• Account Health: Track and influence performance across ecommerce channels, ensuring activity delivers against agreed KPIs while maintaining strong, healthy client accounts.
• Content and Operations: Review and optimise digital shelves across platforms to ensure clients have best‑in‑class content, while driving continuous improvements in ways of working.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross‑functional teams including PPC, social, programmatic, and data analytics to deliver joined‑up strategies and impactful results.
• Stakeholder Management: Build trusted relationships with both clients and internal partners, aligning with media, strategy, and leadership teams to deliver unified approaches.
• Innovation: Champion a test‑and‑learn culture, piloting new tools, tactics, and formats to stay ahead of industry trends and bring fresh growth opportunities to clients.
• New Business: Contribute to pitch work by gathering insights, shaping proposals, and showcasing Havas Market capabilities.
