About Foundation

Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director or Client Services leadership.
Team: 2–4 direct reports.
What you'll own
The delivery plan for each client on your team, and hitting its dates.
Hands-on work on your most important clients, about half your time.
Your team's day-to-day: priorities, coaching and first review of their work.
Effort estimates for new and changed scope.
The client's working team: status calls and working sessions.
What you bring
5+ years in agency strategy, channel delivery or client services, with some experience leading people or projects.
