Manage the commercial health and P&L of your client cluster, designing growth roadmaps that identify untapped revenue streams.
Bridge the gap between German client headquarters and Monks’ global hubs, ensuring global best practices are localised effectively.
Navigate complex ecosystems, balancing German legal/compliance requirements with the need for agile, real-time content production.
Integrate cross-functional teams across Data, Film, Social, and Tech to ensure campaigns are measurable digital ecosystems.
Mentor and scale a high-performing account team, fostering a "maker" mindset and overseeing professional growth.
Implement rigorous workflows to ensure "Perfect Delivery," commercial scoping, and resource efficiency.
Champion the integration of proprietary AI tools into client workflows to drive efficiency and personalised marketing at scale.
10+ Years of Experience: A proven track record in top-tier agencies or digital consultancies, with at least 5 years leading multi-million Euro accounts.
Industry Authority: Deep knowledge of the Automotive and CPG sectors and the ability to balance long product cycles with rapid social trends.
Commercial Mastery: High financial literacy regarding margins, resource utilization, and negotiating complex MSAs.
Strategic Architecture: The ability to design 12-month digital strategies while managing granular production crises.
Linguistic Power: Professional-level Native German and Fluent English.
Resilience: The ability to remain calm and decisive within a high-pressure, hyper-growth global agency environment.
