Reporting to the Client Partner, you will be a Planning Manager (Performance) fully scoped as an 'in-house' resource on one of our largest clients. You will be an essential resource at the heart of their fast-growing inhouse Performance team. This role is the 'front door' so to speak: the interface and connection with the rest of the business, while also working hand-in-hand with your agency colleagues to ensure best-in-class strategic and operational delivery.

As a steer:

• 60% of time will be strategically focused: responding to briefs, building integrated channel plans in partnership with channel leads
• 40% relationship management/communication lead

• You'll use your knowledge of Digital Marketing to represent the Performance Media team in Campaign planning - ensuring our activity is seamlessly hooked into wider Media plans.
• You will work in collaboration with in-house and agency channel experts (Paid Search/Social/Display & Video) to construct a strategic response which achieves the Campaign objective and integrates Performance within the rest of our Media response.
• You will need to be operationally strong to manage cross-functional and internal/agency discussions, with a strategic eye
• You will be responsible for performing BAU tasks as agreed with the Performance Team Lead, and will work in collaboration with your internal (both agency + client side) counterparts to ensure successful delivery
• You will understand and be able to discuss Jellyfish products/ solutions provided with the client team and will have excellent Performance Media knowledge. You will be able to be able to effectively review plans and recommendations produced by the in-house team within the wider business context, pushing and identifying improvements where you see fit
