About Wilson Fletcher

You will be joining a business innovation consultancy that works with established companies who need to modernise their business and bring innovative new services to market. Essentially, we help companies with a history compete with startups who have no legacy. The challenge is that we often can't talk about who we're working with – we're a bit of a well-kept secret – but we're looking to work with you to grow our reputation, telling our story in interesting ways to the wider business world.

Clients like to work with us because we're not afraid to really challenge them in order to help them become better digital businesses. No project is one-size-fits-all, and it's our bespoke offering, underpinned by almost 20 years' experience as a company and brilliant, interested minds that combine to make a lasting and real difference to the businesses we work with.

Anything else?

We want you to work with us to make this role the most effective it can be: come with ideas, suggestions and challenges, and we'll listen. It's important that anyone who joins the company feels welcomed and supported through their work with us, something we're committed to doing.

Please send your CV, portfolio and day rate to workwithus@wilsonfletcher.com, by Thursday 2nd December.

What’s it like working at Wilson Fletcher?

Our first 18 years have been built on a distinctive set of principles, and these have never been more important as we build the next generation of the company.

These should give you a flavour of what its like to work here

A small, senior team that clients work with closely.
A flat culture where everyone has a voice in everything we do and there are absolutely no communications boundaries
A culture more like a family than a company, where everyone is the same in the studio as the bar.
A place where doing the best possible work always comes before making as much money as possible.
A team that works together every day because collaboration always leads to better thinking.
A company where ‘we’ always, and very naturally, comes before ‘I’.
A place for people who don’t take themselves too seriously, where wine o’clock is a thing and the dog a force of nature.
