• Senior‑level experience within a marketing or creative agency (ideally in a new business, client services, or leadership role).
• Proven track record of winning large accounts and leading successful pitches to major UK brands.
• Strong understanding of social media, influencer, or digital marketing services.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills with the ability to build trust with senior stakeholders.
• Commercially driven with strong negotiation and strategic planning ability.
• Credible, professional, and confident representing an agency at board or C‑suite level.
• Able to commute to the West Yorkshire office one or two days per week.

The Package

• Salary up to £60,000 plus a generous commission structure.
• Flexible hybrid working (typically two days per week in the office).
• Opportunity to attend major industry events across the UK and internationally.
• Brand‑new creative office space in West Yorkshire.
