Description
The speed read:
A chance to deepen your account and project management skills and accelerate your career in a b2b design and communications agency.
The facts:
You’ll sit within a well structured client services team. You will be the gel between the disciplines: writing, design, consultancy and production. You bring already strong client handling skills (you love this part of the role). The agency produces lots of different communications projects, but it’s weighted towards large communication and messaging projects that talk to senior business audiences. You get to work with global brands and get into the detail of understanding businesses: their internal teams and their audiences and who needs to say what to whom.
You can talk through projects you have run in a clear and interesting way, from receiving a client brief (sometimes needing nailing down) and managing it through a design process to become either an annual report, a campaign, a corporate website or microsite or an identity.
Day to day you’ll be talking a lot with clients and colleagues and you are someone who can use their initiative and head off issues before they develop into problems.
You’ll have:
- Dealt directly with clients, the more senior the better
- Experience managing b2b communications projects
- A natural interest in businesses and how they communicate with different audiences
- Strong communication skills and emotional intelligence.
- A combination of strong project admin and great people management skills
You’ll be:
- Strong on initiative (no asking twice)
- Superlative on detail. You love it.
- Able to read a room. Know when to speak and to listen.
- Keen to be in the studio, soaking up as much knowledge as possible, 3-4 days a week.
