We're hiring! Executive role

We are looking to recruit an Account Executive to join our busy Marketing and PR team at the Cirencester office.

Essential skills are:

Organisational excellence:  completing tasks and activities to brief, on time and within budget is at the heart of your role. You’ll have superb organisational skills, be comfortable with figure work and be able to handle multiple projects at once.

Confident communicator:  firm but friendly; we’re looking for someone who will positively represent us, building rock solid relationships with clients, suppliers and journalists via face-to-face meetings and picking up the phone, as well as emails. 

Eye for detail:  you’ll be the type of person who instinctively plays ‘find the typo’ and really cares about how we present ourselves as an agency.

PC packages which will be second nature to you - Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Any knowledge of programmes such as Photoshop or InDesign would be seen as a major bonus, although not essential.

A ‘Clear’ attitude:  We have ambitious growth plans, so need someone who’s hungry for us all to succeed, works well in a team and has a positive, can-do attitude. You will be able to live out the line ‘the difference is clear thinking’. You will be happy to get stuck into a diverse range of jobs, often with a steep learning curve thrown in, but don’t worry – we’re all in it together!
