This is a senior, strategic leadership role responsible for building and converting a high-value portfolio of international brand clients — driving new contract revenues, protecting and growing existing accounts, and ensuring every key stakeholder within our clients' organisations derives continuous, measurable value from what ADA delivers. </span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW156622957 BCX0" style="margin-bottom:6.66667px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,26,26);"><span style="font-family:DarwinSans;background-color:transparent;"><br /></span><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;">This role requires more than commercial leadership. Our solutions are technically complex — spanning data unification, eCommerce platforms, paid media integration, and AI-driven insights — and difficult to master without a background in data, analytics, or SaaS/technology solutions. The Director must go deep enough into ADA's product, data, and platform capabilities to act as a trusted technical advisor to clients — not solely a relationship owner who defers technical substance to Delivery or Solutions teams. </span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW156622957 BCX0" style="margin-bottom:6.66667px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,26,26);"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;"><br /></span><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;">The Director oversees both the Sales team and the Account Management team, setting the commercial direction, culture, and execution standards across both functions. A core priority of this role is to deeply map the organisational structures of international FMCG and corporate clients, build enduring personal relationships with every key decision-maker and influencer, and create the conditions for long-term revenue growth through trust, technical credibility, value delivery, and consistent upsell. </span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW156622957 BCX0" style="margin-bottom:6.66667px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,26,26);"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;"><br /></span><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;">This is a highly visible leadership role requiring exceptional commercial instinct, executive presence, and genuine technical/data fluency, enabling the individual to operate with credibility at the C-suite level in complex, multi-stakeholder corporate environments — while also being able to advise directly on product and data capabilities. </span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW156622957 BCX0" style="margin-bottom:6.66667px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,26,26);"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:DarwinSans;"><br /></span><b style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(42,51,62);font-size:13.3333px;font-family:Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:DarwinSans;font-size:14px;"><u>ACCOUNTABILITIES / KEY RESPONSIBILITIES</u> </span></b></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW156622957 BCX0" style="margin-bottom:6.66667px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,26,26);"><b style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(42,51,62);font-size:13.3333px;font-family:Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:DarwinSans;font-size:14px;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family:DarwinSans;">Serve as ADA's most senior commercial and technical presence in client engagements for data solutions and Intelligent Commerce — leading executive presentations, strategic workshops, and high-stakes negotiations with credibility, authority, and deep industry and product knowledge.
