Move Forward: The Opportunity

Own an allocated portfolio of paid media campaigns across EMEIA & Pacific end-to-end, from planning and activation through to optimisation, reporting and learning.

The role provides high-quality in-house activation capability across internally activated media channels and is expected to operate independently on significant campaigns.

Alongside strong core activation skills, the role should bring complementary technical capability that broadens the team's future potential. Experience in programmatic buying, DV360 or another DSP, and BVOD/CTV activation is particularly valuable as the team assesses opportunities to bring selected activity in house.

The Media Manager is an experienced media operator who independently owns a portfolio of campaigns from planning through activation and learning, providing immediate capacity across core platforms while bringing complementary technical expertise that can expand the future in-house media capability.
