Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more. A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products. Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team, and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
Equal Opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate to drive success. We believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense. As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with. Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural, and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection, and shared purpose. McCann is a disability confident committed employer and will guarantee an interview to any disabled candidate who meets the minimum criteria for this role; please let us know when you apply if you are eligible and any adjustments you may need to the recruitment process to enable you to perform at your best.
