About the Role
Aquent Studios is seeking a visionary Managing Director to lead a large-scale, high-profile engagement with a global enterprise technology client and drive both business growth and operational excellence.

  • Build and scale teams aligned to business growth and evolving client needs
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Provide clear direction, coaching, and performance feedback
Quality, Innovation & Strategy
  • Champion excellence across creative, design, and development outputs
  • Act as an AI Innovator-evaluating current work and identifying opportunities to enhance it through AI and emerging technologies
  • Ensure innovation is grounded in strong business judgment and creative quality, not technology for its own sake
  • Balance innovation with brand integrity-ensuring all advancements align with client standards, voice, and constraints typical of a global enterprise brand
  • Identify and implement emerging trends, tools, and industry best practices
  • Act as a strategic leader within Aquent Studios, contributing to broader organizational growth
Communication & Governance
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for senior stakeholders across a complex, matrixed organization

  • Hands-on experience integrating AI into workflows, with a clear understanding of where it adds value in enterprise environments
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
  • Experience working with large global technology or enterprise clients
  • Background in experiential design or digital transformation initiatives
  • Experience delivering both live and digital event-based work
