Role Summary and Impact

We are looking for a curious, enthusiastic and proactive Manager to join the Suntory Client Leadership team, working primarily across Lucozade – one of the UK's most iconic and culturally relevant brands – alongside -196, Suntory's fast-growing Alcohol Ready-To-Drink brand.

This is an exciting opportunity to work across two very different brands, with ambitious growth plans and a wide range of creative and media opportunities. From large-scale brand campaigns and major sporting moments to innovative social, creator and experiential activations, the role offers exposure to a diverse range of briefs and media channels.

As a Manager, you will play a central role in the day-to-day running of the account, developing strong client relationships and working closely with our planning and activation specialists to deliver brilliant, integrated media campaigns. You will be involved across the entire campaign lifecycle – from interpreting briefs and developing media recommendations through to activation, reporting and evaluation.

Suntory is an ambitious and fast-paced client with exciting plans for its brands. Lucozade is a household name with a rich heritage in sport and popular culture, continually looking for new ways to connect with consumers and remain relevant. Meanwhile, -196 presents an exciting opportunity to help grow an emerging brand in the competitive and dynamic Alcohol Ready-To-Drink category.

The account offers plenty of scope for creative thinking, innovation and collaboration. We work closely with Suntory's wider agency partners to deliver joined-up campaigns, and are looking for someone who enjoys getting involved, bringing ideas to the table and helping turn ambitious briefs into great work.

As a Manager in our Client Leadership team, you will:

  • Be a critical part of the team running the day-to-day client business, using high levels of initiative to ensure smooth client servicing, smooth internal process to deliver work and ensure accuracy and punctuality of delivery of campaigns, billing and other administrative tasks.
  • Work closely with the Associate Director and senior team to interpret client briefs, develop compelling media recommendations and help deliver strategically sound, creative and effective campaigns.
  • Coordinate with our specialist teams across AV, OOH, Digital, Social, Audio and Partnerships, ensuring plans are integrated, delivered to a high standard and aligned with client objectives.
  • Build a strong understanding of the brands, their audiences and competitive landscapes, using consumer insights, market trends and campaign learnings to inform media recommendations and identify new opportunities.
  • Take ownership of key campaign deliverables, managing timelines, budgets, reporting and internal processes to ensure work is delivered accurately and on time.
  • Demonstrate initiative and confidence in managing client requests, communicating clearly with internal teams and clients, and proactively identifying solutions to challenges.
  • Contribute to a positive, collaborative team culture, supporting junior team members and bringing curiosity, enthusiasm and fresh thinking to the work.
  • Have excellent organisations skills being adept at managing a diverse workload, work at pace and can appropriately prioritise tasks.

  • Create an Open environment by Balancing People and Client Experiences by Cultivating Trust.

We would also be looking for the following:

  • Experience in a client services, media planning or investment role.
  • A good understanding of the UK media landscape and how different channels work together to deliver against brand and business objectives.
  • Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple briefs, prioritise effectively and work confidently in a fast-paced environment.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
