Overview

Join to apply for the Strategy Director (European Market) role at Publicis Groupe UK.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading end-to-end media strategy development across European markets
• Responding to briefs and building clear, compelling rationales for cross-channel planning
• Collaborating with internal experts in commerce, social, content and production to deliver truly connected thinking
• Guiding annual media planning, go-to-market strategies and campaign blueprints
• Using data, tools and human insight to drive effectiveness and continual learning
• Engaging regularly with stakeholders across multiple disciplines and countries

What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience in planning and/or strategy roles, ideally with an international focus
• A background that blends strategic thinking with operational know-how
• International or regional experience (ideal but not essential)
• Strong client management skills, able to challenge with clarity and confidence
• Experience briefing activation teams and translating strategy into detailed plans
• Familiarity with media tools and performance data
• Integrated thinking: experience working across media, data, content, social or commerce
• A natural leader, collaborator and communicator

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll be at the centre of the action—not just creating decks, but influencing real, market-led implementation
• The planning starts here: the regional hub team owns strategy, while local teams activate
• Exposure to best-in-class tools and innovation, with full leadership support
• A team culture built around openness, shared learning, and delivering excellence together
• You’ll work with talented colleagues across Europe and beyond—with limited travel and most stakeholders based in London
