Welcome to ITG, a leading tech-led marketing business that is revolutionizing the marketing industry. We are definitely not your average agency. Our unique combination of world-class marketing services and award-winning technology has helped over 200 of the world’s best known brands transform their marketing operations.
We are really proud to be one of the largest independent agencies and we are still only 15 years old. We have specialist teams and amazing talent covering data science, strategy, creative, digital, film and photography, content production, technology and more.
As we continue to grow, our culture and values mean more to us than ever. We put everything we have into everything we do, we thrive on challenge and always ask the big questions. We believe anything is possible when we work together and we are at our best when we are free to be our authentic selves. We are, put simply, a bunch of brilliant and very grounded people who love where we work and want to help our clients deliver amazing results.
So, if you are looking for a leadership role in a genuinely disruptive and visionary agency, and our culture and values feel ‘like you’, we’d love you to consider joining us.
As one of our Managing Partner community, reporting into our CCO, you will be an integral part of our leadership team and will have the opportunity to shape the future of our business.

• Lead, inspire and mentor a team of Business Directors to deliver exceptional professional and personal development.

Ideally, you will have experience here too but if you haven’t, this is why you are applying for the role!
• Have integrated marketing experience (client or agency side) and the desire to have a voice at the table with our clients, always adding value to every brief and the way in which we deliver against it.
