The role

We are looking for a Client Executive to join our Boots Media Group team with our Threefold Agency. In this role, you will be managing a portfolio of key stakeholders and build relationships with either supplier brands or key Boots partners.

Why SMG?

We are dedicated to supporting our employees to be the best version of themselves both inside and outside of work. We have an extraordinary culture built by exceptional people and it's because of this that we've been recognised by Best Companies within the top 5 best Marketing & Media agencies to work for, with a World Class and Outstanding accreditation across the past 2 years.

We are also dedicated to continuously reviewing and improving our benefits package to offer the best that we can for our people. We have a whole page dedicated to our benefits here, but here are some of our favourites

• 10% discretionary bonus scheme
• £1,800 yearly wellbeing fund (on top of your salary!) towards your personal wellbeing and passions

• 4pm Friday finishes all year round
• Two fully paid conferences a year at Summer & Winter, as well as a dedicated team that put on activities and celebrations throughout the year

Why you?

In line with our company values, within your role, you'll want to stay honest, stay hungry, stay foolish, and most importantly, have fun! More specifically, you'll have/be:

• Experience of development, execution and evaluation of multiple projects
• Enthusiasm and flair for marketing, ideally within the FMCG or retail sector
• Experience in a growing FMCG or shopper environment
• Experience working in a fast paced and matrixed organisation with a solution focused mind-set
• Strong numeracy skills
• Possess strong influencing and interpersonal skills.

P.S. We try really hard to make sure that we list only essential criteria here, BUT if you think you can do an amazing job, yet don't have every single thing on this list, we'd still love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

We pride ourselves on creating challenging and exciting opportunities, meaning that no two days are the same. However, here's an idea of what your responsibilities will look like:

• Manage a portfolio of key stakeholders and build relationships with either supplier brands or key Boots partners, to ensure we understand their needs and identify ways to help them achieve their goals
• Utilise their relationships to ensure we are developing co-marketing campaigns that are right for both the client brand and Boots shoppers
• Participate in brainstorms to help create campaigns for our clients
• Develop high-quality written marketing proposals that clearly outline the campaign strategy and tell a coherent story to our clients
• Deliver campaigns against agreed budgets and timelines
• Help evaluate media performance and present results back to brands

The process

1. We will invite you to a first interview which we try to keep relatively informal, so it gives you the opportunity to share your authentic self. The hiring team will be looking to understand more about your experience and why you're interested in working with us.

2. There will be a second interview which will last a little longer, and involve some form of task to showcase your ability to do the role.

3. We then invite you to a meet & greet which is an opportunity for you to meet the team you'll be joining and ask them questions about the role and wider business.

Helping you shine

We are committed to helping you shine and show your full potential by making any changes you might need throughout your application. If you need an alternative way of applying for this role, support with understanding the role and its requirements, changes to be made to the way we hold our interviews, or anything else, then please reach out to us. You can let us know on your application form.
