BORN READY: Client Services Apprenticeship

Are you curious about how brands are built on social?
Love looking out for the latest campaigns and wondering how they’re made?
Looking for a way into the industry without needing a degree or prior experience?

This one’s for you.

Following the success of our summer trainee scheme, we’re launching our first-ever Born Ready Apprenticeship designed to open doors, grow grassroots diversity, and give emerging talent a paid route into the industry. We are looking for two exceptional people who will train up to become fully-fledged Account Executives, with real work, real responsibility and a recognised marketing qualification through Apprentify.

If you’ve ever wondered how campaigns are made or what happens inside a creative agency, this is your chance to learn it from the ground up.

👋🏽 WHO WE ARE

We are Born Social, a social-first creative agency that brings brand building into the social era. We have a track record of delivering transformation for iconic brands like Guinness, Ford, and Barclays, led by our team of social natives and brand experts, underpinned by technology.

Backed by the strength of a brilliant business that's proudly B-Corp certified, we're consistently recognised as one of the best places to work.

💥 WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

As an Account Executive Apprentice, you’ll join our Client Services team and support the day-to-day delivery of our work across some of our most exciting brands.

Account Operations

• Managing daily tasks across your accounts, from sharing creative with clients to uploading content on time
• Scheduling meetings, capturing actions and keeping everyone organised
• Working closely with Project Management to build timelines and ensure the team has what they need

Account Management

• Supporting your Account Manager with briefs, decks, agendas and project documents
• Helping communicate priorities using tools like Slack, Gmail and Productive
• Liaising with clients and internal teams - developing the brilliant communication skills the apprenticeship requires

Delivery & Quality

• Reviewing creative assets to ensure accuracy, brand alignment and compliance
• Helping track changes to timelines and deliverables

You’ll be a key part of how great work gets delivered - making things happen, solving problems early and helping our client teams feel supported every step of the way.

💛 VALUES

Our values aim to pinpoint the magic ingredients for us at our best. We look for people who share our values and can add to our culture.

⚡️ See Challenge as Opportunity... is about our attitude and to be very clear, this is not a value of optimism, nor is it about loving every challenge.

⚡️ Say It Simply... is how we communicate. Think of the basic rules of communication - honest, clear, confident.

⚡️ Do What You Say... is the crux of our reputation and longevity. When you join Born Social, our trust is fully given. It is yours to lose.

⚡️ Make Each Other Better... is about our culture of collaboration and commitment to development. We are only as good as the people around us so we all take responsibility for developing each other, as well as ourselves.

⚡️ Consciously Contribute...is bigger than all the others.  It ensures we grow right. It broadens our focus beyond Born Social and cements our commitment to doing what’s just, not what’s easy or immediately self-serving.  

🙋🏽‍♂️ EVERYONE'S WELCOME

We celebrate different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds here at Born Social. As an equal opportunities employer, we believe in the power of an inclusive and representative team. We welcome applications regardless of race, religion or belief, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, family, or parental status. We don’t simply comply with the Equality Act, we go further and take pride in building a stronger and more creative work environment, committed to inclusion, diversity, and representation.
