To support our unprecedented expansion mandate for 2026 and 2027, our Edinburgh firm is restructuring its core leadership pipeline. We represent market leaders across diverse sectors—including Mercedes-Benz, EE, Verisure, and E-On Next—spearheading high-yield campaigns in Events, B2B, Retail, and Field sectors. \n To satisfy strict client growth metrics and scale into new domestic territories, we must immediately develop entry-level talent into Junior Executive positions, with the explicit trajectory of stepping into Senior Director roles within the next 12 to 18 months. This is not a static placement; it is a rapid-advancement track designed to build the future partners of our enterprise. \n \n The Advancement Architecture \n Our framework is strictly performance-driven, ensuring your career timeline is dictated by your results rather than corporate longevity. \n \n Phase 1: Brand Integration & Junior Management Readiness \n\n • Primary Focus: Master the foundational mechanics of our client portfolios. You will actively execute multi-channel campaigns (Retail, B2B, Events, and Field marketing) to understand customer acquisition firsthand.\n, • The Transition: Upon hitting initial client benchmarks, you will be fast-tracked into a Junior Management role.

In this role, you will autonomously oversee a distinct client campaign or drive our multi-city expansion by launching an entirely new territory.\n\n \n Core Responsibilities \n\n • Act as the frontline representative for our high-profile clients, securing market share through face-to-face consultancy.\n, • Take swift accountability for team performance, mentoring junior brand representatives to meet both quality and volume targets.\n, • Collaborate directly with the senior executive team to analyze market data, adjust campaign strategies, and fulfill expansion forecasts.\n, • Participate heavily in organisational development, evolving from a trainee into a facilitator of corporate strategy sessions.\n\n \n Candidate Profile \n\n • Growth Mindset: You are consciously seeking a fast-paced environment where your progression is tied to your direct output, not a fixed corporate ladder.\n, • Leadership Instincts: Prior experience in competitive environments, team captaincy, or professional mentorship is highly valued. You must be comfortable taking charge of a room.\n, • Communication Fluidity: The ability to seamlessly pivot your communication style whether engaging a premium consumer, a B2B stakeholder, or an internal team.\n, • Availability: Must be currently based in, or immediately relocating to, Edinburgh and prepared to commence full-time training.\n\n \n What We Offer \n\n • A highly competitive, performance-incentivised remuneration structure with uncapped earning thresholds.\n, • A transparent roadmap detailing exactly what is required to secure both your Junior and Senior management promotions.\n, • Direct access and daily mentorship from established managing directors.\n, • Corporate travel opportunities, including national networking galas, leadership retreats, and international industry awards.\n\n \n To Apply \n Please submit your updated CV or LinkedIn profile via Apply Now.
