About the role
Are you ready to lead creative work for some of the world’s most loved consumer brands? We’re looking for a Senior Client Manager who’s passionate about branding, thrives in the fast‑moving world of Drinks and CPG, and knows how to turn ambitious ideas into standout results. This is a role at the heart of brand‑building, where strategy meets design, and packaging tells a story. You’ll work with major global players across food, personal care, beauty, and wellbeing, managing high‑profile projects that shape the way consumers engage with brands on‑shelf and beyond.
From bold redesigns to subtle evolutions, multi‑market rollouts to sustainability‑led innovation, you’ll drive projects from concept through to delivery. Partnering closely with cross‑functional teams of strategists, designers, and creatives, you’ll ensure the work delivers against both creative ambition and commercial goals, on time, on budget, and on brief.
About you
You’ll bring a solid background in brand, design, or creative agencies, with experience leading complex packaging and design projects for large‑scale, global CPG brands. You’re comfortable working within brand frameworks, navigating multi‑market rollouts, and balancing creativity with commercial know‑how. You’re organised, proactive, and thrive on managing moving parts with clarity and precision. You communicate with confidence and empathy, whether you’re presenting ideas, solving challenges, or aligning a team around a shared goal. Your attention to detail is matched by your ability to see the bigger picture, keeping projects on track without losing sight of the end vision.
Above all, you’re someone who brings energy, curiosity, and a sense of ownership to your work. You love working collaboratively, enjoy building strong relationships, and are excited by the chance to contribute to brands that people genuinely care about.
Why us?
We’re passionate about our people and their careers. We’ll help you develop your skills and provide you with outstanding benefits. So you’ll have a chance to make your mark on our future, as we make a mark on yours. We’re proud to be the world’s most awarded brand design agency, with 28 Cannes Lions to our name and Creative Review Annual’s Most Creative Design Agency of the Year 2024. You’ll get to take new projects to award‑winning potential, as part of a connected team of brilliant, tenacious people right by your side and across the world.
We believe the best work happens when we’re together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That’s why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
