• Are organised and comfortable juggling different tasks and deadlines
• Are a confident communicator and enjoy working with others
• Have a positive, problem-solving attitude
• Are comfortable using Excel, or keen to develop your skills

Most importantly, you'll bring a growth mindset, curiosity and willingness to learn. We can teach you the media side.

Our offer to you

You'll gain hands-on experience across media planning, buying, campaign management, reporting and insights, with plenty of support from experienced people around you.

We offer:

• Strong career progression and mentoring
• Attendance at industry events
• A collaborative, fun and rewarding team culture
• Flexible working conditions
• Birthday day off
• Industry-leading parental leave policy
• Confidential 24-hour support via our employee assistance programme
