• Contribute confidently to brand workshops and strategic sessions.

• Lead smaller strategy projects independently, such as brand audits, competitor reviews, and positioning frameworks.

• Stay up to date with trends in branding, packaging, and QSR/consumer markets to inspire and inform your work.

YOU:

You’ll ideally have 3–5 years’ experience in account management within a brand, design, or creative agency, along with:

• A strategic approach and a clear understanding of how creativity drives business success.

• Strong communication skills, able to express ideas clearly, confidently, and persuasively.

• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects under pressure.
