  • Senior-Level Event Experience: Proven background as an Account Director or Project Director ready to transition into account management.
  • Client-Centric Approach: Excellent relationship management skills, with a keen eye for detail in written, creative, and financial work.
  • Team Leadership: A track record of effectively guiding and motivating project teams.
  • Technical Proficiency: Skilled in Microsoft 365, including TEAMS; full driving licence and availability for international travel required.



A flexible approach to remote work is supported; however, candidates should be able to commit to the majority of their workweek in the company’s Banbury office.
