- Excellent organisation and attention to detail
- Confidence managing multiple tasks and deadlines
- A proactive, collaborative approach
- Curiosity about brands, marketing, communications and creative work
- Comfort using Microsoft Office or Google Workspace

Previous agency experience is not required. Relevant internships, university projects, volunteering or part-time work will be considered valuable.
What you’ll gain
- Hands-on experience working with clients and multidisciplinary agency teams
- Training, mentorship and ongoing professional development
- Exposure to live campaigns and projects from briefing through to delivery
- A supportive environment in which to learn, contribute and grow
- A clear foundation for a career in account management and client service
Our ideal candidate
You’re a dependable and enthusiastic graduate who enjoys working with people, solving problems and keeping things moving. You communicate clearly, pay attention to the small details and aren’t afraid to ask questions. Most importantly, you’re keen to learn and ready to take the first step in your agency career.
