As a Senior Account Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in leading planning excellence across a portfolio of iconic luxury brands. You'll partner closely with senior stakeholders, develop integrated media strategies across online and offline channels, and act as a trusted advisor to both clients and internal teams.

This role is ideal for a strong planner who enjoys balancing big-picture strategic thinking with flawless execution. You'll help shape how some of the world's most recognised brands connect with audiences across traditional and emerging media channels.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the development of integrated media strategies across offline and digital channels
• Managing senior client relationships and becoming a trusted day-to-day partner
• Translating business challenges into innovative media solutions
• Driving planning excellence across campaigns and annual media frameworks
• Collaborating with specialist teams to deliver seamless campaign execution
• Mentoring and supporting junior team members
• Ensuring exceptional attention to detail across all outputs and communications

What We're Looking For

• Extensive media agency experience in a planning-focused role
• Deep media planning capability across multiple channels
• Experience developing integrated online and offline media strategies
• Strong stakeholder and client management skills
• High attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
• Confident communication and presentation abilities
