About the Role:

As a Performance Planning & Optimisation Executive, you will be an integral part of our Performance team, reporting directly to the Performance Planning & Optimisation Director. In this role, you will contribute significantly to the quality and innovation of our client accounts.

You will support the Director in developing and implementing cutting-edge cross-channel and full-funnel strategies and tactics. This includes assisting in the creation and refinement of internal frameworks and templates and ensuring their effective integration across our Initiative / UM & CS Teams (including Comms Design, Craft, and Analytics) and with external stakeholders.

You will excel in cross-channel reporting and insight generation, playing a key role in Post-Campaign Analysis (PCA) and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). This position involves attending briefing, strategy, and reporting sessions, where you will consult on critical topics such as cross-channel testing opportunities and full-funnel digital strategies and insights.

Reporting & Insight Generation: Develop and maintain accurate reports using established templates, ensuring data integrity, and assisting in the generation of actionable insights.

Strategic Contribution: Contribute to understanding and maximizing client goals through the application of tactical strategies and technologies.

Team Collaboration & Coordination: Manage task trackers (e.g., Asana, Excel) to ensure timely completion of assignments and coordinate effectively with internal teams (e.g., Strategy, Media, Analytics).

About you:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, ideally comfortable in a consultative, client-facing environment
• Excellent quantitative and analytical skills with the ability to draw conclusions based on data
