- Liaise with a variety of internal and external stakeholders to activate FMCG branded activity across a range of channels, including on and offsite media within agreed timelines, following creative guidelines.
- Support in driving commercials for the categories under your remit to help contribute towards wider business targets, manage forecasts and report on these.
- Work to ensure all content (including but not limited to media plans, status reports, performance reviews and recommendations) is completed to a high standard, showcasing the team at its best.
- Build positive relationships and communicate confidently with our clients, nuancing your approach with different stakeholders and ensure you present yourself as a trusted member of the team.
- Support wider organisational projects, helping to create a great workplace and supporting with SMG's mission to lead connected commerce marketing.
- Support the senior leadership team in governance, ad hoc requests and meetings as required.

**What you'll need to have / be**
- Experience of working towards ambitious targets.
- A proven track record in the development and planning of strategic marketing campaigns.
- A ‘can do’ attitude and strong work ethic to get stuck in and provide best in class marketing campaigns and client servicing.
- The ability to "embrace change": As one of our key behaviours here at SMG, you’ll be brave in trying new things and taking on new opportunities that will deliver both business and personal growth.
- Great organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
- Exceptional communication and relationship skills for managing key stakeholders.
- P.s. we try really hard to make sure that we list only essential criteria here, BUT if you think you can do an amazing job, yet don't have every single thing on this list, we'd still love to hear from you._
