Job Spec: Our client successfully blends research, insight and strategy to create opportunities that will have a genuine impact.

A key client of theirs is in the fascinating and alluring world of football and its thought that a devotee of this ever-evolving area of sport could add a unique slant to this account. The focus of the role will be to take the lead on quant-led brand, comms, and reputation projects that feed into marketing decisions and inform the client on how their strategies are playing out with fans, grassroots communities, as well as regulators and government. They are doing some interesting, and innovative work into the halo effect that their output can create and how some the more contentious developments in the game are perceived.

You will be expected to work across the more general workflow as well as above.
As a director in this team, you will have strong hands-on agency experience which includes building strong client relationships, managing people, taking the lead on projects, and providing insight and advice for clients. You should be as passionate as they are about innovative and bespoke solutions that tackle clients' complex challenges and have the ability to present 'the story' to senior client audiences. Ad hoc research design rigour will also be expected.
This is an ambitious, flexible company with the foresight to embrace and nurture your strengths and interests. They have the vision to be one of the most advanced employers in the industry - diversity, training, support, wellbeing...these are more than just watchwords. You will be passionately supported by an enlightened senior leadership team. So, if you're looking for an inclusive and agile environment this is the perfect role to explore.
