For advertisers, we offer meaningful, measurable routes to student audiences. The more aligned these incentives are, the more defensible and scalable our business becomes. The Opportunity Growth is organised into six sector pods. Each pod owns a vertical: FMCG & Hospitality, Lifestyle, Tech & Entertainment, Travel & Recruitment, PBSA, or Agencies. As Account Director, you own the sector strategy, targets, and account allocation for your pod. You'll manage 2-3 Account Growth Managers and carry your own accounts.
