You'll monitor performance, identify opportunities for improvement and bring fresh, creative ideas that drive engagement and results.

Alongside client work, you'll contribute ideas for agency growth, identify new opportunities and play an active role in raising the agency's profile within its business and community networks. You'll also support and mentor more junior team members, helping them continue to develop their skills.

• Confidence building trusted relationships with clients, media contacts and colleagues.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• A proactive approach, with the confidence to contribute ideas and take ownership.
• Genuine interest in communications, media, brands, social media and culture.
