English term or phrase: back and front office
You’ll have a passion for doing things differently and be hungry to reflect this back and front office – scoping, briefing and always pushing for the best creative solutions.
J'ai bien trouvé "arrière guichet" et "guichet" (ou même les expressions laissées en anglais), mais ça ne me convient pas du tout. Des idées svp !

Explanation:
Au risque de choqué les puristes ;-), je pense que le mieux est de conserver les termes anglais en les mettant en italique.

Veuillez pardonner l'énorme faute qui s'est glissée dans mon explication.... Il fallait bien sûr lire "Au risque de choquer"... c'est clair que j'ai probablement choqué tout le monde avec une telle "boulette" !!!
