Full-Time Client Partner

Client Growth & Project Leadership
Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)

​

About Steelworks:
Steelworks is a boutique CGI and motion design studio crafting stunning content across digital, social, broadcast, and experiential platforms. Our work is rooted in design, elevated by technology, and driven by a deep care for storytelling and execution. We partner with forward-thinking brands and agencies, and we're focused on building long-term creative relationships while continuously pushing the work.

​

We're currently looking for a full-time Client Partner to anchor our growth and client services presence in New York.

 

Your Role:

​

You’ll work closely with the Head of Production, Creative Directors, and Studio Founder to build and grow client relationships. This is a dual-role position: part client partner, part strategic lead. As a key member of our New York presence, you’ll play a central role in shaping long-term partnerships with agencies and brands across industries like beauty, fashion, tech, and luxury. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to clients, not just during live projects, but throughout the relationship, ensuring their goals are clearly understood and represented. Internally, you’ll collaborate closely with production and creative teams to support alignment and momentum, acting as a connective tissue between client vision and project execution.

​

We’re not looking for a traditional salesperson, we’re looking for someone who understands the nuances of CGI production and post, can build genuine confidence with clients, and thrives in a collaborative, creative environment. That said, a proven ability to bring in new business is essential. This role requires someone with a strong sales track record who can identify opportunities, win work, and build long-term, strategically valuable relationships. You’ll help us grow the business sustainably by aligning client needs with our creative strengths, ensuring each project elevates both our output and our partnerships.

​

We believe the best work happens when there’s trust, openness, and a shared excitement to create something meaningful.
That’s why we’re looking for someone who feels like more than just a teammate, someone we can laugh with, share ideas with, and grow alongside, while representing Steelworks with heart and creativity.

  • Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable owning relationships from first contact through delivery
     

  • Thrive in a collaborative environment where curiosity, clarity, and ambition are valued
     

 

What We Offer:
