This is a leadership role for an experienced agency professional who has built their career within a leading multinational advertising or integrated marketing agency, managing complex, Tier 1 consumer brands and high-performing client teams.

We're looking for a digitally fluent marketing leader who combines the strategic rigor of a traditional advertising professional with a deep understanding of today's connected marketing ecosystem. You naturally think in customer journeys rather than channels and are equally comfortable leading conversations around brand strategy, digital experiences, CRM, CX, agile delivery, data, analytics and optimization. We're seeking someone who can seamlessly integrate experiential into broader marketing ecosystems and help clients maximize the effectiveness of their investment across every consumer touchpoint.

You are a collaborative, commercially minded leader who thrives on solving business and brand challenges through integrated thinking. You bring strong strategic and analytical capabilities, know how to translate insights into action, and have a proven ability to build trusted client relationships while leading cross-functional agency teams to deliver exceptional work.

Demonstrated understanding of customer journey planning and how channels work together to deliver business outcomes.

Extensive experience leading integrated digital marketing initiatives and partnering with digital, strategy, analytics, technology and creative teams.

Experience working on large consumer-facing brands

Exceptional understanding of strategic marketing and business principles

Expert at storytelling and building impactful and influential strategy and creative concept presentations.

Strong understanding of the current media landscape and understand how to apply that understanding to holistic and integrated solutions for brands.
