Head of Planning

We're working with an award winning marketing agency, who have a real heritage in Manchester. Working with some of the biggest brands in the UK, their aim is to create campaigns that have a genuine impact on their clients' businesses. We've now partnered with them in their search for a Head of Planning to join their remote based planning team.

As Head of Planning, you'll lead the agency's strategy and planning function, being the champion for creative and retail/shopper as well as digital strategy both across internal departments and with external senior stakeholders. You'll be involved from brief through to final implementation, you'll use your understanding of research, data and insight to develop a creative answer to a client's brief, whether that's for a shopper marketing, digital marketing, mobile or integrated BTL campaign.

We're looking to speak to candidates who have a demonstrable passion for integrated / BTL marketing – ideally, you'll have achieved success in a creative strategy or planning role within a marketing agency. You need to be able to hold your own and comfortable in driving yourself and a team. You'll be a born communicator and able to turn ideas into reality.

This agency is still operating a remote working model, once the wider agency returns to office working, this team and role have the opportunity to still work remotely therefore candidates from outside of Manchester are encouraged to apply.

Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age
