The role

• Take full ownership of a portfolio of strategic media and technology clients, shaping and executing data and AI‐led account strategies.
• Deepen senior stakeholder relationships (C‐suite, product, marketing, data leaders) and act as a trusted advisor on how to turn data and AI into measurable business outcomes.
• Lead end‐to‐end account growth: spotting opportunities, crafting value propositions, coordinating internal teams, and delivering renewals and upsell.
• Work closely with data science, engineering, and product teams to design solutions spanning data platforms, analytics, and AI use cases across the media and tech landscape.
• Operate in a hybrid London model, balancing on‐site client time and focused remote work.

What my client is looking for

• Ability to translate business problems into data/AI solutions and tell a clear commercial story around value and ROI.
• Confident communicator who can operate comfortably with executives and cross‐functional internal teams.
• London‐based or able to commute regularly for hybrid working.

Why talk to me about this

• Direct access to the hiring leadership team, clear feedback, and a transparent process.
