Anna Jacobs

Managing Director EMR

Having climbed the recruitment career ladder for a decade, at both large corporates and smaller specialists like EMR, Anna joined the team as Director of EMR’s Interim/ Contract and Delivery (all graduate entry-mid level permanent hires) practices in January 2019.Anna always conducts herself with professionalism and honesty, and in August 2020 was promoted to Managing Director. She has experienced marketing, digital and technology recruitment from a wide range of industries and brings a wealth of knowledge to the team that is well beyond her years!

“My leadership style is honest, collaborative, supportive and at times direct! I have continued my personal interest in Psychology beyond university and believe in the power of a positive mindset. I like to constantly challenge myself and to always strive for the best result possible for my candidates, clients and colleagues.”

Anna is also a mum to Harry (five) and Chloe (2) and works flexibly at EMR, as do many of EMR’s management team. She is a staunch supporter of supporting women’s marketing careers and pay equality in the industry and is especially proud to be a judge in this year’s Women In Marketing Awards.

“As a fair and equal recruiter EMR always believes that the right person should be in the right job, no matter what their gender. But it’s true that some women need more support to progress further and earn more, as our annual Market Trend Report consistently shows. Having tackled many of these issues head on in my own career, I know just how important it is and will always share my advice with both candidates and employers to help to try and even out the balance.”
