Planning & Investment Execs - entry level

Are you solving the right problem? Or just the obvious one?
That's the kind of question we ask every day at December19. We're The Bigger Question Agency, and we're looking for someone who thinks the same way.
This role is entry-level in name only - from day one, you'll be right in the thick of it: supporting the delivery of strategically-led campaigns, keeping the operational engine running smoothly, and contributing to the kind of thinking that genuinely moves the needle for our clients.
You'll work closely with our planning and investment teams, learning the craft of media planning across channels, and developing the interrogation instinct that defines how we work.
You'll take on the admin too and you'll bring a curious mind to data: not just what the numbers say, but what they're actually telling you.

What We're Looking For
We'll teach you the day-to-day job and will fully support you on your learning journey - what we can't teach is attitude, curiosity, and the willingness to ask why, so here’s what the mindset we would like to see:
• You're into media and brands. You want to know more and understand how it all works.
• You like getting into the numbers. Interrogating the data around until you find what's really going on
• You're good with people. You listen, you collaborate, and you enjoy teamwork
• You have a strong ability to organise and stay on top of things. Busy days, lots of moving parts isn’t daunting for you
• You like to interrogate – if something doesn’t make sense, you’re happy to ask why

What We're Not Looking For
A particular degree, background or CV. We hire on merit, potential, and the ability to think. We want interrogators, not order-takers.

To Apply
Send your CV and a covering letter to [email protected] . Tell us why you want to start your career in media, what draws you to December19. Most importantly, show us how you think. Please write this yourself.

The Process
• Deadline for applications Thursday 1st October
• Candidates selected for the next stage will be informed by Friday 9th October
• We will select applications to take forward to a recruitment day involving practical tasks, interactive exercises, and interviews held at D19’s office in Clerkenwell, London on Thursday 15th October – so please ensure you’re available if successful through the first stage.
