You’ll help on things as small as booking media in our finance system to large projects like rethinking how we organize client communication or further integrate campaigns across channels. No one day looks exactly like the other; some days you’ll be emailing the client with preview URLs for social creative and creating a creative asset tracking document, other days you’ll be in client calls learning about upcoming product launches and a training on how consumer behavior is changing.

- Develop strong working relations with the PHD digital team, day to day clients, agency partners, and media vendors
- Deliver brilliant account management basics – from finance and reporting to optimising systems and processes
- Support the AD by delivering clear, articulate status meeting and contact reports
- Learn how to use PHD information tools and systems (e.g. partner centre/dashboards) to support efficient account team delivery internally and externally
- Drive media innovation across clients’ portfolio and across markets
- Test drive AI-powered tools for use in efficient and effective client and campaign management
- Own your own development – actively seek to learn, and support others to develop too.
- Develop an understanding of how media and advertising work
- Understand the role of PHD within the communications process and the value we bring to the client’s business.
About you:
We are looking for someone with some experience in media, marketing, and/or client management, who is ready for a bit more autonomy. You'll need to be iinterested in media and how it influences people’s choices when they're standing at the [physical or digital] shelf about to buy.
