Digital Director

Company Description\n

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

\n

We’ve just won a major financial services client and we’re building a senior layer to match the opportunity. This is a Digital Director role for someone who wants real influence, not just oversight.

\n

You’ll lead the digital agenda across a well‑resourced, high‑profile account. The work spans full‑funnel, from brand platforms through to high‑performing acquisition. The client is engaged, commercially mature, and ready to push into smarter, more innovative ways of working.

\n

This is where you come in.

\nWhat you’ll be responsible for\n

You’ll take ownership of the digital product across your client portfolio, shaping strategy that connects business objectives to execution.

\n

That means:

\n

\n
• Leading end‑to‑end digital strategy across brand and performance
\n
• Acting as a true client partner, solving business problems, not just media briefs
\n
• Driving innovation across channels, platforms and data capability
\n
• Owning the digital component of integrated responses and growth opportunities
\n
• Leading, mentoring and lifting a high‑performing team of Digital Managers
\n
• Ensuring best‑in‑class planning, activation and reporting across campaigns
\n
• Identifying growth opportunities and driving client investment in smarter digital solutions
\n

\n

You won’t just oversee delivery. You’ll set the standard.

\nWhat we’re looking for\n

You’re already operating at a senior level and you’re comfortable in the room with clients.

\n

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

\n

Most importantly, you push beyond the brief. That’s non‑negotiable here.

\nWhy this role is different\n

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