With a collaborative approach to team management, you’ll be leading by example and helping teams to deliver exceptional results for our clients. This role will be client-facing from day one, so you’ll have the confidence to build a strong rapport with clients, stakeholders and colleagues quickly. The role will also require a good head for new business: identifying opportunities to grow existing client accounts; mining your network for new leads; participating in chemistry meetings; and contributing significantly to the production and delivery of new business proposals and pitches.
