The team will start small and very hands on, and it’s an exciting, entrepreneurial environment for those who thrive in that space.

The Role:
We are looking for a Business Manager to come and work within our team to assist the group in planning, buying and running advertising campaigns on behalf of our clients across multiple markets.

Reports to: Managing Director, but works alongside media team
Location: Based in Bristol for team HQ (where we congregate for at least two days a week – Monday and Tuesday are best) and remote for the rest – we are acknowledging the change in circumstances we have all become used to.
Start ups’ growth rates have a direct link to the team learning and pulling together and this means that we need to be spending time together. Our office time together will be about building the culture of the business as well as creating strong working practices, and learning new skills to keep us contemporary.
