Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

You’ll bring a confident point of view, identify the underlying business challenge behind each brief, and ensure work is strategically strong, creatively effective and flawlessly delivered.

- Proven experience already operating at Account Director level within an agency environment.

- A confident and articulate presenter, able to lead and steer meetings with varied audiences.
- Excellent client-management skills and commercial awareness.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach and strong attention to detail.
