The opportunity

Are you the sort of person who loves getting into the numbers behind a media campaign and understanding what really makes it work?

We're working with an established, performance-led media agency in Leeds that's looking for an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager to join its team.

This is a business that takes a refreshingly analytical approach to media. They work across channels including TV, radio, outdoor and digital, using data, insight and ongoing testing to make sure their clients' budgets deliver the best possible results.

They're open-minded about the level of experience you bring. You might be a Senior Media Executive ready for the next step, an existing Account Manager or a Senior Account Manager looking for a new challenge.

What matters most is that you're curious, commercially minded and enjoy understanding why campaigns perform the way they do.

What you'll be doing

-

Planning and buying media campaigns across a range of channels, with a particular focus on TV and offline media.

-

Using audience insight, campaign performance data and research to develop effective media recommendations.

-

Monitoring campaign performance, identifying opportunities to optimise activity and improve results.

-

Working closely with clients to understand their commercial objectives and turn them into effective media plans.

-

Building relationships with media owners, suppliers and colleagues to get the best possible results from every campaign.

-

Presenting clear recommendations to clients, explaining the thinking and evidence behind your decisions.

-

Depending on your experience, taking greater ownership of accounts and helping develop more junior members of the team.

What you'll bring to the table

-

Experience in media planning, buying or campaign management, ideally gained in a media agency or broadcaster/media-owner environment.

-

Some understanding of TV and offline media would be a real advantage, although we're interested in people from other performance-focused media backgrounds too.

-

A naturally analytical mind. You'll be comfortable working with numbers, interpreting data and using what you find to make better decisions.

-

Strong attention to detail, good organisational skills and the ability to manage several campaigns or priorities at once.

-

The confidence to build relationships and communicate your thinking clearly, whether that's with a client, media owner or colleague.

-

A curious, inquisitive attitude. You enjoy asking questions, challenging assumptions and learning new things.

You'll probably have around two to four years' relevant experience, but that's a guide rather than a rigid requirement. The right attitude and ability are just as important.

Why it's worth a look

-

A proper opportunity to develop your media expertise. You'll work with experienced people who know the industry inside out, learning a specialist approach to planning, buying and measurement.

-

Interesting, varied work. You'll get hands-on experience across different media channels, working on campaigns where you can clearly see the results of your decisions.

-

Real progression potential. Whether you're stepping into your first Account Manager position or joining at Senior Account Manager level, there's scope to grow your responsibilities and career.

-

A strong benefits package. This has previously included 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, a discretionary bonus, private medical insurance after probation, learning and development support, and regular company socials.

Sound like your kind of role?

If you enjoy media, love getting into the detail and want to work somewhere that takes measurement and performance seriously, we'd love to hear from you.

You don't necessarily need to tick every box. We're particularly interested in speaking to people who are bright, inquisitive and keen to keep developing their skills.
