– You’ll have confidence to lead smaller projects independently and have a good attitude to working alongside others.
– You’ll be ambitious, talented, and interested to grow and take on responsibility within & SMITH.
– Ideally you’ll be interested in moving image and animation too, to support us on small projects when needed.
– You’ll be comfortable presenting your ideas to the team and clients.
– You’ll love food and drink, eating out when you can, and have an interest in travel.
