ABOUT US_
At Talon, we provide our clients with world class service, technology, and collaboration to create exceptional OOH campaigns that deliver measurable results.
In our first 10 years, our desire to offer intelligent, creative, technology-led OOH solutions and a full-service OOH offering saw us grow into a team of over 230 people located in key cities across the globe.
We’re passionate about OOH and are on a mission to drive the growth of this sector within the media industry – changing perceptions of it as a legacy medium to one that is highly effective, creative, sustainable, and measurable for our clients.
THE ROLE_
As Talon and Grand Visual’s international business expands, it’s time to bring in our next star team member to help us deliver best in class creative OOH and experiential planning across the globe. Starting in Europe, the International Client Director will be responsible for setting up and reviewing commercial partnerships, ensuring we’re working with the best and most innovative suppliers.
As the International Client Director this role will also be responsible for responding to creative and experiential briefs globally alongside our studio and client service teams based in London and New York. Whilst briefs often cover all regions, this role will focus on markets outside of the UK and USA.
It’s important to note that responding to a brief is never a solo task but you should be capable of ideating alone and bringing creative ideas to the table on the fly. We believe the best ideas come from collaboration, but you won’t always have a team around you.
The role will also involve a lot of PowerPoint. Our ideas are sold through awesome, visual, and dynamic decks that we present to clients.
Once you’ve sold the creative dream and a project approves, our production team will take over the heavy lifting alongside you to ensure we deliver the best possible campaign.
This role reports directly into the Grand Visual leadership team with a dotted line reporting into the Business Director at Talon International.
