Are We What You’re Looking For?

We move fast, adapt quickly, and like to challenge each other. We're looking for people who enjoy the buzz of change, the satisfaction of building something better, and the joy of working with a close-knit, values-driven team.

This isn’t for everyone, but if you thrive in this environment, we’d love to meet you!

A Little Bit About You

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience in account management, campaign management or client servicing within media, advertising or retail media.

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns, deadlines and priorities at once.

• Confidence building trusted relationships with media agencies, brand clients and internal stakeholders.

• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset, with real ownership and accountability.

• Strong communication skills, including the ability to manage expectations clearly and professionally.

• An understanding of multi-category campaign delivery, ideally across health, beauty, wellness or pharmacy.

• Knowledge of retail media, digital ad operations, ad trafficking, programmatic media, media planning or booking platforms would be a bonus.

• Experience working within or alongside a major UK retailer, Boots or BMG would be helpful but isn’t essential.

Don’t meet every single requirement? We still want to hear from you. If you believe you’d thrive in this role, your unique perspective might be just what we’re looking for.

Your days will be dynamic. You might find yourself:

• Managing the full campaign lifecycle from briefing and booking through to campaign go-live.

• Coordinating campaign setup, including creative assets, trafficking materials and internal approvals.

• Keeping campaign records, booking systems and status trackers accurate and up to date.

• Acting as the main day-to-day contact for media agency partners.

• Building strong working relationships across agencies, brand clients, Boots and BMG teams.
