Who we are
&us is a new kind of consultancy that wants to change the way the world works. We’re a community of coaches, makers, problem-solvers and activists who’ve helped organisations like The Post Office, Novartis, River Island and Sue Ryder work braver and innovate smarter.
We partner with clients to bring out the human in everything they do, so that innovation and creativity become normal within their business. So we make things (digital products, experiences, tools) and then we coach people to help those things blossom in the wider business.
What we need you to do
&us is embarking upon a new exciting period of growth. We want to expand our client base and build our reputation and take over the world! Well, maybe not take it over, but definitely make it better.
So, we need a growth manager who can jump in, get involved and make us louder. Reporting into the brand and innovation director, you’ll be so important to the business it hurts, playing a role in the company’s voice, running our social channels and contributing to new business.
You’ll be part of a team of three in charge of building the &us brand, bringing in new business leads and making sure our communication is top notch. There’ll be lots of big thinking but also a fair amount of nitty gritty, managing databases and looking for opportunities in the market.
We need someone with passion. A quick-thinker, excellent stakeholder manager and powerful communicator.
As a Growth Manager at &us, your responsibilities will broadly be:
Social Media
- Write and deliver a unique and refreshing social media strategy
- Create content and build our networks and relationships
- Develop a plan of thought-leadership and PR
- Work with people all over &us to position us a true community, with a variety of different thoughts and personalties and voices
Brand
- Manage the &us brand assets including website and newsletter
- Coordinate our participation in events and conferences
- Use your unique sense of creativity to develop and visualise things like case studies and new business decks
New Business
- Manage a database and insights around potential new clients
- Coordinated outreach to bring potential clients into the &us world
- Provide research and insights ahead of new business meetings
- Management of our Rocket Fuel product
Fireworks
- Fireworks are big pieces of exciting activity we try to run every month to get attention from industry-at-large
- We’d love you to work on fireworks ongoing, and help us invent new ones! Whether that’s research pieces, some video, an interactive tool… the canvas is completely blank
Who we need
We need someone with marketing and PR experience, that knows how to (and really wants to!) propel &us into fame with style and substance:
You have
- Experience at creating content (text, image and video) and photoshop would be a plus
- Experience in writing and executing strategies
- Experience in spinning plates! Lots of exciting projects at the same time with numerous stakeholders
- An exquisite attention to detail and take an admirable amount of pride in everything you produce
You are
- Natural at creating clarity out of ambiguity
- Action-orientated and a problem-solver
- Adept at navigating (often quickly) changing priorities
- Motivated by making sure others have a positive experience
- Delighted in building collaborative relationships
- Curiosity about what can be done better
What’s in it for you
- Be an essential ingredient of a successful, young consultancy that offers that rare balance between play, freedom, shaping a business and security.
- Join and grow an awesome team of smart, interesting, curious, compassionate people who love to create good trouble.
- Incredibly rewarding experiences – we’ll do everything we can to help you make the most of your career with &us.
- Oh and a competitive salary + generous benefits.
