About the role

We are looking for a Client Services Manager to own the delivery and client experience of our custom content projects.

You will take over once a deal is signed. You will manage timelines, coordinate internal teams, and act as the main point of contact for clients. You will also manage a small team and play a key role in improving how we deliver work as we scale.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You will run projects directly while overseeing delivery across the wider team. You will work closely with sales, editorial, design, and operations to ensure projects are delivered on time, on brief, and to a high standard.

We work with clients across life sciences, chemistry, and analytical science. You will manage projects for a technical, science-literate audience, so a background in biology, chemistry, or a related field is essential.

Manage client relationships

• Identify opportunities for repeat work and project expansion
• Work with account managers to support renewals and growth

AI adoption

• Use AI tools to improve efficiency across project management, communication and workflows
• Support the adoption of new tools and ways of working across the team

What we are looking for

• At least 3 years’ experience in a client-facing delivery, account management or project management role, ideally in an agency, media or content environment
• A degree in biology, chemistry or a related scientific discipline
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects at once
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with both clients and senior internal stakeholders
• Commercial awareness, including scope control and identifying growth opportunities
• Experience managing or mentoring team members
• Comfortable using AI tools and open to adopting new technologies
• Driven, proactive and solutions-focused

What success looks like
