  • Demonstrate excellent patch management, especially trading administration, and contribute to process improvements within the team.

  • An excellent knowledge of Global brands and audiences and a good understanding of your agencies’ and clients’ motivations.

  • Encourage trust and co-operation from our customers.

  • Focus on learning how to use Global’s business systems, primarily gPlan: this includes technical skills and required workflow.

  • Get to know operational and sales needs and actively contribute to achieving key performance indicators (KPIs).

  • Familiarise yourself with your agency and client portfolio and customer service requirements.

  • Establish good relationships with key internal partners outside your team, such as; Inventory Operations (capacity management) and Revenue Management (pricing).


Responsibilities of the role

  • Build expertise in Global’s business systems and processes, to ensure excellent delivery.

  • Ensure all campaigns are planned accurately against requirements.

  • Optimise customer requests through gPlan and collaborate closely with Inventory Operations and Pricing to ensure clients’ requirements are delivered optimally.

  • Carry out administrative and reporting tasks accurately and efficiently.

  • Proactively Manage a large volume of daily administrative and data-led tasks whilst maintaining excellent attention to detail.

  • Provide excellent service both internally and externally.

  • Sell the benefits of alternative scenarios, crafting the best solution(s) for the customer and for Global.

  • Build a detailed understanding of media pricing (relevant costs and deal mechanics)

  • Develop an understanding of how we monetise our data and inventory portfolio.

  • Work closely with your Group Agency Managers to identify areas of opportunity and growth within your patch of business; creating proposals and pitches to take to customers.

What you will need:

  • Manage and prioritise your work, ensuring all deadlines are met whilst maintaining excellent attention to detail

  • Have a can-do attitude that adapts to our clients changing business needs.

  • Build phenomenal relationships with internal and external partners.

  • Work well in a team, communicating and collaborating effectively.

  • Be a problem-solver, using your initiative to find solutions.

  • Proactively seek to break habits and in doing so, deliver better results.

  • Show adaptability and resilience
