships. You serve as a primary lead for the client, bridging the gap between their bottom-line business objectives and our integrated marketing execution, ensuring that every engagement drives measurable business growth while strengthening long-term partnerships.
You are responsible for translating complex business objectives into cohesive, full-funnel marketing strategies across the integrated media ecosystem. This includes architecting the media mix, aligning measurement frameworks, guiding audience strategy, and ensuring cross-channel execution ladders back to enterprise goals.
Beyond strategy development, you are accountable for overall account health—including client satisfaction, retention, revenue growth, and profitability. You serve as a trusted advisor to executive-level client stakeholders while mentoring and leading cross-functional internal teams to deliver exceptional work.
This role requires a balance of visionary strategic thinking and operational rigor. You must be equally comfortable commanding a boardroom conversation as you are guiding internal teams through planning frameworks, testing roadmaps, and performance optimization.

The total compensation package for this role will include benefits (listed above) and an annual performance bonus.
This role has an associated annual target bonus component which is paid out based on a number of factors which include Company performance, department performance, and individual performance.
