Helpful Change. What does this mean to you?

To us at LYNX, it means many things. Whether it's communicating with a Doctor to educate them about the latest treatment, or whether it's creating tools for patients which provide them with a better quality of life.

How does this involve technology?

We need to ensure we are communicating with our various audiences in an appropriate, engaging and innovative way. The majority of the tools we produce are digital and we strive to stay abreast of new technology to ensure they exceed the client's brief and are effective for the end-user.

What does this mean for me?

We are pleased to be growing our team - if you are an established Digital Account Manager, Project Manager or Producer, who is adept at managing clients and delivering digital solutions, then we'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about technology - within this particular team, we have a forward-thinking client who is looking to push the boundaries to stay ahead of the competition. Here, you'll act as the lead contact for the client, Account Handlers and Production Teams and will work to produce a wide range of outputs - whether its mobile applications, websites, games or interactive pieces for exhibitions. Whatever the output, you should be eager to really get to grips with a project - we see our role to be working in collaboration with clients, to take their initial ideas and help shape them into something amazing; always considering cutting edge technology and the most innovative, yet appropriate way to utilise it. We're therefore looking for someone who can draw on their own experience and confidently communicate their own opinions and ideas for digital initiatives at a strategic level, presenting this in an appropriate and engaging way to enthuse our stakeholders.

This role also places focus on delivery - it's a hands on, responsible position so you'll need to be well-versed in managing a range of personalities, ensuring to pull in the right people at the right time to ensure a job runs smoothly. We're a full service agency, so you'll work with a range of in-house teams, from our Interactive Developers, to Creatives and UX Architects, seamlessly sharing and utilising your knowledge to bring digital innovation to life and meet out client's objectives. Whilst you'll be working within the healthcare sector, it's not essential that you have prior experience or knowledge of this industry; what's key is your client facing abilities, your transferable skills, plus your knowledge and passion of all things digital.

Personality is key and we're looking for a team player who displays excellent initiative, who is proactive in problem solving and who remains calm under pressure. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is seeking a busy, responsible and varied role - so you should be passionate, possess real drive and have your own ideas, alongside the confidence to share them. In return, we offer a supportive environment where there is a high level of focus on your career development - we're proud to offer our bespoke internal training programme; you can view more on LX Academy via the blog area of our website - We're also very proud of our heritage and culture and we work in a sociable, friendly environment; take a look at our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter via and for a closer look at what we get up to socially.
