Planning Executive Director

At OMD EMEA, we partner with leading global brands like Beiersdorf to deliver innovative, data-driven media strategies across Europe. As part of our central planning team, you'll play a critical role shaping how healthcare and skincare brands connect with audiences-driving measurable impact at both regional and local levels.

As Planning Executive Director, you'll lead regional media planning for Beiersdorf's Dermatological and Healthcare portfolio, overseeing strategy development and execution across European markets. You'll manage and mentor a team of Planning Directors, driving high performance, collaboration, and continuous growth.

You'll develop integrated, data-led strategies across digital, traditional, and emerging channels (including CTV, BVOD, and AI-enabled solutions), ensuring alignment with business objectives and KPIs. As a senior client partner, you'll build trusted relationships, provide strategic guidance, and translate market insights into impactful planning recommendations.

You'll oversee campaign performance, define success metrics, lead optimisation and post-campaign analysis, and champion innovation through evolving technologies and industry trends. Collaboration is central-working closely with internal teams, local markets, and external partners to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes at scale.

You're an experienced media leader with a strong track record in integrated strategy, team leadership, and multinational client management. You bring deep channel expertise, analytical thinking, and a passion for innovation and developing people.

At OMD EMEA, we strive to deliver on our promise of 'better decisions, faster' for our clients, partners and all 6,000+ OMDers across our region every day. As part of the world's largest media network, our business is staging experiences for consumers who have more choice and less attention than ever before. The key to the process is empathy. Empathy to see the world through the eyes of the consumer, to recognise the needs of our clients and to identify aspirations of our talent.

Flexible Working

At Omnicom Media Group, we are committed to supporting flexibility for our people while fostering collaboration, innovation, and teamwork. We have a hybrid working model (three days in the office, two working remotely), to ensure that we meet the needs of both our people and our business, balancing the benefits of in-person connections with the flexibility of remote working. Our standard working hours are 9:30 - 17:30, but we offer the ability to flex around core hours of 10:30 - 16:30 to give our people flexibility on how they manage their working day, whether that's in the office or working remotely. For example, you could start work at 8:30 and finish at 16:30 or start at 10:30 and finish at 18:30.

We encourage open conversations between our people and managers to help navigate high-need periods and individual circumstances. Our goal is to create an environment where people feel genuinely supported to do their best - both in their careers and in their lives outside of work.
