We are Wiser, an award-winning Employer Branding & Early Talent agency. We build employer brands to guide the best in the biz into their dream career with our clients.
We’re a home for people who think big and expect more; where creative and recruitment meet to change the way people think about work, not to mention having the only rainforest in Farringdon.
Our creatives use design, product, film, strategy and marketing to capture what makes companies great and showcase it in the market. Our recruitment teams introduce the right people at the beginning of their careers to set these companies apart.
We believe that people will do their best work when they're in a space that enables it. And that's what we've shaped at Wiser — a culture where everyone can be real and back themselves, surrounded by high performers who take ownership of their career and make moves, no matter what their background.

ROLE
We’re looking for an Employer Brand Lead to lead one of the most exciting and fast-growing areas of our business. You’ll be employed by Wiser, but your time will be split between our HQ in Dubai and embedded on-site with some of our biggest clients: bringing bold ideas to life, influencing employer brand strategy at the highest level, and turning insight into impact.
As Employer Brand Lead, you’ll shape the way businesses are perceived in the talent market. From defining EVP to activating it across every touchpoint, you’ll blend strategy, storytelling, and creativity to help brands attract and retain the best, all with the help of our award-winning (3 RADs this year, but who's counting?) teams.
This is a unique opportunity to scale an already world-class offering. You’ll lead client relationships, push creative boundaries, and build a team to match your ambition.
Own the strategic development of employer brands for some of the world’s most exciting businesses—from insight and EVP to activation across channels and audiences.
Be the go-to expert for our clients, embedding yourself into their teams and becoming a trusted strategic advisor to senior stakeholders.
Define and deliver employer brand strategies that don’t just sit on a shelf—ones that actually shift perception, drive awareness, and inspire action.
Build and scale Wiser’s employer brand offering, developing new services, refining processes, and ensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry.
Lead a multi-disciplinary team of strategists, creatives, and account leads, setting the standard for excellence and building capability across the function.
Collaborate with our in-house creative and marketing teams to bring brand stories to life through content, campaigns, careers sites, social strategies and more.
Use research, data and insight to inform strategy and measure impact, whether it’s improving the candidate experience, shifting brand perception, or increasing engagement.
Manage P&L and commercial performance, defining pricing models, hitting revenue targets, and leading new business opportunities.
Act as a thought leader in the market, speaking at events, leading workshops, and setting the pace in employer branding conversations.
QUALIFICATIONS
6+ years of experience in employer branding, brand strategy, or a closely related agency-side experience is a must.
A proven leader with the ability to manage and grow high-performing teams across multiple functions and disciplines.
A strategic thinker who can see the bigger picture while diving into the details when needed.
An excellent communicator, with the ability to influence C-suite stakeholders and bring clarity to complexity.
Deep understanding of the employer brand lifecycle, whether that’s research and insight to EVP development and multi-channel activation.
Commercially savvy, with experience owning budgets, developing services, and leading pitches.
A creative mindset. We want someone who pushes boundaries, embraces big ideas, and can translate strategy into standout work.
A natural collaborator, able to work cross-functionally with creative, marketing, and recruitment teams to deliver integrated, high-impact work.
A love for data and insight, using it to drive smarter decisions and demonstrate real-world impact.
A passion for purpose-led work that connects people with meaning, not just messages.
PURPLE PERKS: WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
On top of your holiday allowance, the office also closes for up to 2 weeks over the festive period so we can all recharge before coming back in the new year.
Wiser Bank Holiday - a beloved Purple People tradition in the form of an extra day off in October each year to celebrate our first ever million-pound-month (Yep, it happened in 2022 and we still celebrate).
Moving House Day - one of life’s most stressful events made easier by an extra day off.
Work from Anywhere allowance - everyone has a number of days to work from home or wherever they fancy. Whether it’s staying home to snuggle your cat or working from Greece for a week in the summer, WFA is the answer.
Learning & development - our monthly ‘Wiser Way’ days give you the chance to choose from a selection of training modules taught by our leaders.
Therapy - with 5 therapists to choose from, each year you can get up to x3 therapy sessions subsidised through Wiser.
- Vitality Health Insurance - full coverage once you’ve passed probation. From necessities like the dentist, doctors and opticians, to mega rewards like Champneys, gym and travel discounts, it’s a winner.
