The role of Client Services Director is one of strong leadership. Overseeing several teams and accounts, they are seasoned agency professionals with an excellent grasp of the full marketing mix. The Account Directors and Group Account Directors will report on issues as well as account performance, allowing the Client Services Director to offer support and steer where necessary. They will have overall budgetary responsibility ensuring the agency is running accounts at a profitable margin and will often have control over recruitment to make sure the team is adequately staffed. The Client Services Director will sit on the management team or be part of the board, looking at the agency’s proposition as a whole, adapting and evolving to ensure continuous business growth. Although agency experience is important as part of the CV, not all account handlers develop into Client Services Directors. The role requires a real business head and commercial drive and is generally hands off from the day to day campaigns. The larger agencies aside, you will normally only find one Client Services Director per agency making theses roles (and experienced CSD candidates) highly sought after. Salary wise outside of London the role generally pays between £65,000 to £90,000 depending on regional variance and level of experience.
