position overview
The 4
As is the voice of the agency community across America. The global ad industry will pass $1 Trillion in spend this year. The US is set to have $491 billion of that spend. And represent 20% of GDP. So, to be the voice of the industry is a real and unique honor. The things we do, stand for, and advocate for shape the direction of our industry.
Over a 108 year history, the 4
As have gone from reacting to member organization needs and key industry topics to the organization today which must set agendas, continually represent the broad agency community, and help its constituents voice in a more complex ecosystem of brands, platforms, creators, technology solutions and clients.
To do so, we need a systematic approach to driving the right types of solutions for our members. And we also need to think about solutions which bring more organizations and individuals in contact with the 4
As. The days of having a stable, slow-evolving industry have gone. We have to operate at business speed to have any chance of staying ahead.
This role will relieve senior team members from driving execution and free them to spend more time on (member) value creation, avoid duplicative/ redundant processes, quicken our route and reaction to market, ensure end to end compliance, federate partner platforms and propositions for engagement and revenue realization. This role is an accelerant and growth enabler.
The integral components of the role will include:
Program Management: delivers best in class execution across every and any channel
Innovation: enabling amazing experiences whether built internally or with partners with future-forward leverage of technology, CX, human ingenuity and operational expertise.
Technology: ensuring our overall technology and platform adoption remains best in class
Ensuring that this team works in an integrated manner. Ensure the team holds a view of key activities across the 4
As. a) strategic operations programs b) tactical activations
position responsibilities
This is a new role for the 4
As. And a critical one. Until now, the individual Practice Leads have led operations, working with the Communication & Events team to 'stage, publish and communicate' their respective initiatives. This was a vertical delivery model. Great for getting things executed. However, this approach encourages siloes and isn’t designed to offer the flexibility and the operational muscle memory we will need in a faster changing industry.
As our industry accelerates, we have the opportunity and imperative to further evolve our delivery: integrated planning, standardized processes, integrated activities – making us smarter and affording us the ability to generate amplification around key go to market topics. This will help us to restate our relevance and impact to an industry which is transforming and re-finding itself.
You will help us become more agile. Learn. Pivot. And constantly improve! And you will free senior resources – ELT / SLT / SMEs - to deliver value, content, programming, to deliver more member value and also accelerate growth for the 4
As.
We will now move to an era of horizontal operations. Where we will have a team looking across the organization. Still delivering with excellence, but also integrating, scaling, connecting, simplifying, the work we do.
This is the genesis of the Integration, Program Management + Innovation business unit.
Central Operations - core leadership:
The EVP will lead end to end delivery across the 4
As and over time this team will become the operational brains trust of the organization.
The EVP will maintain a horizontal visibility of all activities and flag to the CEO and ELT where activity should be reviewed
The EVP will work with the ELT to develop a clear agenda of our operational priorities. These will be the key activities we need to deliver across the year. This will be calendarized and reviewed at least quarterly. This will be the heart of the organization operating in…
