The Opportunity

I’m working with a brilliant, fully independent media agency known for its creative thinking, progressive culture, and integrated approach to media strategy.

They’re seeking a Head of Performance Strategy to join on a 12-month FTC. This senior role bridges performance marketing and broader communication strategy, suitable for someone comfortable with digital channels and strategic big-picture thinking.

You’ll lead performance strategies across search, social, programmatic, and more, acting as a connector between the performance planning team and the communication strategists to ensure media decisions are cohesive, innovative, and effective.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading performance strategy across key accounts, shaping data-informed strategies that deliver measurable impact and connect with broader campaign narratives.
• Driving innovation through emerging retail media formats, advanced use of first-party data, and creative use of platforms like TikTok or YouTube, encouraging a test-and-learn approach.
• Collaborating cross-functionally to ensure strategies are integrated and aligned with client goals.
• Utilizing data to inform storytelling and decision-making, including attribution, forecasting, and incrementality.
• Leading and inspiring a team of channel experts, fostering strategic, client-focused thinking.
• Engaging with clients and internal teams through presentations, strategic recommendations, and collaborations with media owners.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Strong background in performance marketing, with experience across multiple channels (search, social, programmatic, etc.).
• Proficiency with data, platforms, and tools, with a strategic outlook.
• Experience in a media agency environment, managing both brand and performance-led clients.
• Collaborative mindset, capable of working across teams to develop integrated campaigns.
• Confidence in engaging with senior stakeholders internally and externally.
• Passion for innovation and foresight into the future of performance media.
