An exciting Programmatic Video & Display Director opportunity has arisen at one of the UK’s most exciting and forward-thinking independent media agencies, which really value its team.

They are looking for a strategic, hands-on Programmatic Video & Display Director to partner with high-growth, entrepreneurial brands - many of them privately backed, founder-led, or publicly listed SMEs that need to punch above their weight in highly competitive sectors. The agency’s entire model is tailored to these types of clients: lean, agile, and hungry for performance.

As the Online Video & Display Director, you’ll lead the planning, activation, and optimisation of cross-device campaigns (CTV, desktop, tablet, and mobile), whilst managing a specialist team and collaborating closely with clients, media owners, and tech partners.

The focus is on building best-in-class campaigns across online video and display, often integrated with broader channel strategies including AV and digital audio.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the strategic planning and execution of online video & display campaigns across all relevant platforms and develop companies which genuinely make a difference
• Oversee team performance and ensuring consistent campaign excellence
• Own senior-level client relationships
• Collaborate with key tech partners (e.g. DV360, CM360, DoubleVerify) and suppliers to keep innovation front and centre
• Drive campaign measurement, optimisation, and reporting, articulating the impact of digital channels clearly and effectively
• Contribute to broader agency growth through new business involvement and thought leadership.

Your profile:

• Strong track record of delivering and optimising online video & display campaigns across devices (CTV, mobile, desktop)
• High-level understanding of planning principles and how they apply to digital execution
• Confident leading technical implementation of campaigns, including troubleshooting and measurement
• Natural collaborator with proven experience managing both internal teams and external relationships
• Commercially astute, client-facing professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• Hands-on experience with ad tech platforms (e.g., DV360, CM360, DoubleVerify) and a strong grasp of how they fit into wider strategy.

If you thrive in a people-first, values-led culture that embraces sustainability, equity, and a collaborative spirit this is a great agency to be joining.
