About the Role:

We are seeking a highly organised and driven individual with proven digital media, media partnerships, and global market relationship experience. Working closely with one of the world’s leading FMCG companies, in this role you will be responsible for leading global media partnerships and become the recognized lead for the client’s digital media principles.

The Global Digital Business Director will work together with the Global client team as well as local markets to define and land best practices and innovation opportunities in digital media planning, performance, and compliance. Working with the Global Lead and the Global Digital Lead, this individual will be responsible for setting the vision for digital media in relation to best practice for activation, compliance to brand suitability and advertising standards, and value extraction from global media partners.

This opportunity requires delivering guidance to senior local and global clients as well as our local agencies. Reporting into the Global Segment Lead, this role requires a high degree of collaboration within the Omnicom Group network and within our client’s organisation. You will be helping to deliver on our promise to bring the best of Omnicom together and bring the right people around the right problems. You will have experience working with senior stakeholders, both external and internal, and know how to build and get the best out of large, diverse teams.

Based in London, with regular collaboration with clients and agency stakeholders in London, Malaysia, Colombia, and Chicago, this role is suitable for someone with the ability to work flexibly across time zones. As a team lead, the Global Digital Business Director is expected to create a positive working culture; balancing health and wellbeing with professional excellence.

The right candidate will:

  • Have an informed opinion and not be afraid to share it. This role is heavy on client-contact and management of a variety of client and internal stakeholders. This makes it ideal for strong communicators with a genuine interest in the digital media industry and willing to share their experience and knowledge.
  • Be proactive. While we will have a roadmap for the year, we will need to adapt and optimise as business challenges evolve and the media landscape changes.
  • Lean in. The client wants us to identify where local agency/client teams need help with an innovative digital media project – and step in to assist, to help the local teams learn by doing.
  • Be highly organised with attention to detail. The client has an eagle eye – and wants to understand what will happen when. They are very nice and fair – but expect high quality work from teams.
  • Be a strong collaborator and leader. Work and collaborate with internal teams (digital media, digital operations, account management, local agency, media ops) as well as external (client segment leads, local client media leads, global client media and digital leads), and vendor partners. You will need to liaise with different teams in different parts of the world to make this role work.

 

The right candidate should be:

  • Passionate about the pace of change in digital media
  • Have a point of view on the media industry and use of 1P data in a low-consideration category
  • Able to simplify the complex
  • A great project manager
  • A clear, concise communicator
  • Confident in voicing your opinion with senior stakeholders
  • Able to interact with detailed and big-picture stakeholders
