Job description

Up to £45,000 | Hybrid – 6 days in the office per month | Permanent

An agency where the people genuinely make the difference. You spend a pretty big chunk of your life at work, so who you work with matters. A lot.

This is an agency where people are bright, ambitious and very good at what they do, but there no big egos, no airs and graces and no office politics.

They help ambitious B2B brands grow through strategy, creative, digital and performance, bringing together great thinking, good design and data to make sure it actually works.

It’s a collaborative, down-to-earth team where opinions are welcomed, senior people are approachable and you’re trusted to get on with your job.

The role

Projects are integrated, but this role has a lean towards paid media. You’ll be the person clients trust to join the dots.

Working with strategists, creatives, developers and digital specialists, you’ll turn client objectives into clear, effective marketing plans across:

• Paid media
• SEO
• Content and creative
• Analytics
• User journeys and digital strategy

You’ll lead client conversations, shape strategy, challenge thinking and keep projects moving.

You don’t need to be a paid media or SEO guru. There are specialists around you who know their channels inside out. What matters is that you understand the principles, know what good looks like and can explain things clearly to clients.

Basically, you need to be able to have a sensible client conversation without reaching for the jargon bingo card.

What we’re looking for

You’ll probably have 2–4 years’ experience, agency or client-side, with a genuine understanding of digital marketing and how different channels fit together.

B2B experience is important, as is the confidence to talk to senior clients about their brands, customers and commercial objectives.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is comfortable leading client conversations
• Can simplify complicated things and explain them in plain English
• Is commercially minded and curious
• Can challenge without being confrontational
• Works well with specialists and enjoys getting stuck in
• Brings a bit of calm when everything is moving at 100mph

Most importantly, you’ll be a good human being. Collaborative, curious and no ego.

What’s in it for you?

• Up to £45,000
• Hybrid working – 6 days in the office per month
• Genuine flexibility
• Generous holiday, with the option to earn and buy more
• Health cash plan and pension
• Plenty of scope to develop your skills and career

But probably the biggest attraction is the people.

If you want to work somewhere that’s ambitious about the work but refreshingly down-to-earth about everything else, it’s definitely worth a conversation.
