Are you a passionate, curious and high‑performing Associate Director looking for a new FTC role at one of the UK’s most exciting media agencies?

Are you looking to work collaboratively with a fantastic integrated team, challenge what’s possible and have fun whilst doing it?

Are you keen to work with two vibrant brands spanning energy and technology and deliver award‑winning work?

If that reflects your ambitions, then we have the role for you at OMD UK!

OMD UK is the London hub of the world’s biggest media network, home to a suitably world‑famous cast of brands and a hugely ambitious, positive group of people. From McDonald’s to Barclays, PepsiCo to British Gas, Mercedes to Channel 4, we exist to help clients transform and deliver growth through marketing. Our Client Leadership team are a critical part of that effort, challenging clients, driving bold comms planning and constantly challenging what’s possible. It is a team built on empowerment, respect, knowledge and curiosity, and one with a huge role to play in the future of the agency.

Working in close collaboration with senior client leadership, you’ll have an opportunity to create answers to clients’ biggest questions, shaping long‑term priorities and driving bigger, better and more effective work. You’ll help our clients understand their customers, their behaviours and motivations, and use it to fuel better decisions, inside a dynamic and connected team.

We are looking for an Associate Director who will have influence across the team, look round corners, be confident across the whole funnel (from brand to retail performance), be credible and when compelling presenting to key clients, and mentor our more junior team members. If you think you can help us do that, get in touch.

About the Agency

At OMD UK, we help our clients make better decisions, faster to unlock extraordinary growth using three industry‑leading capabilities: Decisions Science, Connected Performance and Agile Innovation. We transform better customer understanding into faster marketing impact with world‑class talent and technology, and we do this with some of the world’s most iconic and influential brands.

We are part of the world’s largest media network, with more than 12,000 people working in over 100 countries and are currently AdWeek’s Global Media Agency of the Year.

At Omnicom Media Group, we are committed to supporting flexibility for our people while fostering collaboration, innovation, and teamwork. We have a hybrid working model (three days in the office, two working remotely), to ensure that we meet the needs of both our people and our business, balancing the benefits of in‑person connections with the flexibility of remote working. Our standard working hours are 9:30 – 17:30, but we offer the ability to flex around core hours of 10:30 – 16:30 to give our people flexibility on how they manage their working day, whether that’s in the office or working remotely. For example, you could start work at 8:30 and finish at 16:30 or start at 10:30 and finish at 18:30.

We encourage open conversations between our people and managers to help navigate high‑need periods and individual circumstances. Our goal is to create an environment where people feel genuinely supported to do their best - both in their careers and in their lives outside of work.
