Media Director | Bristol

Job Description

You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.

TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.

And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.

The Role

From strategy and planning through to implementation, you'll be responsible for all aspects of our media capability for the Armed Forces Recruiting. You will drive the evolution of media planning and buying strategies, including media partnerships and influencers, integrating innovation, technology, and data-driven approaches to deliver measurable improvements for TMP268. Plus, you'll embrace opportunities – whether they are to save costs or an emerging trend. 

Our goal is to create standout strategies that set new benchmarks within the sector, achieving recognition for the Armed Forces and the organisation. You'll build and lead a connected, high-performing team that is motivated to do this. Immersing yourself in the world of the Armed Forces, you'll think up creative ways to harness technology and reach audiences as efficiently as possible. You'll foster strong relationships with senior stakeholders, demonstrating your subject expertise.

As a team leader, you'll engage in 121s, encourage development, stay on top of performance issues, and create an environment where all feel able to thrive.

Who we're looking for

You've successfully led an integrated media team that delivers solutions across all channels. From attraction through to persuade and convert, you've managed an array of media solutions. This has led to a proven track record of leading and developing high-performing paid media teams, with measurable success in delivering business outcomes. You have extensive experience in shaping, negotiating, and managing paid media contracts at a UK level, additional experience across EMEA or global markets would be highly advantageous.

An active leader, you've created teams that are motivated, accountable and focused on achieving positive business outcomes. An exceptional relationship builder, outside your team, you'll work on connections with senior media owners, executives and other key stakeholders. 

Outstanding organisational and planning capabilities mean that you have a methodical and structured approach to managing complex, multi-faceted projects. Highly self-directed, you're capable of working autonomously while maintaining alignment with broader strategic priorities.

It would be great if you've worked in an agency before or have implemented new planning and buying technologies or methodologies to enhance outcomes, operational efficiency, or commercial results. A degree or equivalent qualification would be great to see too.

What's in it for me?

You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including:

• Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
• Great company paid benefits including our health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
• A hybrid working pattern plus other great flexible benefits such as a TechScheme, free mortgage advice and more.
• Individual development plans with customised learning solutions, including clear career pathways designed to support individual growth and career advancement.
• Excellent health benefits – get cash back on your everyday healthcare costs with our flexible dental and cash plan benefits or grab some great discounts at your local gym.
• Opportunities to give back and care for our environment with eco-friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.
