What you'll be doing
We pride ourselves on creating challenging and exciting opportunities, meaning that no two days are the same. However, here's an idea of what your responsibilities will look like:

- Campaign creation: Lead the creation of all agency output for your clients. Create strategic proposals in conjunction with other members across SMG and your direct team.
- Campaign evaluation: Comfortable with reviewing and simplifying the presentation of data. Oversee the team output of all evaluation work and leading presentations to clients.
- Team management: Manage team members with varying experience, and assign their resources to own particular areas of the clients you oversee.
-
Commercial management: Oversee the commercial reporting of your client base, being able to assess how your client accounts are performing, and articulate this clearly and simply to your line manager.
- Business development: Work across the business development cycle to achieve budgeted growth ambitions while supporting SMG's marketing efforts and creating and distributing key content.
P.s. we try really hard to make sure that we list only essential criteria here, BUT if you think you can do an amazing job, yet don't have every single thing on this list, we'd still love to hear from you.
The process
- We will invite you to a first interview which we try to keep relatively informal, so it gives you the opportunity to share your authentic self. The hiring team will be looking to understand more about your experience and why you're interested in working with us.
- There will be a second interview which will last a little longer, and involve some form of task to showcase your ability to do the role.
- We then invite you to a meet & greet which is an opportunity for you to meet the team you'll be joining and ask them questions about the role and wider business.
