EssenceMediacom challenges conventional thinking to build, propel, and supercharge our clients’ businesses at scale and lead our industry in critical areas such as diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability.

What it’s really like to work here?

EssenceMediacom understands that our people are tasked with big goals: building breakthrough growth for brands and leading with breakthrough thinking in our industry. Our people are at the heart of this work because their ideas will enable us to decode the intersections of people, content, and technology to bring our aspirations to life.

This collective culture will be our “new power” where ideas are freely exchanged, and collaboration is actively encouraged in a place where you can innovate in our hyperconnected world.

This position sits within the Global Investment department of EssenceMediacom, now the number one leading communications agency worldwide.

The Global Investment Management function has three core objectives:

Develop or improve existing tracking of year-on-year media buying performance and efficiencies vs. targets using our proprietary tools across all media (emphasis on TV and Digital) while identifying opportunities for value delivery improvements

Proactively develop knowledge of how media buying, and performance tracking works and the various methodologies used to track and quantify savings delivery and apply and consider a “learn and share” mentality with your team

Support and mentor teams in local markets to ensure they fully understand our commitments, buying measurement methodology and the savings calculation process, in addition to identifying risks and opportunities

Essential Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

The candidate should possess a minimum of 3 years’ experience gained in a global/international investment/accountability role in a media agency or alternatively at a media auditing firm

Given the technicality of the job profile, where very precise and quantified outcomes need to be delivered, high-level analytical and IT skills as well as great attention to detail are essential

Working with a network of local operators on globally aligned businesses can often present big challenges in terms of collaboration and a certain degree of resilience and patience is therefore required
