Responsibilities
- Delivering Client Performance
- Take ownership of campaign delivery quality across the portfolio — ensuring all activity is set up, trafficked and optimised to the highest standard and in line with Mindshare best practice
- Act as the senior day-to-day client contact across assigned accounts, engaging at Director level with stakeholders across client and partner agency organisations
- Oversee QA of campaign activation, performance optimisation and regular reporting cycles across all active accounts
- Maintain awareness of the distinct requirements of each client vertical — including compliance considerations, audience governance frameworks and measurement standards relevant to financial services and regulated environments
- Attend all key internal and external client meetings; deliver outstanding levels of proactive client service
- Provide senior oversight of the global consumer goods account — managing campaign planning, budgeting, audience strategy and client liaison within the defined scope
- Finance & Scope Management
- Maintain accurate PO tracking, invoicing and quarterly reconciliations across all accounts
Requirements
- A strong, demonstrable primary specialism in Paid Social — including hands-on experience managing campaigns across Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LinkedIn, YouTube and X/Twitter, across both brand awareness and performance/conversion objectives
- Proven ability to develop and implement audience strategies within Paid Social, including B2C consumer segmentation, B2B professional targeting and the governance considerations relevant to regulated industries
- Strong complementary experience in at least one additional biddable discipline — Paid Search (Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, SA360) or Programmatic (DV360, The Trade Desk or equivalent) — at a level sufficient to advise on strategy, review delivery quality and integrate activity coherently across channels
- Cross-channel experience is a firm requirement: candidates who have operated exclusively within a single channel will not have the breadth this role demands
- Familiarity with always-on campaign structures alongside burst/campaign-led activity, and the operational requirements of managing both simultaneously
- Demonstrated experience managing senior client relationships, including the ability to present confidently at Director level and above
- Proven ability to manage multiple client workstreams simultaneously, adapting approach and output to different client cultures and governance requirements
- Comfort operating in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments, where audience rules, content approval processes and media buying governance are part of everyday delivery
- Experience managing stakeholders across integrated agency team structures and client-side organisations
- Strong hands-on experience overseeing campaign setup, QA, trafficking and ongoing optimisation across paid social and biddable platforms
Preferred
- Experience across both Paid Search and Programmatic in addition to Paid Social
- Familiarity with financial services, asset management or other regulated advertising environments — including professional vs. retail/individual audience segmentation
- Familiarity with technology or B2B marketing environments, particularly campaigns designed to build preference for platform or ingredient brands
