You will work on budgets, costs, negotiations, and relationships with media partners. This means analyzing digital investments, preparing cost recommendations, participating in tenders, and collaborating with major media suppliers and WPP teams.
We are looking for someone who is already familiar with the digital world-someone who understands the media market, knows the mechanisms of media buying, and can look at numbers from a business perspective.
Your daily tasks will include:
- Analyzing digital spending and purchasing conditions with key media partners
- Preparing cost recommendations and offers for current clients and tenders
- Analyzing benchmarks, media costs, and purchasing effectiveness, and seeking optimization opportunities

Requirements
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in digital media, preferably in media buying, trading, investment, or a related commercial role
- Excellent knowledge of the digital advertising market, purchasing models, and key media metrics
- Experience working with costs, commercial offers, benchmarks, or media negotiations
- Proficiency in Excel and working with large datasets
- Ability to draw conclusions from data and translate them into business recommendations
- Experience in working with publishers, platforms, or other media partners
- Excellent negotiation and communication skills
- Independence-we are looking for someone who can take responsibility for their area and lead a topic from analysis to recommendation
- Fluency in English
Having experience in investment/trading in a media house, media audit, or from the media owner's side, as well as knowledge of custom digital products and solutions, will be a significant advantage.
