ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Digital Manager to join a well-established media agency on a 9–12 month maternity cover contract.

You're organised, commercially minded and comfortable juggling multiple campaigns and priorities. You enjoy working collaboratively, communicating with clients and taking ownership of your work, and you're confident stepping into an established team and making an immediate contribution.
We're looking for:

• Around 5+ years' experience in digital media planning, buying or campaign management, preferably agency-side.
• Strong working knowledge of DV360, Google Ads and Google Analytics, with relevant certifications or willingness to obtain them.
• Experience developing digital media strategies, audience targeting and campaign measurement plans.
