Benefits

Core Benefits - Competitive salary , benchmarked to experience and performance - Performance-related bonus / commission aligned to commercial impact - 28 days holiday + bank holidays - Hybrid working with offices in London and Manchester - Flexible working hours – we care about output, not clock-watching

Financial & Lifestyle Perks - Company pension scheme - Monthly wellness allowance (gym, fitness, mental wellbeing or similar) - Team socials and events throughout the year - Staff discounts across our brands and partners
