- Leading the team by example, helping them be better every day and keeping client centricity at the core of the team culture and values. You’ll help them to grow the business by being our clients’ closest partner throughout and take responsibility for their delivery, attention to detail, quality and relationships.
- Taking the lead on projects where we are first – either in absolute terms or in our clients’ world – and relishing the challenge this presents.
- Driving the scoping, set up, resourcing and implementation of large projects ensuring the right team is activated and the projects are set up for success.

- Experience across the full range of marketing channels - from TV and DOOH to email and social, starting with creative concepting and right through to final delivery.
- First-rate communication and storytelling skills, in person, on camera, in email and on ppt – with a preference for picking up the phone rather than emailing.
- Strong creative appreciation with the ability to generate ideas and practically contribute to the end-to-end creative process.
- The confidence, empathy and pragmatism to allow you to stand up for what we think is creatively and strategically right – but recognise stakeholder demands on our client teams.
- The ability to manage and develop a team and grow our business.
- The personality to fit into our team quickly, build relationships and add value.
- Experience of Financial Services or other large-scale accounts in regulated and/or corporate industries, such as utilities or telecoms.
