You will work with the Director of Strategy & Innovation to hone your strategy skills, understand our tools and provide creative inspiration for our designers; working alongside Client and Design Directors day to day to translate client briefs, ask the right questions, maintain excellence and grow client relationships.

Who you are:
You would describe yourself as constantly curious (researching for yourself, watching documentaries, or even reading books !), a keen learner (always wanting to know more/do more), opinionated (you have a voice and a view on everything but it’s not about being right . . . at least not all the time), love a challenge (it’s not the coolest clients that bring you joy, it’s about the challenge and ability to learn something new about a category, consumers or sometimes even yourself).

You will have: an understanding of and experience in using and applying semiotics, the ability to craft a logical and inspiring narrative to give your strategic recommendations, the ability to research and write trend decks and thought pieces with little input or guidance, exposure to qual research and innovation workshops – coordinating of, writing stimulous and attending, and of course have excellent presentation writing and presenting skills in hopefully Keynote (but we’ll forgive you if it’s only Power Point).

Marks London is strongly connected to Birmingham and our European network (London, Paris and Amsterdam).

We are at the forefront of design thinking and sustainability with specialities across pack design, structural/3D design, innovation and strategy and proprietary tools that
allow us to asses and make recommendations before the design process begins. We may not be the biggest or most popular kid on the block but we try harder with our challenger spirit.

Our people make us different and our working culture is upbeat and energetic. We work hard and deliver to short deadlines but without the bad politics and nastiness. We may be part of a larger corporate, but we still have the potential to make our office and culture our own. Time for Tea was started as an employee idea and that has morphed into a weekly Wednesday event where people volunteer to make/bake food with a theme and we chill out for 30min and chat with each other about non-work stuff.

What you get:

• Competitive salary
• 25 days annual leave (+ UK public holidays and the opportunity to buy 5 more days holiday after your first year)
• Closed over Christmas to New Year
• Pension scheme
• Health insurance collective

Additionally, you’ll have responsibility for leading a team. We all have good days and bad days but with a team of reports you’ll be a glass-half-full person who identifies solutions when others need support. You and your team will play a big part in making positive contributions to agency life and Marks culture.

About you:

You’ll be an Account Director at a design agency who has experience of managing design accounts for FMCG brands at large, multinational companies. You will be motivated by the challenges that large clients bring with them, savvy in the art of navigating through client politics to champion the role of design, understanding the difference between ‘acceptable’ and ‘excellent’ in product quality and leading your team.
