We’re looking for someone to join our Dynamo team that’s headquartered in London, with staff members spanning the globe. It’s a fast paced, energetic, creative and inclusive environment that works with all and any tools at our disposal to make our clients famous, driving growth in presence, attention, customers and often funding.

Your story

You’ll be a leader for both clients and team. You will be as comfortable selling in social media proposals as delivering earned media campaigns, and excel in particular at planning, client communications, and both positive and fearless in overcoming challenges that are set for us.

You’ll inspire confidence in clients and team, a role model and mentor to junior staff and have a positive attitude, a willingness to take risks,  and a strong entrepreneurial streak.

The role

You will be building on account management experience to be part of the nascent Dynamo team which is rapidly growing within the Clarity group of companies. Your focus will be on helping early stage ventures grow fast, whether they’re B2B and B2C, helping drive income growth for us, using every channel that’s available to us, and with a global view to promote our work.

Whilst we expect strong media relations, we’re looking in particular for excellent communicators, someone who can turn their hand to content marketing, and someone who also has experience of wider digital marketing – whether that’s running social media campaigns, managing paid social promotions, or even link building for SEO / SEM.

Our clients are a balance of B2C and B2B clients, and are global.

Key markers for success:

• Extensive PR and digital marketing experience
• A thorough knowledge and interest in the B2B / B2C tech space
• Knowledge of startups and their drivers for success
• Wider consumer marketing – for instance crowdfunding
• Excellent client satisfaction, retention and growth
• Highly organised and the ability to multitask
• Strong track record in new business and networking

Why us? We offer not only a competitive salary but some great benefits including gym membership, healthcare, phone allowance, an incredible flexible remote work policy, unlimited paid time off (and we mean it!) annual learning and development allowance, a generous maternity/paternity policy and much more!
