Job Description:
Great media investment is about more than securing placements. It's about creating value in every negotiation.
At dentsu, we're looking for a Senior Media Investment Executive to own the commercial execution of offline media campaigns; from media planning and negotiations through to campaign monitoring, reporting, and delivery.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys the pace of agency life, takes pride in precision, and knows that great investment decisions happen long before a campaign goes live.
If you're the person people rely on to navigate the offline media landscape, negotiate confidently, and keep campaigns running seamlessly, we'd love to meet you.
