&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;This role forms part of a globally distributed business intelligence team, whose role is to ensure our clients and internal teams for one of our most important global accounts have access to the right data and insights to inform their marketing decisions.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The team’s primary responsibility is to maintain a global Google Cloud based reporting solution, which automates the collection and transformation of disparate marketing data into a single source of truth.&amp;nbsp; Not only does that mean running and maintaining the solution that already exists, but also continually improving it to incorporate new data sources, and to derive new insights, to support ever-evolving business demands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we’d like you to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We&#39;re looking for intelligent people who can passionately represent Essence, develop a talented team, ensure outstanding delivery to the client, and create opportunities for our relationship to blossom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we’d like you to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Client Leadership&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Take direct responsibility for Essence’s strategic relationship with the client and the associated lifetime client value. You will have direct responsibility for client scoping and margin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Identify opportunities - both regionally and globally - for deepening the client relationship through innovation, the adoption of new marketing technologies and the use of a broader range of agency services tailored for B2B applications. In particular, you’ll need a very solid understanding of digital media and&amp;nbsp; technology and how they can be used to guarantee marketing effectiveness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Use your understanding of the broader agency landscape to contribute in all agency meetings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;People Leadership&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Mentor the internal team in their understanding of, and approach to, supporting the client’s strategic marketing plan, and manage the day-to-day output of the team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Coach the Director(s) in their own development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A bit about yourself:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On top of all this experience, you’ll need lots of softer skills:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Analytical and comfortable presenting quantitative information in a client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Front-End Web Developer

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Essence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essence, part of GroupM, is a global data and measurement-driven media agency whose mission is to make advertising more valuable to the world. Clients include Google, Flipkart, NBCUniversal, L&#39;Oreal and the Financial Times. The agency is more than 1,800 people strong, manages $4B in annualized media spend and deploys campaigns in 106 markets via 20 offices in APAC, EMEA and North America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visit essenceglobal.com for more information and follow us on Twitter at @essenceglobal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This role is a part of the Experience group at Essence. You will be responsible for driving strategic thinking and deliverables related to how creative and media play together. You understand comms strategy and feel comfortable talking all things media but your bread and butter is creative strategy specifically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’re operating as the main point of contact for creative strategy for our clients, under the leadership of the Head of Experience, all while doing research, formulating insights, brainstorming new ideas, and reviewing data with serious rigour. You will work closely with our creative studio, as well as our partnerships team, to propose and secure creative projects with a highly innovative client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we’d like you to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Insight Generation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be the audience advocate in the agency. You’ll be exploring audiences, their habits, behaviours and attitudes on a daily basis (using various sources) gathering the information and data to then turn it all into compelling insights. You know and respect the difference between a data point and an insight. You’ll always build your strategy based on real insights rather than opinion-only. You’ll be confident in leading the strategy on priority campaigns as well as long-term brand &amp;amp; content strategic planning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creative Brief writing - for digital creative, content and partnerships&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will spend most of your time with the Creative and Content teams at Essence (they’re a lovely bunch!). Your job will be to inform their creative output and inspire them. You will articulate your creative strategy into concise briefs and run interactive briefing sessions that naturally get the creative juices flowing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leadership - cultivating culture of creativity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll be the sounding board for our creatives and content specialists - making sure the ideas are responding to your brief and are built with our audiences in mind. You’ll push the team to think differently and you’ll cultivate the culture of curiosity and creativity. You’ll be crafting the story around the ideas to bring, present and defend to the client. You’ll become a trusted resource and partner to clients, especially their innovation leads, not afraid to have the tough conversations when necessary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Innovation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of all of that, you will push us. We like to puzzle over new data sets, new signals from social platforms, new ways to design creative assets, new testing structures, and new ad products for our clients. It’s all new, unknown and just waiting for us to figure it out. In this role, you’ll get to guide how the innovation agenda looks like.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A bit about yourself:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&#39;re a born strategist with plenty of experience unpacking audiences, analysing human behaviour and attitudes, observing culture to craft powerful and original insights from data, research and trends. Persuasive about the role of data to fuel creative and the ability to present &lt;strong&gt;insights&lt;/strong&gt; everywhere from boardrooms to bars.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can articulate insights-led&lt;strong&gt; creative strategy&lt;/strong&gt; to inform &lt;strong&gt;digital creative&lt;/strong&gt; (our work leans into innovative formats, new tech solutions rather than revisioning assets so any experience in new tech is a bonus). You easily turn cultural truths and insights into compelling &lt;strong&gt;content strategy&lt;/strong&gt; and&lt;strong&gt; partnerships&lt;/strong&gt; opportunities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You write beautifully clear and concise &lt;strong&gt;creative briefs&lt;/strong&gt; and you feel energised when you run &lt;strong&gt;briefing sessions&lt;/strong&gt; and idea generation &lt;strong&gt;workshops&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, you’ll have:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Around 10+ years experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prior experience in a planning / strategy department in a creative agency&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More creative than analytical, yet strong in both&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prior experience working on a global account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong understanding of Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn etc and how we can use those tools for insights and partnership executions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vision for where Creative Strategy and our industry is going&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Knowledge of UK, German and French publishers and partners a plus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should enjoy working at the edge of what is known in our industry and fuelled by trying to figure it out. Ideally you’re passionate about your career, and are still a good time if we’re stuck at an airport for a few hours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We emphasise behaviours. If you like to point and direct, we are not a good fit. We value emotional intelligence, curiosity, collaboration above all else. For this role, we also need a tenacious and persuasive person that can motivate others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you can expect from Essence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essence’s mission is to make advertising more valuable to the world.

Head of Creative Strategy

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Essence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essence, part of GroupM, is a global data and measurement-driven media agency whose mission is to make advertising more valuable to the world.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Media Panning team is responsible for building thoughtful and innovative media plans that combine channels within Search, Social, Display and Video to effectively connect our clients’ messages with their potential customers. They apply their knowledge of the holistic media landscape and how consumers interact with it to create then steward integrated media plans throughout their lifecycle. They are our clients’ key contacts for a unified view of their media activity, narrating the story of the campaign from planning recommendation through to post-campaign analysis (PCA). They own the creation of integrated plans, oversee cross-channel reporting, recommend in-flight cross-channel optimisations and lead the development of the PCA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To ensure market-leading expertise, our media planners must nurture strong platform and publisher partner relationships, adopting a cycle of continuous learning to keep pace with the ever-shifting landscape.

They are skilled at interrogating data, drawing insight from it and using tools to inform their planning decisions. They are deft storytellers, weaving compelling narratives to validate their recommendations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Head of Media Planning is responsible for leading this team, their development and their output in EMEA. With oversight of four individual teams, each focused on delivery for a different client group, a large part of the role lies in ensuring consistently high standards of media planning across the agency, whilst catering to the nuances of each clients’ scope of work and business needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to their responsibility to our existing clients, the Head of Media Planning plays a key role in supporting the agency’s growth efforts via new business, and representing Essence via participation in agency events and the development of thought leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The successful delivery of this role requires working in close partnership with other Essence teams - including strategy, activation, data strategy and analytics - along with our partners within GroupM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The role requires extensive media agency experience in client-facing roles and a background in media planning. It demands proven skill and a passion for managing and developing large teams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will report to the EVP, Head of Media EMEA and be an active participant in the Essence EMEA leadership team who, together, collaborate on achieving our mission to make brands more valuable to the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Line-manage up to nine senior media planners who each lead the delivery for their individual client or brand assignments&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Champion our Signals Planning approach, ensuring it is brought to life and applied in the most relevant way for each client team’s needs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify skills gaps and devise, develop and deliver training as necessary&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate with our our product team to develop our proprietary media planning tools and with client teams to roll out and apply them as appropriate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate with colleagues in GroupM and Essence global on investment decisions for external tools and data sets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be a champion of media owner and platform partner relationships for the team, ensuring these are nurtured and respected&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work hand in hand with the Head of Media Activation to ensure seamless ways of working between your teams&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep abreast of industry research and planning theory and cascade this knowledge to the team, helping them understand how and when to apply it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand new media execution capabilities and drive innovation through the team’s work, as appropriate for each clients’ business needs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provide regular, ongoing engagement with senior clients, as required&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support with hands-on planning work during busy periods such as annual planning cycles, new client onboarding etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Participate in thought-leadership opportunities to establish Essence as a planning leader within the industry&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate with your peers on the EMEA leadership team to drive cross-agency initiatives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the experience, expertise and skills we’re looking for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the team&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Media Planning are experts on the paid media landscape and how consumers interact with it. We architect and steward holistic media plans throughout their lifecycle, owning the creation of overall plans, cross-channel budget allocation, in flight cross-channel optimisation &amp;amp; reporting and post-campaign analysis. We are our clients’ key contacts for a unified view across all aspects of their campaigns, narrating the story of the campaign from planning recommendation through to PCA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Media Planning Business Directors lead junior planners to inspire innovation, rigour and great thinking in media planning across multi-practice client teams. The ultimate owner of the media plan recommendation, weekly reporting reviews and campaign PCA, they collaborate with the team to ensure communication to the client is clear, compelling and of a high standard. Media Planning Business Directors hold close client relationships and are the primary face of Essence’s Media Planning product for those clients. They are ultimately responsible for campaign performance and the delivery of business-enhancing insights. They foster strong external relationships and keep a close eye on the market to ensure new opportunities and research are reviewed and implemented for the benefit of their clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ITV and Zoopla are our most recent new business wins and the two brands have much in common. Both UK-based companies, they chose Essence for our sophisticated approach to applying data and measurement to integrated media plans, as well as our strategic excellence and creative problem-solving abilities. As a digitally native business, Zoopla is a natural fit with Essence, while ITV is looking to us to help accelerate their digital transformation. Both will lean on us to demonstrate deep audience understanding in order to drive business growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Media Planning Business Director on ITV and Zoopla will manage a team of three media planners across the two accounts. They will oversee both brand and performance campaigns, although with a greater emphasis on brand.&lt;/p&gt;

Working with ITV, it’s particularly important that candidates are comfortable discussing the TV landscape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;As both ITV and Zoopla came to Essence for our aptitude in digital, data and measurement, candidates must have a high degree of confidence in collaborating with our colleagues in Data Strategy, Analytics and digital Activation to build their expertise in the media plans. They will work closely with our Strategy team to ensure insights are brought to life within media recommendations, and go hand in hand with Client Services to set the standards for and support the tight running of the two accounts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Our chosen candidate will have excellent communication skills, with the ability to build and deliver compelling and convincing presentations that weave together the disparate elements of media and measurement plans in to coherent stories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we&#39;d like you to do&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;When appropriate, play a key role in new business pitches and, when required, drive the success of new client onboarding, alongside Client Services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify and draft case studies suitable for external recognition and award submissions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support the regional practice lead with development of the media planning product.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inspire and motivate the team, leading by example while coaching juniors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provide timely and actionable feedback to drive team development and work improvement.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monitor and support Essential satisfaction across client teams, identifying and implementing ways to maintain or increase satisfaction.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a producer, you will work with clients and the Creative team to deliver digital advertising campaigns. You will be responsible for delivering a wide variety of digital creative assets, optimised for their respective channels (e.g. desktop, tablet, mobile, digital out-of-home, social media or video).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your principal responsibility is flawless delivery that addresses client need on time and on budget. You’ll be turning opportunities into recommendations and concepts into reality. That means coordinating the team to produce a realistic cost estimate and project plan, formulating the specifications of the project - from scope of work through to functional specifications and beyond, managing the process and then managing creatives, designers and developers (both in-house team members, through partners or remotely) to ensure the end product is built to spec and on time. Of course this means being cool, calm and collected in the face of tight deadlines!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll often need to make the complex simple. You may discuss projects with people less well versed in technology, and you can help them to make good decisions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highly organised&lt;/strong&gt;: you can coordinate efforts to ensure the team stays on top of all project deliverables, controlling delivery of a number of client projects across a variety of different channels. You always know what the current state of a project is and what needs to happen next.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fortune teller meets problem solver&lt;/strong&gt;: you can anticipate challenges and develop solutions to any number of challenges that might come your way and will frequently proactively put solutions in place to mitigate risks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Influential communicator&lt;/strong&gt;: you have an ability to influence clients as well as collaborate with and motivate internal teams to deliver client objectives &amp;amp; projects. Working across internal teams where necessary, to get support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical understanding&lt;/strong&gt;: you’ll have a good understanding of related technologies including ad serving, HTML, CSS and a desire to understand more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Documentation skills&lt;/strong&gt;: you are comfortable producing and maintaining core project documents, including briefs, plans and test scripts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exceptional attention to detail&lt;/strong&gt;: you’ll naturally have a deep sense of ownership of and commitment to curate your projects. You can spot when something isn’t right and get it sorted unprompted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project planning&lt;/strong&gt;: Create and deliver project work plans as well as oversee and interrogate plans made by the team. Revise as appropriate to meet changing needs and requirements. Ensure that the appropriate resources are identified and assigned to the correct tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oversee the day-to-day operational aspects of projects&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensures project documents are complete, current, and appropriately stored. Work with the team to define and document questions, liaise with clients to get new requirements and explain feasibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Financial rigour&lt;/strong&gt;: Meet financial objectives by accurately tracking income to date and forecasting requirements and budgets left on projects. You’ll be accountable for ensuring timely and accurate reporting for all projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reporting&lt;/strong&gt;: Submit project status reports to stakeholders updating progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;QA&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure highest standards of quality, reviewing work and managing feedback and amends with the client and team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Client engagement&lt;/strong&gt;: Help our clients build stronger campaigns by working collaboratively with them, interrogating briefs and understanding their issues to recommend better solutions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
