Job description

Senior Digital Manager

Düsseldorf/Frankfurt

We are proud to be assisting a leading digital media agency in their search for a Senior Digital Manager to join their team in Düsseldorf.

Our client believes that everyone can reach their full potential through knowledge sharing and mutual respect. Everyone is welcome there - their culture is built on knowledge sharing, mutual respect and the well being of every single person on the team.

YOUR ROLE

• One prestige automotive client: Petrol in your veins, or ready to fall in love with the automotive industry? Either way, our client is excited for you to bring your expertise to this fast-moving sector, working on one of their most prestigious automotive accounts.
• End-to-end communications: You drive the holistic development of integrated, distinctive communications for the client account - from strategic planning through to operational execution, with a strong focus on digital channels.
• Media strategy: Developing creative media strategies that are genuinely on the pulse of the times is exactly your thing, supported by in-house research and channel specialists.
• Programmatic & data-driven: Programmatic is second nature to you - not just as part of digital planning, but as a way to convince clients with data-driven strategic recommendations.
• Performance media: Pixels, lead ads, bidding strategies - performance media is familiar territory you're keen to develop further together with your team.
• Analysis & presentation: You have a firm handle on preparing analyses, presentations and client meetings, and on optimising them against client objectives.
• Direct client contact: You're part of an integrated team and the central point of contact for all digital topics for the agency's renowned automotive client. As part of the Client Service team, you advise the client comprehensively, empathetically and professionally.
• Single point of contact: All threads come together with you - you work independently and with full ownership, staying in close exchange with internal departments, the client, creative agencies and vendors - while remaining part of a team that supports you.

WHAT YOU BRING

• A completed degree (business/marketing/communications) or equivalent vocational training.
• At least 3 to 5 years of experience in national media planning or marketing, on the agency or client side - ideally with some prior team leadership experience.
• Business-fluent German, plus a strong command of English, written and spoken - your presentations are simply convincing.
• Always on top of trends: you're familiar with common media planning and research tools as well as digital-specific infrastructure (planning software, ad servers, DSPs) and MS Office applications.
• An analytical mindset, a confident manner, and a preference for working independently with full ownership.
• A high degree of accountability, resilience, service orientation, professionalism and team-player mentality.
• An appetite for something new, a great client and a great team.

WHY THIS ROLE

Innovative work environment

Bring your expertise into an inspiring, dynamic environment and actively help shape the media landscape.

Flexible hours & remote working

A balanced lifestyle through flexible working hours and the option to work remotely.

Career development

A true partner on your career path, whether on the classic management track or a specialist track - with tailored training programmes for your next step.
