We are working with a high-growth, independently-owned global creative and media network built for modern marketing — fast, integrated and production-led.
They're looking for a Business Director to lead a portfolio of key accounts across Southeast Asia.
This is not a passive servicing role. It's for someone who can drive growth within accounts, lead senior client relationships and deliver work at scale and pace.
The Role
You'll be responsible for leading and growing a portfolio of complex, high-value client relationships:
- Account leadership — owning senior client relationships and driving long-term partnership growth
- Revenue expansion — identifying opportunities to increase scope, investment and impact within existing accounts
- Production-led delivery — overseeing high-volume, always-on content ecosystems
- Commercial oversight — ensuring account health, profitability and delivery against commitments
- Cross-functional leadership — working closely with creative, media and production teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Team leadership — coaching and developing a high-performing, diverse team
You'll be the senior voice across your accounts — trusted, credible and commercially sharp.
What Makes This Different
This business is built around output, not just ideas.
- Think scale of content, not sporadic campaigns
- Think real-time execution, not long lead times
- Think production, media and creative operating as one system
Success here is defined by what gets made, how fast it moves and the business impact it drives.
What They're Looking For
- 10+ years in advertising/media, with strong Southeast Asia exposure
- Proven experience leading large, complex client accounts
- Strong understanding of high-volume content and production environments
- Ability to grow accounts commercially — upselling, cross-selling, expanding scope
- Experience working across multi-market, cross-cultural teams
- Excellent communication and presentation skills at senior client level
- Strong people leadership — able to build, motivate and retain teams
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments
The Profile
This suits someone who:
- Knows how to grow accounts, not just manage them
- Is comfortable in production-heavy, always-on environments
- Can balance client needs, team dynamics and commercial outcomes
- Builds trust quickly and leads with confidence
- Thrives without excessive structure
The Opportunity
You'll play a key role in shaping how some of the region's most important brands operate across content, media and culture.
If you're looking for a role where you can lead senior clients, scale output and drive real commercial impact, this is a strong platform.
