Who will thrive in this role?

· Someone who is mature and unflappable under pressure and tight deadlines, with an art for solving problems

· Someone with an unrelenting ambition to create smart, simple, iconic work for our client

· A master communicator – someone who can give clear direction and support to the team and client
