Business Director

at  McCann Synergy

We’re McCann Synergy, one of the UK’s leading specialist employee engagement agencies and we believe in the power of people.
Ambitious brands trust us to help drive their people performance; to delight customers, transform cultures and create change. We’re growing and ambitious, with a client list full of brands your mum’s heard of, and we’re looking to get even bigger. That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Business Director to lead relationships with a number of our key clients, and ensure that we’re not only spotting opportunities for growth, but truly understanding our clients’ challenges, working with them at the most senior levels to develop solutions that truly work for them and deliver industry-leading employee experiences and engagement strategy. Alongside our incredible team of consultants, strategists and creatives, you’ll work in partnership with clients, rather than pushing an agency agenda. And you’ll have an innate belief that this is the best route to successful long-term relationships and growth.
A passionate advocate of the impact engaged workforces have on businesses, you’ll be responsible for developing senior stakeholder relationships across our client portfolio. You’ll be a natural at building relationships, developing employee engagement strategies and creative campaigns, and confidently talking about employee engagement best practice.

EXPERIENCE:

• A demonstrable track record of delivering employee engagement programmes for major organisations
• Experience working with Global FTSE / Fortune 500 brands and an understanding of the challenges of matrixed organisations
• Demonstrable senior client/stakeholder management and team leadership
• Facilitation of workshops, focus groups and senior client/stakeholder meetings

SKILLS:

• A solutions focused, strategic thinker
• Excellent relationship skills with a consultative approach
• Proactive in approach to client development and exceeding client expectations
• Excellent people management skills with the ability to drive, mentor and develop
• Creative flair and experience of multi-channel communications
• Ability to oversee the creative development process, working alongside our creatives to deliver greatness
  Please note presence in both of Bristol and London offices will be expected

Day to day, you’ll be using your strategic and commercial nous to lead and build strong relationships with your C-suite clients, identifying and understanding the challenges they face. Then, working in collaboration with the support of the wider agency, you’ll lead, shape and deliver solutions to tackle these challenges and drive measurable results - something you’ve already got a great track record of.
