Dave wants you
We are very pleased to announce that Dave is recruiting once again. To help us grow we’re seeking junior designers, junior and senior posts in project management, consultancy and business development. Specifically we’re looking to hire:
Senior Consultant
Senior Consultants in Dave take the strategic lead in client projects. Your job would be to develop ‘trusted advisor’ status with a variety of clients right up to CEO-level. You will be responsible for the overall design of projects, helping senior clients articulate what they’re trying to achieve, and then define how they’ll realise it. Also, helping the Dave team understand the client and their issues is key. You’ll design workshops, run interviews, appoint agencies, write proposals and lead pitches. Big responsibilities, but all good fun. Our Senior Consultants will have at least 7 years experience in winning, running and developing large projects in a consultancy, at an agency or client-side. On top of all this, you’ll be central to the development of Dave’s thought leadership, developing new ‘products’, and tools and helping to make Dave famous through awards and PR.
Junior Consultants
Junior Consultants help support the team and Senior Consultants by understanding our clients, looking for market insight, developing and making presentations, participating in workshops and briefing the creative team. Most of your time will be spent on client work, but you’ll also find yourself working on pitches and helping develop Dave’s offer. A degree education is essential with a year or more work experience a clear benefit. We’re really looking for an effective and clear communicator with a positive, proactive attitude and down to earth personality. Most of all we need someone who’s a ‘doer’ with ability to think laterally around problems and present ideas in a clear, concise and convincing way.
New Business Manager
New Business in a project-based business requires energy, discipline and tenacity. ‘Thick skinned’ is a term we often use. It requires a good eye to spot opportunities, which often result from a significant business change within client organisations, combined with the ability to act on that information quickly to secure a meeting. The role is split into three key areas – identifying and progressing leads, managing and developing all Dave’s marketing activity and content and thirdly managing and administering the new business approach and budget for the business. The person will report to the CEO and will work closely with the Management Team.
Junior Project Manager
Our Junior project managers help to ensure the smooth running of all projects learning the ropes quickly by working closely with senior project managers, creatives and consultants. Running projects on time, on budget and accurate to brief is the key to delivering the high standard of work we demand for our clients. You will liaise on a daily basis with our clients building strong, lasting relationships. We’re looking for people with at least 6 months experience in a marketing or agency position. You’ll also need to be an effective communicator with a positive, proactive attitude and a friendly, down to earth personality.
Junior Designers
Junior designers in Dave don’t make the tea or do errands to the shops but are given the opportunity to be highly creative, meet clients and to develop their skills. Ideally we are looking for a designer with around one years experience in industry with the ability to generate ideas and do great design work. Mac skills are essential. Junior designers have to be good team players working with senior creatives, project managers and consultants. Dave is a lively place to work and welcomes outgoing personalities that would bring something to the party.
