• A strategic operator who understands how creativity works inside large brands
• Strong commercial instincts — you know how to grow accounts and build long-term value
• Excellent relationship-builder, confident navigating C-suite conversations
• Experience in or around creative agencies, marketing consultancies, or brand-side creative leadership
• Comfortable with data, reporting, and supporting performance evaluation
• Someone who thrives in a growing team and fast-paced environment

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years in account development, brand strategy, or creative consultancy
• Experience working across multiple stakeholders — from strategy to delivery
• A genuine passion for creativity and a belief in its value to business
