McCann Philippines is looking for an Associate Business Unit Head to lead one of our core business units.

You will own the commercial performance, client partnerships, and creative effectiveness of a major portfolio within the agency.

This role sits at the intersection of creativity, culture, and commercial accountability.

What You’ll Lead

• Grow existing client business and identify organic opportunities.
• Lead new‑business prospecting, pitch strategy, and win plans.
• Own pricing, scoping, and margin health across the business unit.
• Ensure contracts, LOAs, MSAs, and approvals are accurate and in place.
• Client Leadership
• Build trusted, senior‑level client partnerships.
• Translate client needs into clear strategic direction for teams.
• Lead high‑stakes planning, presentations, and major initiatives.
• Maintain strong client satisfaction and long‑term partnerships.
• Product & Creative Effectiveness
• Champion work that is creatively strong, culturally resonant, and effective.
• Ensure ideas are grounded in insight, strategy, and real business impact.
• Raise the standard of thinking, craft, and delivery across disciplines.
• People & Culture
• Develop high‑performing, inclusive teams.
• Coach and grow future leaders within the business unit.
• Build a culture of clarity, accountability, and psychological safety.
• Live and model McCann’s values in everyday leadership.
  

What We’re Looking For

• Proven senior leadership experience in an agency or adjacent creative business.
• Strong track record in client leadership, revenue growth, and margin management.
• Strategic thinker who can move seamlessly from big‑picture direction to execution.
• Credible, calm leader who earns trust with clients and teams.
• Deep respect for creativity, culture, and people, paired with commercial rigor.
  
  

Why McCann

You’ll be leading meaningful brands, ambitious teams, and work that matters, inside a globally respected agency with a strong local culture.

This is a role for leaders who want real ownership, not just a title.
