Senior Account Manager, Media Planning

The opportunity

Our client, a growing media agency working across a broad range of client sectors, is looking for a Senior Account Manager to take ownership of media planning across the full channel mix. This isn't a role tied to one discipline, you'll be working across TV, digital, social, print, out of home and everything in between, building strategies that make sense for the client and the objective, not just the channel that's easiest to plan.

You'll be the person clients trust to think holistically about where their budget works hardest, backed by strong digital fluency and a genuine handle on how all media types fit together.
