HAVAS LYNX is a global communications group, formed from Creative Lynx and Havas 4D, leading digital agencies in Europe and the USA respectively. With 250 employees and supported by the wider HAVAS network, we deliver truly global campaigns based on robust local insight. As a group we have been responsible for a series of industry firsts in social media, closed-loop marketing and mobile. We actively partner with Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford Persuasive Tech Lab and Practice Fusion and these partnerships facilitate our ability to innovate on behalf of our clients across the healthcare, education and culture sectors. Blending this innovation with sector insight and design pedigree, our team of over 125 professionals, based in the heart of Manchester city centre comprise our European head office, from which we work closely with colleagues in London and New York.

We are proud winners of prestigious awards for effectiveness and innovation, and as part of our continued growth, we now have an opportunity for an Interactive Developer to join our Manchester based team.

We would like to hear from candidates who have experience of the following:

• AS3 (and AS2)
• Adobe AIR

Additionally, experience in the below would be ideal, but not essential:

We’d like to hear from someone who has experience of liaising with Account Managers or internal colleagues on the development of projects, making recommendations as to how projects might progress more smoothly.

Our interactive team is responsible for adding that extra special something to our projects, which are primarily for clients in the pharmaceutical sector and include games that help to convince kids to take their medication, or show doctors how a drug works through clear, interactive animation and description. This is a chance to use your skills to make a real difference!

The progression and advancement of all of our team members is extremely important to us, this means that we’re looking for applicants who have some experience of sharing knowledge and benefits of their technical expertise with those who are more junior than themselves.
