Job Description

Business Director - Independent Media Agency (Planning-Led)



Is your CV ready If so, and you are confident this is the role for you, make sure to apply asap.

London | £80,000 + Bonus | Permanent



We're partnering exclusively with a fast-growing, independent media agency on a newly available Business Director role, working across a genuinely exciting and balanced mix of performance and brand clients- including a major retail account and one of the agency's longest-standing, most strategically important relationships.



This is a hands-on, client-facing leadership role sitting within one of the agency's largest planning teams, working closely with a highly respected Client MD and a fast-rising Group BD. You'll take ownership of the day-to-day client relationship, lead a small direct team with a wider group of indirect reports, and act as a senior, trusted voice for two demanding, high-profile accounts.



What you'll be doing:




  • Owning senior client relationships across a mix of brand and performance accounts


Leading and developing a small team (line managing directly, with a wider group overseen indirectly)


Driving strategic, cross-channel media planning — this is a traditional planning-led role, not a single-channel specialism


Acting as a confident, credible voice in client comms, including pushing back and managing expectations on demanding accounts


Working closely with senior leadership as part of the agency's wider BD community




What we're looking for:




  • Strong, holistic media planning background — cross-channel experience essential, digital-only backgrounds won't be the right fit here


Independent agency experience (candidates purely from large networks have historically found the pace and culture a tougher adjustment)


Around 8 years' agency experience, ideally already operating at Business Director level (or very close to it)


Confident, credible and comfortable managing senior, high-expectation clients


Prior line management experience




What's on offer:




  • £80,000 base + bonus


Full company benefits




This is a confidential search being run exclusively through Major Players. xwwtmva If you'd like a fully confidential conversation about the role, the agency, or your fit, please reach out directly.
