Resource Manager

Company Description

At Publicis London we have one founding belief – that nothing is more valuable than an idea that Moves The World. We’re focused on the absolute best of international creativity: be that British brands looking to export or Global brands requiring a London hub. We want the best talent from around the globe to bring their skills to our agency.
Some of our clients include L’Oréal, Essity, Nestlé, Heineken, Renault/Dacia, and many more.
Our values are designed to guide the way we behave. We have three:
Empathy: listen with intent, look out for each other, bust your biases.
Invention: Find inspiration in strange places. Never stop experimenting. Make new things and make them useful.
Action: make it collaborative, make it happen, make it mean something.

Our Commitment
Diversity and inclusion is a core part of who we are at Publicis London. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group – whatever their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion doesn’t just fuel our creativity and innovation, it brings us closer to our people and audiences. We will continue to strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and more importantly comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.
