In today’s fast‑moving, noisy, and fragmented media landscape, we help clients navigate what’s next by knowing which innovations truly matter.

  • Build and maintain senior‑level relationships with media partners, leveraging opportunities for innovation and value creation.
  • Coach and mentor investment managers, fostering growth, collaboration, and operational excellence.
  • Lead innovation and test‑and‑learn initiatives across emerging trading platforms, sponsorships, and digitalisation of traditional channels.
  • Work closely with planning teams and stakeholders to maximise outcomes and deliver holistic investment solutions.

What will set you up for success?

  • 8+ years of proven investment expertise in media investment, trading, and negotiation across multiple channels.
  • Strategic leadership ability to set direction, inspire teams, and elevate craft standards within a fast‑paced agency environment.
  • Commercial acumen with a strong understanding of forecasting, budgeting, and financial management.
  • In‑depth market knowledge of media products, dynamics, and evolving digital trends.
  • Relationship management skills, building trusted partnerships with clients, media owners, and internal stakeholders.
  • Analytical and problem‑solving skills to interpret complex data and translate insights into actionable strategies.
  • Excellent communication skills, confident presenting to senior stakeholders and influencing decision‑making.
