Do you have the background to lead and scale our media solutions practice? See our exciting opportunity below and apply now.
What will your day look like?
You will be responsible for identifying, winning, and leading strategic engagements that turn client-owned data (1PD, CRM, loyalty, customer signals) into executable, measurable action across paid and owned channels. You will elevate client maturity, integrate client data with WPP’s media ecosystem, and partner with agency teams to drive commercial growth.
This is a consulting and growth leadership role—focused on strategy, client leadership, and solution design rather than hands-on campaign execution or pure platform implementation.
