VP Finance

Engagement​

Page Executive’s partnership with the Client was based on trust thanks to the team’s 7-year-strong rapport with its CCO, the understanding of the culture, and an existing  track record of senior placements within the media and advertising world.

Apart from the role-specific requirements, the team put an emphasis on identifying candidates with the right personality. The successful candidate needed to be able to foster strong relationships with multiple senior stakeholders within the Client’s agency brands, as well as with its customers and other external partners. 

Sourcing​

With well-defined search parameters, the Page Executive team reached out to candidates on LinkedIn and also connected with some of the candidates the team placed several years ago who would be ready to consider their next role. Apart from the overall remit, pitching the VP Global Client Finance Director role as one that would report directly to the CCO - a well-reputed industry professional - proved to be an effective strategy to engage relevant candidates. 

Assessment​

Candidates were assessed on their experience of managing a large portfolio and revenue with an agency at the corporate-level. A shortlist of eight candidates was sent to the CCO. Each candidate was interviewed.

Delivery​

Five out of the eight shortlisted candidates progressed onto the next round of interviews. Following one-on-one interviews with the CCO, the candidate was selected. The assignment took six weeks from the brief-to-offer stage. ​
