• Work with the global specialist’s team members to execute ongoing financial audits
• Creation of agency model case studies to aid benchmarking and identify needs
• Assisting with pitch management through the gathering of insights to create the methodology, agile management of the process and collation of results to support client decision making
• Digital ecosystem benchmarking to investigate brand performance online in an independent way
• Ownership of the project plan, keeping the team focused on tasks needed and managing timelines across the work
• Coordination of key meetings, preparing any pre-reads and following up with actions and contact notes
• Reviews of the scope of work to ensure deliverables are on track
• Identification of any new opportunities to expand our services to clients through project discovering work and identification of any additional support clients need throughout project delivery
• Lead and motivate internal team members to achieve targets and deliver high quality work

THE CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate will have experience in the marketing services or related sector with 3-7 years of working experience. It’s crucial the candidate has a global mindset, with previous experience working on global clients and within global teams an asset for the role.

At MediaSense we work in small project teams of three to eight core team members (with the ability to access specialist capabilities as needed), so this role needs a self-starter who is confident in asking for support when needed along with creating and executing solutions for our clients.
