Do you live and breathe influencers? Want to develop award-winning partnerships and campaigns for some of the most recognised household brands in the UK?
We're looking for an influencer manager to join our growing social team, working on major UK brands!
About Cirkle
We’re a multi-award-winning consumer and B2B comms agency representing some of Britain’s best loved brands and businesses.
Quite simply, it’s our people that drive our agency and creating a culture which genuinely puts them at the heart of our operation and vision is what makes them feel counted. We are a B Corp and Blueprinted agency, and we take our commitment to using our business as a force for good seriously.
