A Manchester-founded branding agency with a genuinely global client base - known for combining brand strategy with distinctive identity and storytelling to drive measurable commercial outcomes.

The industry would know them for delivering brand work that punches above their size: a decade-long partnership with a global sportswear giant, identity work for an international wellness brand's flagship concept store, and building a single café into the UK's most popular.

The Role
You will own the client relationship and day-to-day delivery of brand projects across retained accounts and incoming project work. You’ll work with global B2B tech brands, cultural institutions, and a passion project programme - working directly with the founder on briefs that range from global rebrands to arts and culture brands that most mid-size agencies never touch.

Day-to-day, you manage timelines, budgets, and scopes while acting as the primary link between client and studio. You translate briefs, ensure creative work delivers commercially, and identify opportunities to deepen relationships and extend project scope. You contribute to strategy and creative discussions in a meaningful, commercially grounded way.

This is a direct line to the founder of an agency with 13+ years of credibility - clients across the US, China, Africa and the UK. At this size, you work alongside leadership, not beneath layers of hierarchy.

The Package
£30,000 - £34,000
Hybrid working, predominantly Manchester studio-based, with occasional London days required
28 days holiday
Health and well-being allowance
Training budget
A clear progression pathway - demonstrated internal progression, not a vague promise

The Person
You have 2 - 4 years of experience managing brand identity or brand strategy projects end-to-end at a branding or creative agency. You have handled real responsibility but outgrown your current environment.

You want somewhere you can be noticed, grow quickly, and work on genuinely interesting briefs without needing significant onboarding or structured management.
