Key Responsibilities
- P&L & Corporate Strategy: You hold full ownership of the UK P&L. You will define the Go-To-Market strategy, manage budgets, and drive strong, sustainable EBITDA growth.
- New Business & Rainmaking: You are the face of Eskimoz in the UK. Leveraging your C-level network, you will open doors to Enterprise and Global Brands, pitching at the highest executive levels.
- Leadership & Organizational Design: You will scale the agency to the next level. This involves recruiting top talent, structuring the middle management layer (Head of SEO, Head of Paid, COO), and fostering a culture of excellence, performance, and agility.
- Product Vision & Offering: You will evolve the UK positioning, integrating more Data, AI, and cross-channel strategies to solve the complex profitability challenges of modern CMOs.
- Executive Track Record: Proven experience as a Managing Director, VP or Senior Head in a top-tier digital agency.

- Performance & Data DNA: You have a deep understanding of SEO, Paid Media, and Data. You can talk "algorithms and technicalities" with your delivery teams and "Business Outcomes and Incrementality" with your clients.
