Job Description
We create cultural value and help brands navigate the ever-changing age of earned: an age where consumers actively say no to advertising; an age where everyone is an influencer that can make or break your brand; an age where content can be turned into commercial opportunity.
Our talented team builds brands by finding connection points in the real world. We energise the right mix of talent, using the right platforms and latest technology to choreograph stories that make a real and meaningful impact for some of the world's leading brands and businesses.

We're hiring for a Business Affairs Manager to join our team in London. This role would suit someone that's currently in a Business Affairs, Programme or Production Management position.
You will work closely with our existing accounts, project, operations, and legal teams to add more senior capability, both to over-see and make changes to how we work.
This role will enhance the delivery of our work, with key focus areas being accurate documentation, and looking at how we are organised to deliver. Whilst this is predominantly an internal-facing role, some client and supplier management may be necessary when acting as a point of escalation. Internal stakeholder management is key.
Ideally, you're a problem solver, a self-starter, a multitasker, and a quick thinker with a level head and excellent people skills. This important role will keep you on your toes with varying day-to-day work that is both fun and challenging.
