- Be responsible for resourcing: ensure account teams are correctly staffed, recommending changes where this will improve the client experience, teamwork and the success of the program
- Have a proven track record of leading and executing integrated campaigns
- Support new business development and proactively seek opportunities to expand the agency’s scope with clients, through the addition of new services and/or geographies, or pursue opportunities with colleagues from across the business
- Keep abreast of developments and innovations in the communications industry, making time to learn about new thinking or techniques that may be applied to our client work
- Work with a wide range of B2C and B2B brands, from household names to startups
