Account Manager(s)

A bit about The Social Kinetic

reImagine | connect | communicate

We...

Work with senior teams who want to re-Imagine their strategy and reputation -what

they could do, who with and how. That might mean fresh thinking to stimulate the

board

or, for others, designing a plan for change or realising a big idea.

Connect and create strategies and partnerships - building relationships which aredesigned to make

a positive difference between organisations, social entrepreneurs,

media, communities

and influential individuals.

Help organisations tell their stories with confidence and clarity, communicate their

big

ideas and make the complex simple.

We are a consultancy with a difference. An organisation which is always asking how we

could do something better, or maybe why do it at all, with the confidence to think big

on

behalf of others and find ways to achieve ambitious goals.

Context and purpose of this role

The Social Kinetic has grown in the last three years and, at the same time, we are becoming

more ambitious too. What we do is different and if you want to understand what makes us tick,

read our website and our brochure. It will tell you how we think, what we do and our values too.

We currently have two new significant projects which need great Project Managers. Someone

who ideally has a communications background but who thrives managing ambitious and large

scale projects either in:

1. Engagement, research and service design or

2. Engagement and communications across the health sector and the public too.Someone who understands the need for detail with an understanding of the sector and the

audiences as a bonus too.

We are either looking for one person full time to work on both projects for 6-12 months or two

part time people. The key is finding the right person. There may well be long-term opportunities

too.

These are great projects and provide a great opportunity to get as involved as you would like

and play a key role in the team. Each project has a dedicated team and this would be a pivotal

role alongside the Project Directors.

Working with us

First and foremost, we think of you as a partner (we dont like the term contractor). Our

aim

is always to bring together teams that offer the right skills and fresh perspective for

our

clients - we think that means diversity. Experts in their field are fantastic

and we value them

enormously. We also believe its essential to bring in fresh

perspective at times and, for this

reason, we draw on our Sounding Board (see our website for details of some of our experts).

We have a small permanent core team, our partner team or freelancers and specialists

who work with us on projects. This is a network of communicators, digital,

branding and

behaviour change specialists and much more. Its a small network and our aim is always

to

build lasting working relationships. More broadly we have our Social Kinetic Sounding Board

a rich mix of experts who bring colour and fresh perspective to our work and our

thinking.

We work and think a little differently than a typical agency. How you fit in and feel about

working with The Social Kinetic is as important to us as the great work we produce. So

we

have set out what we believe are the typical qualities that set us, and our partners,

apart.

Dont expect to work across 6 accounts or more. We dont do that. We will only work on

a

small number of projects at one time and the aim is quality.

We believe in:

Good capitalism it frames how we think. We believe a business can make

money and

governments can deliver their agendas while contributing to society,

benefiting their

people and the wider world too. Its the win win which

achieves true sustainability.

We like the people who work with us to have:

A social conscience

An interest in world affairs

Enquiring and inquisitive minds

Confidence in what they know and to share openly what they dont

A real interest in social media

A sense of humour.

Partners

Partnership is our watch word and we work with our clients as one. That means we

dont

constrain ourselves to tight briefs, but focus on the outcome and what it takes to

get

there.

Challenging

The Social Kinetic isnt for the shy and retiring. We welcome challenge and different

perspectives from everyone in fact we love it, so its important you do too.

Respect

We think its important you can expect to be treated with respect when you work with

us.

Why? Because we choose people who are excellent practitioners or experts so they

deserveit. We understand our work is demanding agency life is and there are always

deadlines. We

also understand people have lives, so we do try to get the balance right or make up for it

when things have been intense. We never take hard work and

commitment for granted.

Rewarding

We like to think working with us is rewarding because:

You get to work on wonderful projects with senior teams as partners and go beyond

pure communications

We treat you as equals and your point of view matters

Our work makes a difference and our relationships with clients are close

You get to work with our SK network and learn from each other

If youre a culture vulture, youll enjoy some of the fun things we do with opera and

the

arts

We work hard and we like to party too.
