• Have exceptional communication skills (both written and oral), and the ability to quickly build strong relationships with anyone
• Be responsible for gathering comprehensive business requirements (including through briefing workshops and discovery sessions) and translating them into meaningful, succinct briefs
• Work with internal teams to define project scopes, and to prepare and persuasively present commercial proposals to clients
• Be involved with projects at all stages through the studio, including strategic and creative client presentations, refinement, rollout and beyond
• Do your part to proactively push work through the studio, ensuring that client timelines and expectations are communicated and met

About Simple

We know that people shape the direction of Simple, not the other way around. As a tight-knit team of 40+, we all have a huge impact on each other and the agency.

For the right applicant, we'll provide:

• The opportunity to work alongside a team of industry leaders who are open, curious and kind towards each other. We combine a broad set of capabilities in-house and believe there's nothing we can't do. We thrive on change and strive to make each other better every day
• A modern, light-filled studio located on King William Road: our shared home away from home, where we achieve great things, explore ideas, cook delicious lunches, collaborate with clients and each other, and create industry-leading work
• We're believers in professional development and will provide opportunities and encouragement for growth
• A culture where everyone in the studio contributes to developing the way we do things and has a say in how we work
• We recognise getting together outside of the studio is both fun and important, so each month we'll get together and do something; from craft nights to park BBQs
• An enviable portfolio of clients
• A competitive salary package commensurate with your experience

To apply for this role, we invite written applications, including a brief resume and introductory cover letter. From your cover letter, we want to learn about you as a person; what are your passions, strengths, interests and aspirations? What makes you jump out of bed in the morning?

All applications will be treated with the strictest of confidence.

This role requires a current South Australian driver's licence.

Due to the high volume of submissions expected, only shortlisted applicants will be contacted — sorry! Recruiters, thanks, but we've got this covered.
