 Develop and deepen the client relationship at senior levels and bring strategic points of view and perspectives to the client, supportively challenging where appropriate

To be considered, suitable applicants must be able to demonstrate previous employment as a Marketing Director (or similar) within the retail / eCommerce sector. You will be highly competent in devising direct / digital marketing strategies and be able to back this up with proven results in previous employment. Whilst this role is to work within a highly reputable agency, the company prefers that candidates come from a ‘client-side’ background, where they have walked in the shoes of the clients they work with.

This is a truly amazing opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career, with a company who genuinely support their staff, encourage development and who are offering a salary in the £72,000 – £84,000region. This is negotiable for exceptional candidates.
