Job Description

We're on the hunt for an experienced and inspiring creative problem solver who is experienced in (and obsessed with) helping brands connect to consumers through influencers and creators.

They'll be a key senior member of the team, responsible for developing ideas for our biggest and most complex creative briefs, working alongside and inspiring other team members and mentoring junior members of the team too.

We need someone who's self-motivated & proactive. Someone who has been consistently providing original solutions to problems they've been given, and to problems they've proactively uncovered too.

Job Overview
This person will deeply understand what great social content looks like today and has their finger on the pulse of what's to come. They spot emerging trends, know which creators are defining the next wave, and think ahead so the brands and social content they work on are always culturally relevant - never catching up.

They'll understand how to develop ideas that get the best out of creators - giving enough direction to inspire, but leaving enough space for them to add their authentic creative spark too.

We're looking for someone who is unsettled, in that they are in constant pursuit of better. They believe what has been done before is not 'Best Practice' but 'Best so far'.

We want to see an obsession with creators, social media and the value they can offer to brands, but we'd also love to see an understanding of what 'good' looks like in other brand marketing channels too.
