At AKQA (part of WPP) we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create beautiful ideas, products and services.

Client Directors are the connective tissue between client and team, guiding relationships with steadiness and care, corralling multidisciplinary talent, and keeping everyone focused on the work that matters most. They lead with judgment and diplomacy, earning trust through substance and follow-through.

We are seeking a Freelance Client Director to lead the relationship with one of the most prestigious and beloved names in the world of sport, a client whose brand is synonymous with tradition, excellence, and a deep reverence for the game. AKQA designs the look, feel, and creative vision for the client's digital experiences, partnering closely with the client and their implementation teams to bring the work to life. This is a role that calls for a steady, diplomatic leader who can collaborate seamlessly with other partners and vendors, protect the integrity of a cherished brand, and keep the entire team focused on delivering with excellence.

  • Strong team management skills, with the ability to corral, motivate, and align a team, including through seasonal ramp-ups
  • A diplomatic, steady presence; you lead with substance and partnership rather than force, and you collaborate well alongside other vendors and partners
  • Familiarity with and appreciation for the game of golf is strongly preferred; the client knows the game deeply and holds a high standard for those who do too
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with the judgment to advise, align, and keep everyone focused on the prize
  • Proactive, organized, and calm under pressure, with the ability to adapt to a changing landscape
  • Collaborative, trustworthy, and motivated by protecting and elevating a beloved brand
