Back to jobs Senior Client Manager (m/f/d) Cologne About Interbrand Interbrand understands what it takes today to build the world’s most iconic brands. To support our clients in an ever more complex and fascinating world, we have renewed our commitment to both common global standards and greater empowerment, experimentation and entrepreneurialism. Interbrand is its people.

We are a global team of highly diverse thinkers, makers and collaborators. We are proud of our heritage and often regarded as the university of branding. Over the past four decades, we have pioneered iconic work and invented many of the brand building tools that are now commonplace.

In collaboration with many of the world’s leading brands, we are pioneering the future of brand building. In a world where people’s expectations are moving faster than businesses, we give our clients the confidence to make Iconic Moves that create desire and utility, reshape the competitive landscape and drive extraordinary results.

The Interbrand Best Global

Brands study/rankings are resources to our clients and the industry, providing proprietary data and insight for our role as client partner and commentator. We have published 18 books on brands and are often the reference point for university curriculum and professional associations. Today, through our own Academy, we aim to be the most impactful learning setting in the marketing world.

Our Behaviours

Our culture is informed by a set of behaviours we co-created as a business. Our behaviours give us space to experiment, permission to speak out, and a model of leadership that anyone in the business can adopt. Our behaviours are Lead with love, Be Brave, Listen First and Make it happen. We are proud of our behaviours. They make us, us.

LOCATION: Cologne, Germany POSITION: Full time FLEXIBILITY: Hybrid (3 days office attendance per week) DEPARTMENT: Client Management START DATE: TBD The opportunity You are a reliable driver of client work, with a developing strategic mindset. You own and run projects independently, leading defined multiple workstreams, transitioning from delivering projects to managing them alongside peers. You align stakeholders, shape clear decision paths, and keep scope, schedule, and quality in balance, connecting great work with commercial performance.

What You’ll Be Doing Manage multiple client projects, making decisions about approach, investment, and who we involve

Develop and present recommendations to clients, shaping what we propose rather than just executing someone else's plan

Identify where clients need more from us and bring growth opportunities to the business with a clear case for investment

Run project delivery with rigour on scope, timeline, budget, and margins, managing through complexity and ambiguity

Mentor and guide team members on your workstreams, setting standards and building their capability

Work with senior team members to stress test thinking and refine your approach on bigger or newer challenges

Lead cross-discipline partners to deliver at pace and quality, taking responsibility for outcomes

Anticipate client needs and navigate conversations proactively so we stay ahead of problems

Proactively meet with Discipline leads to understand new approach, ways of working or offers to integrate and support this growth

You ensure the work is underpinned by the Thinking & Making philosophy and introduces elements of the Three Lenses





Manage outcomes and pressure thoughtfully for you and the team, by staying pragmatic and positive What We’re Looking For Experience - Track record of running multiple projects with strong commercial outcomes. Great client relationships with positive feedback. Relationships - You build trust at senior client levels and across internal department leaders.

You understand their business deeply enough to spot where we can add real value and push back when needed to support delivery management and the wellbeing of internal teams. Curiosity - You see patterns across projects and clients. You connect what's happening in their world to opportunities for us to do meaningful work whether that’s within our agency or the broader Omnicom world.

You think what’s best for the work and client to create Iconic Moves. Commerciality - You think independently about what makes sense commercially. You weigh complexity, investment, and return, and you're confident making the case internally, knowing how to influence and negotiate.

Communication - You present with clarity and confidence. You articulate strategic thinking in ways that move people to action and decision because you also chair and facilitate the decision-making process.

Why Interbrand For over 50 years, we’ve been shaping the world’s most iconic brands. We solve brand challenges through our Thinking & Making approach, combining Human Truth, Brand Economics, and Experience to help our clients make the moves that unlock growth and define what’s next. We nurture a global community of thinkers and makers with the curiosity and confidence to create iconic work.

Here, you’ll find transparent career pathways, on-demand learning, honest feedback, real collaboration across borders, and a culture that champions difference and wellbeing. We don’t do ordinary. And we don’t expect you to either.
