Who We Are in the UK?
Spark Foundry, the Acceleration Agency.
We help brands to identify, learn and respond to opportunities faster than the competition.
Every client has an area of their business they need to accelerate, from short-term goals to long-term transformation.
We’ve proven our approach during the most difficult year on record. Now we’re using it to provide a launchpad for their future.
Come be an accelerator with us.
How We Accelerate
Planning: an approach that works in practice rather than theory, arming planners with the ability to create cutting edge campaigns
Intelligence: a suite of tools that give definitive answers to big questions, and uncovers actionable insights about real people
Trading: a model built on flexibility and trusted relationships, underpinned with bold guarantees
Relationships: a culture of asking challenging questions to better understand the brief – we are not a ‘yes’ agency
People: a strong history of recruiting talent from diverse backgrounds and accelerating their careers
Our Commitment
We are diverse though our experience, people and the clients we look after - and we celebrate that diversity. Our people hold us accountable to our beliefs and via regular surveys and our grass roots D&I team, The Collective, and internal next generation board, Firestarters, we hold regular events and work continually towards generating ideas, initiatives and educating our people to ensure we are a diverse and inclusive agency.
As part of our dedication to create an inclusive and diverse workforce, Spark Foundry is committed to equal access to opportunity for people without regard to race, age, sex, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.
Overview
We are hiring a Global Planning Manager to help shape international media strategy for Meta’s portfolio of brands, including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Meta Quest and Ray-Ban Glasses. You’ll join Spark Foundry International’s Planning team, working at the centre of a highly connected global account. This is an opportunity to turn strategy into effective media plans, strengthen collaboration across markets and help an innovative client navigate what comes next.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Develop post-campaign analyses that bring together biddable and offline media performance, translating results into clear insights and recommendations.
- Build trusted relationships with Meta stakeholders, local Spark Foundry teams and investment partners across the global network.
- Create client-ready status reports, presentations and investment briefs, then confidently lead discussions on progress and priorities.
- Improve account processes and ways of working, helping the team deliver consistently high-quality work.
- Support and develop junior colleagues through clear delegation, regular feedback and practical learning opportunities.
Skills We're Looking For
- Broad knowledge of media channels, gained within a media agency or a closely related environment.
- Experience developing media plans and turning strategic thinking into practical, compelling recommendations.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise multiple projects and communicate changes clearly.
- A collaborative approach to building relationships with clients, colleagues and market teams.
