• Look after day-to-day delivery while having an eye on what’s coming up next. Manage your time well and support the team in staying on top of priorities.
• Take pride in accurate campaign setup and budget management.
• Flag issues early so they can be solved together.
• People & Team Support:
  Support and mentor two junior team members across planning, activation, and reporting.
• Help the team balance day-to-day delivery with future planning and development.
• Lead by example with clear communication, organisation, and attention to detail.
