Job description

Overview

Are you a senior, French-speaking Client Director who can take a complex global enterprise account and unlock long-term growth at scale? We are working on a mandated basis with a highly respected, UK-based sales performance and enablement business employing circa 80–90 people globally and generating £11m–£15m in annual revenue. Following the successful win of a major, multi-year global client headquartered in France, the organisation is investing in a dedicated Client Director – Growth to own and expand this strategically critical relationship. This is a UK-based role with regular international travel and offers a rare opportunity to step into a flagship account at a pivotal point in its lifecycle.

This role focuses on deepening and expanding a single, complex global enterprise account rather than new business acquisition. You will lead multi-year account growth, renewals and expansion across regions, divisions and business units, engaging with senior stakeholders at French HQ and internationally. Acting as the commercial lead, you will shape account strategy, coordinate internal delivery teams and ensure consistent global execution. Success will be measured through sustainable revenue growth, long-term partnerships and enterprise-level impact.
