Job Description

Due to growth across Publicis Media, we're looking for experienced Account Directors and Planning Directors to join our teams across Starcom, Spark Foundry and Zenith UK

We’re in a period of huge growth, so there’s never been a better time to join us.

What will you be doing?

In an Account/Planning Director role across Publicis Media agencies, you will have responsibility for shaping and driving forward the client and agency’s strategic visions, ensuring that the day to day is running smoothly, but also taking that step up to support your Business Director with additional growth. You will create brand and model strategies specific to your clients and inspire them to be brought to life via a variety of different media platforms.

In addition to the above, you'll:

  • Build strong, trusted relationships with key clients, ensuring you’re their first port of call for anything and everything
  • Take the client on a transformation journey to maximize effectiveness through data and innovative media solutions

We're in a real growth phase at the moment, and we'd love for you to join us on that journey.

Qualifications

What are we looking for?

In order to be successful in this role, you’ll have significant experience in a comms planning role, ideally leading a variety of planning projects (for example planning of integrated communications across paid, owned, and earned media). In addition to this, we’ll prioritise candidates who have the majority of the below skills and experience:

  • Experience working directly with clients in an agency environment, with the ability to politely push back where necessary
  • Tight project leadership skills including driving accuracy, organization and collaboration from our team
  • Managing a small team or individual, ensuring all outputs from them are of a high-quality standard

This role calls for a dynamic and passionate planning mind to be the day-to-day lead on one of our incredible clients, so we're ideally looking for someone who's had a small amount of experience already at AD level, but will also consider someone taking a step up.

  • WORK YOUR WORLD opportunity to work anywhere in the world, where there is a Publicis office, for up to 6 weeks a year.

  • HELP@HAND BENEFITS 24/7 helpline to support you on a personal and professional level. Access to remote GPs, mental health support and CBT. Wellbeing content and lifestyle coaching.

  • FLEXIBLE WORKING, BANK HOLIDAY SWAP & BIRTHDAY DAY OFF You are entitled to an additional day off for your birthday, from your first day of employment.
