- Commercial management of client portfolio to track and monitor budget spend and work with SLT to encourage revenue development within the client base.

You will be working across different clients, from Global brands to start ups and new challenger brands. You will be a team player with great communication and rapport building skills who proactively seeks out opportunities to add value to the clients and team.
We are a digital creative agency so a creative background would be a nice to have.

If this role is right for you, you would be working for a boutique agency which prides itself on being fair, having integrity and acting responsibly. Engage Hub is big enough to handle campaigns from global clients, but small enough that you can still make a huge difference. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to be another cog in a big machine. Everyone’s voice will be heard, and there is not only a lot of investment in your learning once you’re here, but a genuine opportunity to drive meaningful change.
