• Demonstrated ability to lead complex client relationships and influence senior stakeholders with confidence
• Strong strategic thinking - able to define direction and connect digital solutions to commercial and business outcomes
• Commercial awareness and experience contributing to account growth, including identifying and converting opportunities

• A proactive mindset - someone who brings ideas forward, challenges thinking, and looks for better ways of doing things
• Strong understanding of digital platforms, particularly websites and CMS driven ecosystems
• Excellent communication skills - clear, structured, and persuasive
• Somebody who is open to frequent travel between London, Manchester and Amsterdam
