Founded in 1919, Olberding Brand Family (OBF) is a family-owned company focused on helping brands Design, Optimize and Protect their most valuable assets. We partner with leading consumer brands to deliver integrated solutions spanning brand strategy, design, adaptive execution, digital capabilities, color management, prepress, and print production.

The Client Business Leader (CBL) is a senior client leader responsible for building strong, strategic partnerships with some of OBF's most important clients.

This role serves as the primary relationship leader for the L’Oréal business and a key day-to-day liaison across the client, OBF, and design agency.
