Your purpose. You're an experienced media planner/buyer by craft and have a proven ability to work with our client, Air New Zealand, to understand their goals and challenges of their marketing and communications plans. After probing and teasing, you bring the right people across the business together and formulate ideas on how to strategically overcome those challenges from brief to implementation through meticulous planning.
Whilst continuing to develop your craft across offline and digital media planning, you will be supporting both our team leaders and mentoring our junior team members as a subject matter expert and project manager. Delivering the right outcomes through effective planning is the key purpose of this role, and therefore you'll be accountable across all aspects of traditional (offline) media planning, investment, and execution to create holistic and robust media plans for our clients alongside our digital planning team.

Being a key point of contact for clients and suppliers, with your focus on developing senior stakeholder relationships daily.
Quality control of plans and engagements with the Air New Zealand marketing team and creative agency partners, including managing deadlines, accuracy, format, and performance of campaigns at a macro level to ensure they're hitting agreed metrics.
Collaborate closely across the Air New Zealand media team and broader dentsu team members to ensure effective, open working relationships.
Manage compliance and rollover of client contracts, in some cases managing the PRIP.
Grow and maintain a profitable portfolio by delivering internal goals and fostering opportunities to deliver broader services offered by Dentsu and Merkle Aotearoa.
Support and manage junior team members to ensure progression, support, and nurturing through the agency; areas of management include recruitment, performance reviews, and training.
Proactively support new business pitches and RFP responses as needed across the group.
You. Have at least 5 years' planning and buying experience working within a media/advertising agency and with large brands.
A deep understanding of the traditional/offline media marketplace in New Zealand, and a keen interest in developing broader exposure into digital planning.
Experience managing and/or mentoring junior team members, playing a quality assurance/control role for media plans.
Proven ability to communicate effectively across a range of stakeholders and teams, both internally and externally.
An ability to make the complex simple; gathering data and formulating insights into meaningful actions relevant across a wide range of audiences.
Highly organized project manager to ensure collaboration, timely outcomes, and a high quality of output.
Self-driven/motivated. We're all adults here and we work as a team, together.
Be a champion of meaningful progress. At dentsu Aotearoa we are proud of our diverse and inclusive culture. It enables our employees to bring the best version of themselves to work, which in turn fosters innovation and generates better outcomes for our people, partners, and communities.
We encourage applications from people with disabilities, of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, and cultures to apply. If you want to contribute towards how we represent ourselves, you can join one of our communities/committees that drive awareness and inclusion at dentsu Aotearoa.
