Associate Director

MMGY Hills Balfour is the UK’s leading travel, tourism and lifestyle communications partner. Across the disciplines of PR, integrated marketing, creative strategy and production, together, we curate bold, innovative campaigns that challenge and change perceptions, encourage dialogue and make people take action. Our mission is to grow people and places.

To meet the requirements for this newly created and very senior role, you will already be an accomplished PR, social media and communications expert, ideally gained from within the travel/ lifestyle sectors, with a solid knowledge and an impressive black book of leading travel influencers and vloggers. Not only must you have the confidence and experience of developing cutting-edge PR and social content solutions within a highly successful and creative environment, but you’ll also be heading up an enthusiastic group of talented people, who are already well-established in the world of travel PR and social media and so extensive people management experience is essential. From day one you will be the ‘go-to’ expert on developing and driving compelling PR digital and social programme strategies, as well as providing counsel and support to our impressive portfolio of clients and at all levels across the wider business.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join the UK’s leading integrated travel marketing agency, in a role that will be critical in supporting the business to achieve its next level of ambitious, global growth. It therefore requires a dynamic individual, capable of providing operational know-how, strategic support, and entrepreneurial nous. Applicants must be able to work - and thrive - in a fast-paced environment and should have the confidence to operate successfully under their own initiative as well as collaboratively alongside the wider MMGY Global team.  We are looking for someone who is motivated, energetic, organised and creative, with the ability to multi-task, prioritise and take full responsibility for their own workload as well as overseeing a matrixed team. Flawless execution, an eye for detail, financial efficiencies and an exceptional grasp of the social media and digital influencer landscape are also essential requirements for the role.

In return you will get the chance to work within a multi award winning agency, overseeing an exceptional portfolio of clients working alongside some of the best talent in the business. We offer a competitive salary and great benefits.
