About the Role

The Programmatic Solutions team sits in a unique and high-impact space between traditional media planning and hands-on activation. We are a dynamic, strategy-first unit within WPP Media focused on crafting cutting-edge digital products and solutions that directly drive performance, margin, and business results for our clients.

Unlike traditional activation roles, this position is not a hands-on-keyboard buying role. Instead, you will act as a digital strategist and project manager who owns cross-channel digital strategies and interfaces with clients to solve complex business challenges using the latest media technology.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Planning & Recommendation: Receive client briefs and translate business objectives and target KPIs into holistic, cross-channel digital strategies.
  • Project Management & Leadership: Manage campaigns through cross-functional teams, orchestrating efforts across Planning, Activation, Measurement, and Data & Tech teams to ensure flawless, on-time project execution.
  • Client & Stakeholder Communication: Confidently lead strategic conversations and present recommendations to clients (including smaller direct clients and internal client leadership).
  • Cross-Channel Integration: Oversee holistic digital strategies across display, video, audio, gaming, Connected TV (CTV), and high-level social environments.
  • Innovation & Testing: Lead "test-and-learn" environments, exploring emerging platforms, AI-driven technologies (e.g., Amazon tech), new YouTube products, and advanced programmatic DSP capabilities.
  • Measurement & Storytelling: Partner with internal measurement teams to leverage reporting, Brand Lift Studies, Conversion Lift Studies, and Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) insights to build compelling performance stories.
  • Project Management & Leadership: Manage campaigns through cross-functional teams, orchestrating efforts across Planning, Activation, Measurement, and Data & Tech teams to ensure flawless, on-time project execution.
  • Tech & DSP Knowledge: Broad working knowledge of major DSPs (e.g., DV360, Amazon DSP, The Trade Desk) and ad tech capabilities. Hands-on buying experience is a plus, but active trading is not required for this role.
  • Creative Solutions: Partner with creative teams on strategies such as DCO, high-impact units, and other innovative digital formats.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 1+ years of experience in programmatic/digital strategy, programmatic planning, or senior programmatic activation looking to pivot away from hands-on platform execution.
  • Channel Expertise: Solid understanding of cross-channel digital strategy including Display, Video, CTV, Audio, Gaming, and high-level Social Media execution.
  • Tech & DSP Knowledge: Broad working knowledge of major DSPs (e.g., DV360, The Trade Desk) and ad tech capabilities. (Hands-on buying experience is a plus, but active trading is not required for this role).
  • Project & Detail Management: Strong organizational skills with a proven track record of coordinating multiple internal teams and keeping complex projects on timeline.
  • Measurement Familiarity: Understanding of digital measurement tools, attribution models, and lift studies (Brand/Conversion Lift).

Why it works

3×

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.
