About the Role:
MG OMD is looking for a Paid Social Account Director to lead the John Lewis paid social account, driving strategy, innovation, and performance for one of the UK's most iconic retail brands. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced paid social specialist to take ownership of a high-profile client, managing large-scale campaigns and shaping the future of its paid social approach.
As Account Director, you'll be responsible for developing and overseeing the paid social strategy, ensuring activity is aligned with both brand and performance objectives. You'll lead a team in the planning, activation, and optimisation of campaigns across Meta, Pinterest, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, and other emerging platforms, ensuring best-in-class execution.
A key part of the role will be building strong relationships with senior clients and platform partners, acting as a trusted advisor and proactively identifying opportunities for growth. You'll also be responsible for team leadership and development, ensuring the Account Managers and Executives are supported and empowered to deliver outstanding work.
We're looking for someone with extensive experience in paid social, ideally with a background in retail or e-commerce. You should have a strong commercial mindset, be comfortable working with large budgets, and be able to translate data into clear, strategic recommendations. The ability to manage multiple stakeholders, drive innovation, and inspire a team will be key to success in this role.
If you're a senior paid social expert looking for a high-impact role on one of the UK's most-loved brands, we'd love to hear from you
About the Agency:
MG OMD was established in 1990 as a challenger media agency (Manning Gottlieb Media) that placed craft, trust and performance at the heart of media planning and buying. Since joining Omnicom network's OMG (Omnicom Media Group) in 1998, we have continued to retain our founding ethos of providing clients with bespoke approaches, unprecedented insight, specialism, security and transparency; helping our clients to use media to unlock their competitive advantage and deliver innovative, effective and award-winning work and campaigns that create difference that matters.
MG OMD is the second-largest media agency in the UK. We are the most awarded media agency in both the history of the IPA Effectiveness Awards and Thinkbox's TV Planning Awards and have this year been named as Agency of the Year in The Media Leader UK awards, Campaign Global awards and Campaign UK awards.
With over 500 employees working across some of the UK's leading brands including the John Lewis Partnership, Virgin Media O2, British Airways, Specsavers, HM Government, LNER, Sony Pictures and Age UK; it is our people who ultimately make the award-winning difference.
So, true to our ethos, we work hard at creating a spirit and atmosphere that inspires our people to be considerate, honest, and professional whilst also being stimulating, imaginative and inspirational.
We want people who are great to work with, fun to be with and who genuinely care; about each other, our clients, our media partners and doing great work.
In return, we provide an amazingly collaborative culture, where open communication and an unwavering commitment to diversity of thinking, diversity of background and diversity of skillsets runs through everything we do. All backed up by the highest standards of training, development and support in the industry; so much so, that we have attained IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising) CPD Gold Accreditation for the 13th year running and maintained our CPD Platinum Accreditation for the 7th consecutive year, showcasing our commitment to continuous professional development. We were also featured in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work in both 2023 and 2024. Our being named is completely based on the opinions and perspectives of our employees which makes the accolade all that more special.
