Join our team today!
We are no ordinary People team - we are on a relentless mission to create an inspiring place to work with a stand out culture, underpinned by extraordinary People activity. We need game changers, who are able to work in a fast paced environment, not phased by grappling with a challenge you may never have faced before or being hands on and taking personal responsibility to fix stuff. It’s all in the attitude, the passion about owning, delivering and improving. And most of all, playing a key role in an incredible team.
We take a ground-breaking and transformative approach to People and like to turn traditional ways of doing things on their head. Whether it relates to our learning platform (Stretch) with roots in sport psychology, our global charitable activity for World Down Syndrome Day, our agile cloud based performance and feedback tool (Perform) or our Grassroots apprentice scheme; we like to do things differently. We need people who are prepared to get stuck in and get rewarded for that.
We are still an entrepreneurial agency at our roots and whilst we are growing, we aren’t the kind of people team to sit in a remote office with the doors closed. Our people are people, they aren’t numbers.
This is a 12 month fixed term contract role based in our Orpington office.

THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU NEED

Ideally an understanding of sales or agency life – it is a special kind of world, where you have to demonstrate your commercial ability to operate effectively.
Excellent people management experience and skills – a fine attention to detail which you don’t let slow you down. The keen ability to help prioritise and with a deep understanding of the business priorities, you know how to maximise resource and operational efficiencies
