Job description

Description

If you're passionate about building strong relationships with people and keen to develop your career with a business that will support and empower you - welcome to our team.

As a culture, brand and communications business, we shape cultures that bring out the best in colleagues. We create meaningful brands that connect with people. And we craft communications that inspire positive action. We also practise what we preach. So, as one of our Client Managers, we might expect a lot from you - but we'll offer you a lot in return.

You'll be kept busy, challenged and interested managing our clients' marketing campaigns and ensuring they run smoothly. Engaging clients, leading meetings and managing client relationships will all be part of your remit. You'll report on campaign performance for universities and business schools - spotting opportunities to maximise performance, leading on campaign planning and negotiating with media channels.

Requirements

You'll need the confidence to build relationships, be highly organised, adaptable and detailed focussed. Agency experience is a must, gained either as a manager or senior executive and should be passionate about making a difference through marketing. Ideally, you'll also have knowledge of education marketing. Although this isn't a dealbreaker.

Benefits

We're proud to shape award-winning brands, cultures and communications that connect with people. And we care about supporting our people too, which is why you'll enjoy benefits that include 30 days of annual leave a year (plus bank holidays), hybrid working, healthcare apps, and two charity volunteering days a year. So, if you're as passionate as we are about making a difference through marketing, join us.

We are a culture, brand and communications business on a mission to make opportunity, reward and progress equal for all.
