Four Communications

We’re looking for a digital producer with at least 4 years of relevant experience to join the growing technology team at one of the UK’s best independent agencies.

Working as part of our passionate and talented creative technology team, you’ll drive a variety of digital projects from initial brief to successful completion. While project management is a crucial part of the role, you’ll also be playing creative and strategic roles, shaping each project and working with specialist team members to deliver work of which you can be truly proud.

Those projects will include websites and microsites of all types, mobile and embedded apps, interactive content and immersive experiences across a huge range of sectors – from public sector and social purpose clients to entertainment, healthcare and cultural institutions. They’ll be a mix of big names and challenger brands, but most importantly you’ll be helping them solve real problems and create campaigns and platforms that make a real difference.

An experienced and confident practitioner, you are a driven person who enjoys the opportunities that digital technologies can bring. You’ll bring a passion for developing products that people will love to use, a can-do attitude and an inquiring mind.

In return we’ll help you to grow, giving you an unbeatable variety of interesting projects for big name clients, room to learn new tools and techniques, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere to work in.

Apply for this role if you:

• Want to work in a team of experienced experts who leave their egos at the door and genuinely believe in collaboration
• Really care about the quality of the work you do, and can live up to the extremely high quality standards we set in all of our projects
• Believe that accessibility matters, and want to work somewhere where people make an effort to live up to industry best practice
• Think that successful project management is more about creative problem-solving and close collaboration with the experts around you than ticking boxes
• Want to work somewhere where your ideas are listened to and your expertise valued

Who we are

Four is an award-winning creative agency working for clients of all shapes and sizes in the UK and internationally.

Our Creative Technology unit, of which this role is part, combines Four’s existing digital business and two strategic acquisitions in 2021 and 2022 – Joi Polloi and Marmelo. In practice this means you get the security and support of a larger agency with the focus and friendliness of a small start-up.

We work with a huge range of clients, and every project is different. We’ve got a particularly impressive track record in the cultural sector (especially museums and heritage), broadcast and media, brands and retail, health, property, tourism and the public sector. Recently we’ve delivered sites, apps and interactive experiences for the Science Museum, BBC, Amazon, Channel 4, London’s West End, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the University of Sheffield.

We wear our ‘creative technologist’ badges with pride, helping our clients find the right mix of technologies and channels to tell their stories and achieve their goals. We engage people, transform organisations and elevate brands through unified digital experiences, bespoke platforms and innovative products.

Everyone has the freedom to flourish in their roles whilst allowing you to not just suggest, but to create change and better ways of thinking and doing things.

The day-to-day

Four operates a flexible working policy – you can work from home or wherever you like, unless you have face-to-face commitments such as client meetings and events, team meetings or training.

• Bring together experts in UX, design, digital storytelling and technology and help them deliver work of the very highest quality

• Take a creative approach to briefing and specifying work, taking on a client’s ambition and making it your own
• Act as a champion for the product’s eventual users
• Keeping a careful eye on delivery and using project management techniques that match the shape and type of project to keep everything on track
• Contribute to learning sessions in the company, thought pieces to the blog and attending/speaking at events
• Get involved with new business proposals and pitches
• Contribute to overall strategy and standards for the agency

Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate will:

• Have evidence of having solved production issues under their own initiative, knowing when to consult with technical and design experts within the team
• Be able to communicate ideas clearly with confidence with the rest of the project team and to clients.

Personality

• You have a great attitude, with a strong work ethic – keen to work outside your comfort zone and proud to never leave a job half done.
• You have a real interest in working as part of a team to contribute to a project’s wider concept, design and strategy, and live and breathe our values.
• You can give and receive feedback constructively, bringing energy and a solution-oriented approach to any situation
• You understand the measure of your work is the success of the project for the client, and this drives the commercial success and growth of the agency
