Company description

Who We Are in the UK?

Spark Foundry, the Acceleration Agency.

We help brands to identify, learn and respond to opportunities faster than the competition.

Every client has an area of their business they need to accelerate, from short-term goals to long-term transformation.

We've proven our approach during the most difficult year on record. Now we're using it to provide a launchpad for their future.

Come be an accelerator with us.

How we accelerate

• Planning: an approach that works in practice rather than theory, arming planners with the ability to create cutting edge campaigns
• Intelligence: a suite of tools that give definitive answers to big questions, and uncovers actionable insights about real people
• Trading: a model built on flexibility and trusted relationships, underpinned with bold guarantees
• Relationships: a culture of asking challenging questions to better understand the brief - we are not a 'yes' agency
• People: a strong history of recruiting talent from diverse backgrounds and accelerating their careers

Our Commitment

We are diverse though our experience, people and the clients we look after - and we celebrate that diversity. Our people hold us accountable to our beliefs and via regular surveys and our grass roots D&I team, The Collective, and internal next generation board, Firestarters, we hold regular events and work continually towards generating ideas, initiatives and educating our people to ensure we are a diverse and inclusive agency.

As part of our dedication to create an inclusive and diverse workforce, Spark Foundry is committed to equal access to opportunity for people without regard to race, age, sex, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.

Overview

At Spark Foundry, we don't do average. We do bold, curious, and brilliantly unconventional. We're looking for an OOH Senior Account Executive to join our high-performing team and lead from the front on some of our top accounts.

If you have a passion for media, a flair for location-based campaigns, and a drive to build exceptional client relationships - we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

What You'll Be Doing:

• Own the Campaign Journey: You'll lead Out of Home campaigns from concept through to execution, ensuring excellence at every stage.
• Build Meaningful Relationships: As a client-facing lead, you'll nurture strong, trusted partnerships - delivering outstanding service with creativity and confidence.
• Mentor & Collaborate: You'll support junior team members and collaborate across internal teams to bring big ideas to life.
• Be a Tool Pioneer: You'll work with our proprietary planning platform, PURL, helping evolve how we plan, buy, and deliver OOH in a connected world.
• Drive Innovation: With your ideas and input, you'll help push the boundaries of what's possible in the OOH space.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For:

• Strong knowledge of the OOH media landscape, including planning, buying, and execution across classic and digital formats.
• Proficiency with tools such as Route, OCS, Touchpoints, and ideally PURL.
• A confident communicator - someone who presents ideas clearly and persuasively.
• A natural relationship builder who can engage with internal and external stakeholders alike.
• Someone organised, adaptable, and cool under pressure - great at managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• A collaborative spirit with a growth mindset - always ready to learn, share, and inspire.
