Job description

MBM is one of NZ’s most recognised multi-disciplinary media agencies, working with many of New Zealand’s best-known brands. We work with our clients to provide market-leading integrated media communication solutions.

Things are different at MBM. We disrupt the status quo and move the dial for our clients. We think beyond with creativity and innovation to solve our client’s business challenges. We have won numerous awards for our work including IAB Digital Agency of the Year and Beacons Media Agency of the Year.

We’re looking for a Digital Manager to join our Auckland team on a 10-month fixed-term contract, working across major retail and QSR clients.

This could be a great opportunity for an experienced Associate Digital Manager ready to step up into broader ownership and responsibility, while still having the support of a collaborative and experienced team around you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll sit at the heart of digital campaign delivery – bringing campaigns to life from brief through to launch, optimisation and reporting. From shaping media strategy and collaborating with specialist teams, to managing live campaigns and uncovering performance insights, you’ll play a key role in delivering smart, effective work across a portfolio of high-profile consumer clients.

Day-to-day, you’ll:

• Translate client briefs into digital media recommendations
• Manage campaigns across multiple accounts
• Work closely with internal specialist teams across search, social, biddable and data
• Monitor and optimise live campaigns
• Manage client comms, WIPs and timelines
• Pull together campaign reporting and insights
• Coordinate media partners and direct buy activity

The role offers a mix of proactive planning and fast-paced reactive retail activity, so strong organisation, adaptability and attention to detail are key.

Why this role?

• Opportunity to step into broader ownership and planning responsibility
• Work across well-known retail and QSR brands
• Opportunity to broaden hybrid planning exposure
• Collaborative, supportive team culture
• Genuine ownership and autonomy
• Flexible hybrid working environment
• Fun, social office culture
• Occasional visits from Beau the sausage dog

What we’re looking for

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Media agency or digital campaign management experience
• Experience across campaign planning, buying and reporting
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Exposure to DV360, Google Ads and Google Analytics
• Familiarity with Meta, TikTok and biddable media
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Experience across retail, QSR or hybrid planning environments would be beneficial, but not essential

If you’re looking for a role where you can continue building strong digital capability, step into more ownership and work across major consumer clients, we’d love to chat.
