As a company, we prefer to hire talent and train for skills. Value is placed on people who are naturally curious and full of ideas, resourceful, eager to learn and have a ‘can-do-spirit’. If you believe that the future of marketing to high value customers is direct and interactive, are tempted to like us and fit into anyone of the following positions:
1. Management Trainees Ref: MA/108/MT
Job: In a flat organizational structure like ours, management trainees function essentially like account executives and planners. The difference being that they first enter into a comprehensive internship program where they will be actively trained and mentored to our internal company standard for managers before being deployed to their specialist areas of interest and ability.
Requirement: Candidates must be under 28 years of age and have a minimum 2/2 University degree (or equivalent). Fresh graduates (i.e post NYSC ) are welcome.
2. Head, Technology and Planning Ref: MA/108/HTP
Job: This job calls for strong leadership credentials. IT heads up a ‘seed’ team in the one area that is sure to differentiate the entire company, the position directs substantial investments in technology and heads up market research, data planning, communications planning and use of new media e.g internet. The position oversees the upgrade and maintenance of VPN and internet connectivity as well as the data security systems that would assure even our most sensitive clients. But this is a marketing job, it requires a keen sense of how technology may be applied to marketing challenges with emphasis on the latter. It calls for a quick learner who has the ability to inspire his or her own team, work long hours and odd hours (motivating those who are looking long enough to see the trees in the consumer ‘forest’) then dazzle the account handling team and their clients with research-based, data driven consumer insight and market opportunities. The joy would be in championing the things that other marketing support agencies in Nigeria can only dream of
Requirement: Candidates must be under 35 years of age a have a minimum of 5 years experience in a marketing or technology environment. A background in planning or new media would be an advantage.
3. Research Coordinator Ref: MA/108/RC
Job: The RC will be responsible for identifying decisions for which the risk of being wrong is unbearable, specifying information required and advising on how best to gather useful information. Apart from coordinating all internet research needs, the RC will conduct desk research and evaluate research proposals from external providers overseeing implementation to actionable findings. This critical upstream activity empties into our creative workshop, unique for its use of research outputs and stimulus materials provided by the RC.
Requirement: Candidates must be under 30 years of age and have at least 3 years experience in marketing research in a well established organization. A familiarity with market segmentation or marketing communications research will be a decisive advantage
4. Planners Ref: MA/108/PLA
Requirements: Candidates must be under 28 years of age, be highly numerate and have good communication and presentation skills. We shall strongly favour those that have excellent computer skills and a minimum 2/2 University degree (or equivalent)
5. Account Executives Ref: MA/108/AE
Job: Being an account executive is essentially a client-facing project implementation role. Reporting to an account manager, the executive has specific responsibility for detailing project plans, organizing available resources to achieve set project outcomes. These projects sum up to the client deliverables for which the account manager is ultimately accountable. The account executive’s job is in the detail from preparing contact reports to inputting to project evaluations.
Requirement: Candidates must be under 28 years of age, have excellent communication and presentation skills. A little experience in the workplace will do. Candidates with anything short of a minimum 2/2 University degree (or equivalent) are likely to struggle
