About the UK Managing Director Role

We’re looking for a confident, dynamic and commercially-astute leader who is equally comfortable in the boardroom as they are on the floor or winning new business. As a result, this person will be a visible leader and trusted advisor, bringing creativity, strategic thinking and fresh ideas to clients and teams, and you’ll have the credibility and judgement to advise C-suite leaders, founders and investors alike.

You will have demonstrable experience within technology or tech-adjacent sectors, gained either in-agency or in-house. Experience advising venture capital, private equity-backed or high-growth technology businesses would also be very helpful.  Naturally, you’ll bring high-grade creative thinking and a strong track record of helping businesses shape their brand, tell their story and drive growth, while also contributing to new business development and senior client relationships.

Please note that the role is based in London, with quarterly European travel. Therefore, you will need to be available to start late March or early April.
