  • working closely with the project and account management teams on briefs, and supporting creatives
  • an authority during stressful moments, able to communicate priorities to relevant people
  • developing strong relationships within the agency at every level
  • on top of projects going through your accounts regardless of the level of your involvement
  • organising and running creative/wider team WIPs, and ensuring approvals/creative sign offs for the best quality work

  • use of own initiative and to work autonomously
