    Internally, this role will be known as Senior Lead Account Planner

    WHO ARE WE?

    The bigger picture: DEPT is a pioneering technology and marketing services company that creates integrated end-to-end digital experiences for brands such as Google, TikTok, eBay, ASOS, Zoopla, Twitch, Patagonia and many, many more.

    Our team of 4,000+ digital specialists across 30+ locations on five continents deliver pioneering work on a global scale with a boutique culture. We live and breathe our 'big enough to cope, small enough to care' ethos, providing an inclusive, supportive and an exciting place to accelerate your career.

    This position sits in our Marketing & Technology service based in London. We combine data, technology, creative content, and paid media to crack brands' business problems & drive revenue through a variety of digital marketing solutions like ad campaigns, augmented reality, and chatbots. Our clients include ASOS, Just Eat Takeaway, Twitch, TikTok, and The White Company.

    JOB PURPOSE

    Senior Lead Account Planners support the Group Account Heads in leading on all the work we deliver for a suite of clients.

    We don't believe in siloed teams – content, technology, media and data overlap in all roles. This person will oversee development of the strategy for the brands they lead, including managing a team. They will represent DeEPT to our clients, adding value to relationships beyond organisational skills doing a mixture of account management and strategic planning, not your typical suit.

    We need someone who understands our client's customers, who can put themselves in their shoes to create strategies and ideas that exceed expectations, who understands that brands are competing for consumers' attention and have at best a couple of seconds to inspire some sort of interaction. We need people who can come up with big ideas as well as lots of little ones that are framed in a solid strategy grounded in insight and ultimately deliver a tangible ROI for our clients. Most importantly, we need someone who can lead, mentor and inspire their team.

    Candidates must have experience managing teams and complex campaigns for brands and be calm and controlled in high pressure situations. Equally, experience with delivering commercial success in an agency model is important.

    The role of a Senior Lead Account Planner is exciting, varied and constantly evolving. In this role, you will:

  • Coordinate a dedicated account team to ensure optimal customer and project support
  • Full budget and profitability responsibility, proactively and strategically develop the relationship with our clients
  • Work with our expert teams to develop customised solutions for project implementation
