Associate Director – Activation Operations & Media Delivery - Media Agency
London | Hybrid (3 days per week) | Global Technology / eCommerce Brand
Salary to £65,000
Ideal role for a senior biddable activation specialist who enjoys being close to campaign delivery, but wants broader operational ownership and strategic influence across international markets.
This isn’t a hands‑on activation role. It’s about building structure, improving workflows, driving operational excellence and helping standardise multi‑channel media buying across a centralised international hub model.
Working across large‑scale performance and brand campaigns for a globally recognised technology / eCommerce business, you’ll act as the key link between local markets, activation teams and senior stakeholders across EMEA.
Why this role stands out:
* Huge international scope across multiple EMEA markets and significant media budgets
* Mix of strategic oversight, operational leadership and activation governance
* Opportunity to shape processes, automation, workflow efficiencies and toolkit standardisation across activation delivery
* Work alongside highly capable activation specialists across Programmatic, Paid Search and Paid Social
* Senior stakeholder exposure without moving too far away from the reality of campaign execution
The role:
* Lead operational delivery and campaign governance across multi‑channel biddable activity
* Collaborate closely with local market teams to ensure consistency in campaign execution, reporting and QA standards
* Oversee workflows, briefing processes, budgeting, SLAs and operational delivery across international markets
* Drive process improvement, automation initiatives and scalable activation frameworks
* Act as the senior escalation point across campaign delivery and operational challenges
* Support optimisation strategy and performance delivery across large‑scale campaigns
What they’re looking for:
* Senior level experience across Programmatic, Paid Search and/or Paid Social activation
* Strong operational and programme management capability within agency environments
* Experience managing scaled campaign delivery across multiple markets (ideally)
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Strong understanding of activation workflows, governance and campaign operations
