Job description

Brief Overview

If you love the buzz of creative chaos, the satisfaction of getting things spot on, and the feeling of being the glue that holds great campaigns together — this one’s for you.

This agency has a seriously good rep for developing talent. People grow here, careers take off here, and you’re trusted to get stuck in from day one. No micromanaging, no dull silos – just real work, real clients, and a team that genuinely wants you to shine.

What you’ll be doing

Your days will be varied : one moment coordinating timelines, the next gathering insight for a pitch, scheduling creative reviews, organising campaign assets, or making sure everything is looking tidy and up to date. You’ll jump into meetings, keep documentation sharp, help with event logistics, and support the delivery of digital, content, creative and strategic projects.

You’ll love this role if you enjoy being the person who quietly keeps everything running smoothly, spots tiny details other people miss, and gets a bit of a thrill from things being organised and on time. Along the way, you’ll pick up proper project management skills and a strong understanding of B2B marketing, creative workflows, and cross-channel campaigns.

Curiosity is key – you’ll learn fast, pick up B2B marketing know-how along the way, and gradually build your own project management chops. You’ll work with designers, strategists, content folk and digital specialists. You’ll grow from their feedback, ask good questions, and have the confidence to challenge things when something doesn’t quite add up. And because it’s agency life, you’ll also need the flexibility to pivot when a client suddenly wants something yesterday.

What we’re looking for

They’re after someone who thrives in the cut and thrust of agency life – the energy, the pace, the collaboration, the creative chaos (the fun kind). Someone who’s organised but not rigid, proactive but not pushy, and switched-on enough to spot problems before they snowball.

It will suit someone who can ensure sure campaign activity is running like a well-oiled machine & be able to play a big part in planning and coordinating campaigns, gathering assets, pulling together briefs, researching insights, and ensuring everyone has what they need to deliver brilliant work. In return, you’ll get the kind of support, exposure and development that actually builds a career.

A good human, basically. The kind of person who’s great to have in the room, communicates openly, asks smart questions, and brings a positive vibe to the team. If you’re hungry to learn, eager to grow, quick to adapt and happiest when juggling multiple moving parts, this is a brilliant place to build your career and sharpen your craft.

What’s on offer

Consistently acknowledged as one of the most innovative agencies in the region, they’ve always adopted a flexible working policy and have some superb benefits. It’s worth noting that many of their senior players in the agency started in similar roles so there is plenty of room for progression & personal development.

A salary of up to £28,000 + endless benefits, hybrid working, over 25 days holiday, pension as well as structured training and development plans to help you progress, as well as on-the-job and formal training support depending on your needs (examples include advanced people management skills, commercial skills, planning etc.).
