Following some game-changing new business wins we’re at an exciting crossroads and recruiting for various roles across the agency, including an Account Executive or Manager to support an exciting mix of telecoms, retail & public sector clients.

What we’re looking for:

- A brave inights & ideas person, who could work with our team and clients to bring these to life across integrated channels – from packaging and print to content and broadcast campaigns

- A great project manager, who can juggle priorities and deadlines, and manage budgets, timings, resourcing and reporting across their accounts

- A savvy self-starter who dives in and has a go, and draws on the right people and process to get to the best output

- A natural collaborator, who is responsive and can liaise closely with colleagues, clients and suppliers to keep everyone updated and manage expectations

- A eye for detail and stickler for best practice, always making sure the finished article is on brand and on brief

- Minimum 1 year in an agency role, with integrated marketing experience.

We’re not looking for the finished article, but someone with agency experience who is excited by what we’re doing as a challenger agency and looking for the next step in their career.
