Why work for LSN?
The right people quickly progress and gain responsibility at LSN. We’re a small business and we all wear a lot of hats (which gets quite hot). This means that you’ll probably be asked to do other things, all the time, that lie outside the basic skill set above. There is a lot of scope for advancement at LSN for the right person.
We demand that people who work for LSN be self-starting, initiative-rich, “I’ll do that!” people. In return, there’s opportunity at LSN to take on bigger roles faster than you would at any large, lumbering media business. All it takes is brilliance, the ability to read people’s minds, some client-facing nous and the will and capability to do stuff really, really well.
