This is a role for those who defeat the dull. Seniority with soul, and with one of Manchester’s most glorious B2B agencies, where the work’s bold, the clients are global, and the team actually enjoys what they do (mad, right?).
If you’re searching for a job that feels like every other agency ad, this isn’t it.
The role
Without the waffle this is what you’ll walk into - you’ll become the calm centre of the storm - the one who steers client relationships, shapes strategy, drives growth and holds the big, bright picture while keeping the detail tight. You’ll take brands from first spark to fully realised campaigns, working across research, strategy, creative, content, digital, delivery and everything in between.
You’re the person clients trust, teams gravitate towards, and projects orbit around. You’ll run key accounts, mentor rising talent, elevate thinking, solve the occasional crisis with superhero-like calm, and help push Upp toward its mission to be the UK’s most creatively impactful B2B agency.
You won’t just lead accounts, you’ll be given the space to ignite & excite them, helping brands unlock the commercial and emotional power they didn’t know they had.
And the culture?
Imagine a place where curiosity is currency, fun is mandatory, ego doesn’t work here, and everyone genuinely roots for you to win. A place where colleagues become collaborators, collaborators become friends, and friends occasionally end up doing something ridiculous together every quarter… on purpose.
You
You’re a seasoned agency focused B2B marketer – emotionally intelligent, commercially savvy, quietly confident and unquestionably curious. You get strategy, people, and you get what makes businesses tick. You’re as happy presenting ideas in a boardroom as you are rolling up your sleeves when the brown stuff hits the fan. You think clearly, act compassionately, challenge constructively and lead with an energy people feel instantly.
But here’s the real reason you might want this job: You love thinking. You love creating. You love people & you love being smack in the middle of the action. In short, someone who’s good to be around & the calm eye of the storm.
You love progress & you love the kind of work that leaves clients saying, "Wow… that was different."
Why bother
Because this is not your standard agency. It’s a brilliantly human one, perfect size so you’re heard & you’ll work with people who genuinely like each other& the kind who collaborate hard, laugh loudly and show up fully. The kind who blurs the line between colleague and friend, who find the fun in B2B, and who believe that great work comes from great culture first
A salary of up to £52,000 & you’ll get space to grow, have a voice that matters, work that challenges you, clients who trust you and a team that raises you up. Plus, flexibility, proper progression, & great benefits.
