Posted 1 day ago

£45,000 - £50,000

If you’re an experienced Media Planner or Account Director craving a more meaningful connection between the work you do and the lifestyle you love — this might just be your moment.

We’re looking for a strategic thinker with a passion for media, deep platform knowledge, and an instinct for building client relationships that deliver lasting results. You might currently be working at a large network agency, leading multi-channel planning for big brands — but wondering what it would be like to bring that expertise to a specialist, high-performing team with a sharp focus, brilliant clients, and the space to actually make your mark.

This agency has a big reputation and is based in the beautiful surroundings of Bath.  If you’ve been thinking about a move out of London (but don’t want to compromise your career), this is your chance.

The Role

This is a senior planning role — not buying. You’ll take ownership of media strategy and planning across digital and offline channels for globally recognised consumer brands. Working closely with a team of channel specialists, creatives, analysts and clients, you’ll lead the development of insight-led, high-impact media strategies that drive commercial results.

You’ll run key client relationships, presenting plans and performance updates with confidence and clarity. You’ll bring energy and leadership to cross-functional teams, mentor junior planners, and contribute to the growth of accounts by identifying new opportunities and always keeping a sharp eye on effectiveness.

Your experience will be valued and your strategic input truly listened to. This is the kind of place where your best ideas actually get made — and where smart thinking, not process, drives progress.

Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of media planning or account management experience, ideally from a leading media agency
• Proven ability to lead multi-channel media strategy across digital, social, and offline
• Confident client communicator with strong commercial awareness
• Experience working with high-profile brands and complex campaign objectives
• Sharp analytical thinking with the ability to translate insight into strategy
• Comfortable presenting and defending work to senior stakeholders
• A natural collaborator and team leader
• Bonus: a feel for cultures built around enthusiasm, identity, and real-world experiences

Benefits

You’ll join a smart, driven and genuinely supportive team doing standout work for some of the most exciting brands in their category. They offer flexibility, a hybrid working model, and a healthy respect for work-life balance. The office is based in the centre of Bath — a beautiful and well-connected city that offers the best of both worlds: professional opportunity and access to a lifestyle many people only dream of.
