• Supporting clients and leading internal stakeholders on internal and external operating model assessments and the implementation of key change recommendations.
• Building out post pitch biddable and quality KPI tracking programmes for clients and managing teams in multiple markets to deliver and track savings.
• Working on Ad Tech projects for media owners and projects classified as digital bespoke services.
• New business development.

For your projects, you would need to:

• Support accurate project forecasting for resource allocation and timing.
• Monitor time‑to‑deliver and utilisation data.

Outside of your client’s responsibilities, we are looking for someone to help support and develop our Digital Practice capabilities and offering, including, but not limited to:

• Support the development of the Digital Practice capability (methods, people, ways of working, use of technology) used to create value through our products for our clients.
• Contribute to the establishment and maintenance of best‑practice guidance and delivery playbooks, templates, governance guides and FAQs to ensure global consistency.
• Work with team members to monitor market changes and changes in client needs to identify changes in capability needed to serve our clients.

The Candidate

• At least eight years of experience in media agencies, consulting or client side.
