**About the role**

Integral to our success is re-imagining and elevating the craft of media planning, acknowledging its crucial role to connect with and influence people in more meaningful, creative, and powerful ways.

Therefore, we need people who can design superior customer experiences based on a deeper understanding of people and the role that media plays in their lives. Our Account Managers will think holistically across all paid, owned, and earned channels. They will draw on expertise within the specialist business units to bring the media plan to life and quantify its relevance.

The Account Manager is responsible for ensuring that our media plans are aligned with the philosophy of OMD's global planning process, OMD Design.
