The Opportunity
An award-winning global media agency is looking for a Media Planning Manager to join a specialist integrated planning team, working across one of the agency's largest and most high-profile international accounts.
This is a planning-led role with a strong emphasis on offline media (approximately 80%) alongside integrated cross-channel planning (20%), covering TV, linear, retail media and broader brand campaigns. While an understanding of digital activation is advantageous, however the role is focused on strategic planning rather than hands-on activation.
Working within a collaborative planning team, you'll partner closely with activation and specialist teams while leading campaigns across multiple European and international markets. This is an excellent opportunity to work with global stakeholders, influence media strategy, and gain exposure to industry-leading planning tools and technology.
The Role
- Lead the development and delivery of integrated media plans across offline and cross-channel campaigns.
- Own campaign planning and day-to-day management from briefing through to delivery, ensuring campaigns are executed accurately and on time.
- Act as a key client contact, managing campaign objectives, communications and strategic recommendations.
- Collaborate with planning, activation and specialist teams to deliver campaigns across multiple European and international markets.
- Present media strategies, insights and recommendations using planning, reporting and data visualisation platforms.
- Analyse campaign performance and provide actionable recommendations to optimise future activity.
- Manage campaign budgets, financial reconciliations and delivery processes.
- Build strong relationships with international stakeholders, ensuring consistency and best practice across regions.
- Mentor and support junior team members, helping to develop their planning capability and day-to-day account management skills.
