Media Strategy & Planning Director\n
3-Month FTC | £75,000-£85,000 Pro Rata | UK Remote (Occasional Travel to London)
\n
We're partnering with a leading global digital marketing agency to find an experienced Media Strategy & Planning Director to support a portfolio of high-profile client accounts.
\n
This is an excellent opportunity for a strategic media leader who can hit the ground running, developing integrated media strategies and working closely with both clients and channel specialists to deliver commercially driven plans.
\n
The role is open to candidates based anywhere in the UK, with remote working available and occasional travel to the London office for key meetings.
The Role\n
You'll lead media strategy across two key client accounts, translating business objectives into integrated media plans and working collaboratively with specialist teams to bring those strategies to life.
\n
This is a hands-on strategic role, so we're looking for someone who is equally comfortable presenting to senior clients as they are working alongside activation teams to shape recommendations and identify opportunities for growth.
Responsibilities\n
Develop integrated media strategies across multiple channels.
Translate client objectives into clear, commercially driven media plans.
Partner with Paid Search, Paid Social, Programmatic and Planning specialists.
Present strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders.
Analyse performance and identify opportunities to improve media effectiveness.
Build strong client relationships and become a trusted strategic partner.
Work collaboratively across internal teams to ensure seamless delivery.
About You\n
Significant media strategy and communications planning experience gained within a media or digital agency.
Strong understanding of the wider media landscape across digital and offline channels.
Proven experience leading strategy for large or complex client accounts.
Excellent client-facing, presentation and stakeholder management skills.
Able to work autonomously and make an immediate impact.
Experience collaborating closely with cross-functional media teams.
What's on Offer\n
3-month Fixed-Term Contract
£75,000-£85,000 pro rata
Remote-first, open to candidates based anywhere in the UK.
Occasional travel to London for client and team meetings.
Immediate start preferred.
\n
If you're an experienced Media Strategy & Planning Director looking for your next contract and enjoy solving strategic challenges for high-profile brands, we'd love to hear from you.
