CAMPAIGN MANAGER (PROGRAMMATIC)

ROLE.

We’re looking for a Campaign Manager to lead the planning, delivery and optimisation of programmatic and emerging digital media campaigns for our valued clients.

This is a client-facing role, sitting at the intersection of strategy, media planning and performance. You’ll own the campaign approach end-to-end: identifying the right partners, shaping media plans, briefing activation teams, and ensuring campaigns deliver (and keep getting better). This role is about smart planning, strong partnerships and relentless performance improvement.

• Client success - as a trusted expert, you’ll help clients navigate the complex digital landscape to unlock success with your approach

• Business growth - you’ll help our growth and new business team to deliver integrated responses across pitches and upsell opportunities

• Media innovation - you’ll take an active role in building a meaningful and forward-thinking approach (not just deliver the same thing everything else is doing)

• Delivery excellence - above all, you’ll deliver high quality work that you’ll see through to impact, building great relationships with agency teams, our clients and media partners

• Utilise company platforms (such as Asana, Float, and other internal tools) effectively to manage tasks, resources, and workflows.

• Log time accurately and on schedule, providing transparency and supporting operational planning.

BEHAVIOURS IN THIS ROLE.

• Highly personable : you’ll be comfortable building relationships quickly with key stakeholders across our partners and clients

• Gets to the bottom of the problem : you’re solution oriented and someone that doesn’t give up until they’ve found the right answer to the question

• Embraces collaboration : you’re a team player and excel at bringing the right people together to deliver success

• Cuts noise to signal : you’re data-driven, analytical - but most importantly, you know how to prioritise and laser in on what matters, not what doesn’t

• Commercially creative: you’re someone that brings ideas to commercial conversations and can build programmes where every party wins, where the path forward isn’t obvious
