Job description

We are looking for a Director to join our management consulting team leading Marketing Transformation for some of the world’s largest brands and marketing organizations.

You will bring your passion for the marketing and media industry, your ability to deliver actionable insights and your strength in guiding a team of rising stars to find the right structures, processes, platforms and partners for the modern CMO to deliver on marketing growth. The role will challenge and empower you, providing C-level access across the industry and mentorship from colleagues with hands-on experience from all aspects of media, technology, agencies, brand marketing and more.

As a Director at MediaLink you will set the strategic approach to delivering on our clients’ need to learn, grow and transform in their respective sectors. Directors play an important role for clients as they are typically responsible for guiding and managing successful engagements and interfacing with senior client executives as the key product and deliverable owner or day-to-day project lead. In this highly dynamic and entrepreneurial role, no two days are alike; one day you will be designing the future marketing structure for an auto manufacturer, the next you are benchmarking the data-driven capabilities of a Retail company to assess gaps and opportunities.

Across all your projects and engagements, you will connect themes and insights for the benefit of all clients and help build a centralized body of knowledge and industry perspective. A successful Director will have the ability to work across a wide range of verticals and company life-stages, is a self-starter and will be energized by the variety and inter-connectivity of MediaLink’s client engagements.
