• Lead the change management initiatives to drive the adoption of new processes and ways of working, both within the internal team and on the client side.
• Identify opportunities for growth within the existing partnership, including new initiatives, expanded market activations, and innovation pilots.
• Balance cultural and market-specific requirements with the need for global consistency, ensuring relevance at both the local and regional level.
• Serve as a trusted partner, continuously strengthening senior-level relationships within the client organization.

• Strong track record in managing multi-market campaigns and guiding cross-functional teams, ideally within the automotive or related industries.
• Deep understanding of both offline and digital media, audience insights, and performance measurement.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and inspire confidence.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to oversee multiple large-scale initiatives and deliver results on time and within budget.
• Experience managing budgets and project-level P&Ls.
• Fluency in English is required; additional European languages are highly valued.
