Head of Creative

Old Trafford, Manchester

The UK's fastest growing media company is looking for a visionary Head of Creative. You'll be full of bright ideas and instrumental in ambitious growth plans – shaping our creative strategy while leading the talented minds that power it.

Established in 1998, PH Media Group helps organisations of all sizes to build their brand and communicate key marketing messages over the phone, on the web and on site with a suite of services that includes On-Hold Marketing, intelligent In-Store Radio and Web Audio. From two offices in Manchester and central London, we serve a 9,000-strong client portfolio that spans the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe.

We don't intend to stop there. With such reach, and some heavyweight names to look after, we want to make sure we look and sound our very best. You'll need the skill and creativity to make savvy decisions and drive our brand to even bigger and better things.

We're looking for someone who's dedicated, flexible and passionate, with a track record of producing thought-provoking and original creative work on your own and as part of a team. Ideally, you'll have at least five years' design and creative experience – and we'll look favourably on experience working with sound.

Getting things done on time and to budget is a big deal for us, so you'll be organised and good at solving problems. And while you shine on your own, you're also a team player, a motivator and a manager, with an attention to detail that's second to none.

In terms of work, you'll partner up with our Marketing Manager to focus on our existing in-house brands – taking creative responsibility for internal and external marketing/design projects across all platforms, including mobile. As we're solely B2B, you'll need strong commercial awareness, and will be working alongside the sales, copy, marketing and internal development teams to launch new PH Media Group products, services and packages. You will need to share our enthusiasm for the company's values and goals – and possess the energy and determination to achieve them.
