Description

Jones Knowles Ritchie is a branding business, founded in 1990 and proudly independent ever since.

We started out in the world of packaging, but now we're worldwide—from three founders, to more than 350 of us across the UK, USA and China. Together, we build and deliver brands across the entire consumer experience.

But even more important than what we do, is why we do it. We're here to inspire brands and people to be their true selves. To be brave. Be tenacious. And above all, be yourself. Because we believe that's the only way to truly be distinctive, everywhere.
We are hiring now for a Group Business Director.

Flexibility is incredibly important and you'll be comfortable with changes along the process. Furthermore, you'll be constantly looking for, building and promoting big ideas to take your brand business to new heights, with a critical eye on the process and the confidence to stand up for what's right and what works.
