The opportunity:

We need a hero. We’re looking for a driven somebody to jump into our (very lovely) client leadership team to support across our largest client’s various workstreams. We are the go-to agency for a wide variety of campaigns from product launches, radio, social, digital, and OOH to ensuring their brand and messages are optimised in retail and point of purchase.

How you'd spend your day:

The role will not just be support but also managing projects through to delivery across a wide portfolio of cutting edge products and services (Mobiles, Tablets, Wearables, Hearables, Services). Your day will be varied so that you learn as much as you can at the speed you want to learn it. We are all about progress, so it is important to us that you get the challenges you are looking for.

Yes, there is admin. Some of it fun, some less so, but all vital to ensure the account can function smoothly. And you will also be working with strategists, creatives and designers and, very quickly, be speaking to clients.

This role will give the right person a lot of exposure to almost the full breadth of the agency’s capabilities and opportunity to become a vital part of the team very quickly.

What we're looking for?

We want somebody who is eager, energetic and willing to embrace all things at Iris:

  • You will be a positive force, showing commitment and enthusiasm for the project at hand. People will feel better and brighter because you’re on the project.
  • You will be able to build trust with your team, with the Iris talent and with the client. You are able to pull favours and offer favours because you are collaborative and willing to help.
  • You will be all over the detail, be in love with efficiency and organising, projects, people and parties! You’re a fan of getting things done and having people count on you.
  • You will be an industry sponge. Have a thirst for knowledge and want to tell others about the things you’ve seen and learned. Iris has a lot to offer and we need people who like to learn.
  • You won’t be afraid to ask questions and constructively challenge when something looks wrong.
