We are PMG

PMG, a global independent platform company engineered for impact, integrates business strategy, media, creative, and data within a single operating model powered by our proprietary operating system, Alli. With more than 1,000 employees, PMG partners with brands including Apple, Nike, Dropbox, Experian, Sephora, and Whole Foods. Our work has earned top industry honors, including Cannes Lions and Adweek’s Media Plan of the Year, and PMG has won 40+ workplace culture awards, including being the only company to rank among Ad Age’s Best Places to Work for 11 consecutive years.

Who You Will Be Working With

At PMG, you’ll lead alongside strategists, channel experts, analysts, and creatives who believe great results start with great partnerships. You’ll guide cross-channel planning and connect the dots between audience, creative, and measurement—always with a supportive team ready to test, learn, and build on what works.

You’ll partner closely with client stakeholders and PMG leaders, shaping roadmaps, sharing insights, and helping teams operate with clarity and confidence. You’ll also mentor teammates, create space for new ideas, and champion thoughtful process improvements that raise the bar for everyone.

If you’re excited to lead with empathy, collaborate deeply, and drive meaningful growth through connected retail media, you’ll thrive here.

As a Lead in Retail Media, if you’re excited about building strong client relationships, collaborating across teams, and helping brands achieve meaningful growth through smart, connected media, this is the place to do your best work.

What You Will Do

  • Lead end-to-end retail media strategy across accounts—aligning tactics in search and display with clear business objectives and measurement plans.
  • Own large-scale campaign orchestration (SP, SB, SD and display), ensuring pacing, audience strategy, and creative deployment are dialed for impact.
  • Guide and develop junior team members; oversee campaign architectures, QA, forecasting approaches, and ways of working that raise the bar.
  • Lead strategic conversations with client stakeholders; present performance insights and recommendations in executive forums with clarity and confidence.
  • Partner with platform reps to evaluate and test new betas/formats; translate wins into scalable playbooks for active programs.
  • Collaborate with Retail Operations to align inventory, pricing, and PDP improvements with paid media plans and retail calendars.
  • Champion use of Velocity to build views, surface competitive/category signals, and improve forecasting and diagnostics.
  • Leverage AMC (Amazon Marketing Cloud) to run deeper analyses, audience explorations, and incrementality studies; turn findings into actionable roadmap items.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
