Description Explore your future with Mindshare, part of GroupM. If this role isn’t 100% aligned, apply anyway and we’ll add you to a specific Talent Pool so we can collaborate on future available positions. Following an internal promotion into a newly created position, we’re currently seeking an Investment Manager with strong planning, buying and reporting skills in their core channels as BAU. This is a unique opportunity for the right talent: working on an amazing entertainment space, high profile client AND the opportunity to develop regional account experience across IMEA / APAC. GroupM GroupM is the leading global media investment management company serving as the parent to WPP media agencies including Mindshare , EssenceMediacom and Wavemaker , each with leading market positions in their own right. With 800 people based in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane, GroupM’s primary purpose is to maximize performance of WPP’s media agencies by operating as leader and collaborator in trading, content creation, sports, digital, finance, proprietary tool development and other business-critical capabilities. GroupM’s focus is to deliver unrivalled marketplace advantage to its clients, stakeholders and people. A Bit About Us We are Mindshare , a media services company that accelerates Good Growth for our clients. Our company values of energy , empathy and impact bind together our diverse global family of 10,000 people from every culture and with every specialist skill you can imagine. People at Mindshare create ideas and solutions that help not only our clients, but also people and the planet. YOUR TEAM The Implementation & Activation (I&A) team is a dynamic, collaborative group responsible for delivering best-in-class planning and activation across traditional media channels. Fully embedded within client teams, we work closely with stakeholders to bring campaigns to life — from offline and digital media to sponsorships and analytics. This particular role sits within a team who look after a pioneering gaming company who tend to spend quite a bit on OOH executions and custom content partnerships. Linear TV by contrast is not historically a requirement. We’re not all gaming nerds though. We have a friendly, informal team culture with a great mix of backgrounds and genders. What we share in common is having a passion for delivering high quality work for our client and working together as one team to solve problems. We collaborate in the office on Mondays and Fridays , with Tuesdays as mandatory at the client office. As a team, we focus on the output, not the hours in offices - embracing flexible working – as sometimes we need to jump on late / early calls given the regional remit. Ideally flexibility is important to you, not necessarily doing 9-5 in an office every day. YOUR ROLE Location: Sydney The Investment Manager (aka Implementation & Activation Manager) is a critical role, over-seeing activation of client campaigns to ensure best-in-class delivery for clients consistently, whilst also shaping effective, efficient, creative, and future facing implementation plans and media schedules for clients, to deliver business growth. As a Manager you are responsible for supervising elements of team workload to ensure client demands are met and ensure a high level of effective collaboration between team members and key stakeholders. YOUR IDEAL SKILLS & EXPERIENCE You will thrive in this role if you’re friendly, confident and have strong planning, buying and reporting skills. The account structure is quite unique so you’ll have a proactive attitude to embrace a lot of initial learning. You’re diligent, reliable and have a positive attitude & problem-solving mindset. You’ll excel with local planning experience and language skills of another relevant market in Asia / IMEA (e.g. Japan / Korea / KSA), but is not a mandate. We can educate the successful applicant on all relevant local markets beyond Australia if required. You may be passionate about gaming or have gaming advertising experience.
