Job description

At Design Bridge and Partners we believe design is the most powerful means of driving positive change. Whatever the business. Whatever the challenge. Because design answers the big questions. Reshaping how organisations behave and how people experience the world. So we’re redefining what design is and what design can do for brands, businesses, people and planet.

We see design as the thread that unifies brand across strategy, identity, experience, and guardianship. With 850 people in 12 countries, our clients include NASA Artemis, Unilever, Coca‑Cola, Microsoft, Diageo, Mastercard, Intel, Mondelez, Tencent, HSBC, Colgate, Reckitt, Fortnum & Mason and the BBC.

About the role

We’re looking for a Client Director to lead strategic and creative programmes for one of our largest global enterprise clients in the technology and telecommunications space. This role is all about building strong, trusted relationships while steering significant brand initiatives across areas such as visual identity, brand guidelines, brand design and strategy, and ongoing brand guardianship.

You’ll work closely with Client Leadership, guiding multi‑workstream projects from scoping through to delivery. You’ll play a central role in shaping project costings, managing timelines and ensuring commercial control, all while championing the highest standards of creative output. Collaboration across Strategy, Creative and Production teams will be key as you bring clarity, structure and momentum to complex and fast‑moving programmes. Experience within a leading branding or creative agency, especially with enterprise‑scale clients, would be a strong advantage.

About you

You’re an exceptional communicator who leads with clarity, curiosity and confidence. You bring energy and optimism to every interaction and are able to inspire both clients and internal teams. You’re naturally proactive, with a strong grasp of brand and marketing challenges, and you’re able to manage expectations with good judgment and a solutions‑oriented mindset. You understand how to navigate large organisations, build meaningful relationships, and keep projects moving with a sense of purpose.

Above all, you’re passionate about strategic and creative brand development and the impact it can have on business and culture.

Why us?

World‑famous brands. National icons. Technology unicorns. Plucky upstarts no one’s yet heard of. You’ll get to work on all of these, with a team of brilliant, optimistic people right by your side and scattered all across the world.

We’re passionate about our people and their careers. We’ll help you to 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.
