Project Manager - Privacy and Personalisation Horsham, England
Job description
Please note: Early applications are encouraged as we reserve the right to close this advert once sufficient applications have been received.
Digital advertising has prided itself on two things, targeting and measurement. Both are changing.
We are seeing growing regulatory pressure on AdTech, a drive on the importance of privacy, and the upcoming demise of third party cookies. At the same time, audience's expectations of brands are changing, they are gravitating more and more towards brands they feel listen to them, understand them, and pay attention to their individual wants and needs.
We are looking to recruit a Project Manager who has already delivered projects, change and benefits in these two areas.
The role manages two cross-organistional projects:
* The Demise of 3rd party Cookies: the objective is to develop new ways to find audiences, and new ways to measure performance in view of the demise of third party cookies and the growth of privacy-first marketing.
* Personalisation: the objective is to optimise and personalise each moment of interaction across channels, to grow income, revenue and engagement.
