About Our Client

Our client is a small web studio that's been proudly punching above its weight since 2018.

They're made up of six friendly, intelligent folk who are committed to producing user-centred marketing websites and web apps. They work with SMEs, growing startups, and corporate innovators to help unlock the potential in their technology.

The Role

From the very beginning, they've thrived on building long-term, close-knit relationships with their clients. Together, they've delivered incredible, impactful work that's contributed to shared success.

This is an exciting phase of growth for our client, as they take on more complex and ambitious projects. Therefore, they're on the lookout for someone to join their team in the role of Sales Executive / Outreach Manager.

• Deliver success, not just a service: They are entrepreneurs, just like their clients, so they understand their need to succeed and get results.
• Integrity comes naturally: If they say they'll make something happen, they will. They don't move the goalposts, and they stick to their word.
• Challenge everything: Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they're wrong, but they'll always ask 'why?'. They challenge their own and their client's ideas in pursuit of perfection.
• Cherry on top: There's nothing they enjoy more than the smile on a client's face at the end of a project. They go above and beyond to add that touch of magic that really makes the work sparkle.
