You will be supported by a wider team of 45 staff here in the UK, a wider team in the States and a Development Team in India. We expect the Vocal team to grow from seven to at least twenty in the next 18-months.

No two days will be the same for this role, so time management is essential when ensuring all projects are moved forward at equal pace.

  2. We need a leader, you will manage an initial team of seven, which will quickly grow with our recruitment plans and open positions.

  4. Oversee the creative process ensuring your team follow plans for marketing campaigns, ensuring deadlines are achieved.
  5. Someone who is not afraid to roll their sleeves up and get involved with the day-to-day work, as well as understanding that it’s your role to coach and mentor your team to be top of their game.
  6. Work closely with other heads of departments to ensure creative output delivers results.
  7. Work closely with our media and marketing teams to ensure communications and messages align.
  8. A member of the senior management team, presenting once per quarter on team output,
  9. and results to the owners of the business.
  10. A candidate who can work across a huge range of different brands at any one time.
  11. Experience of working in the kid’s market as well as professional services would be advantageous.

Outgoing, Deadline-Oriented, Exceptional Time Management Skills, Interpersonal Skills, High Degree of Creativity, Leadership Skills, Out-of-the-Box Thinking, Knowledge of Industry Software.
