Within the team you have colleagues in similar roles to this one (media performance lead) and colleagues focusing on the development of specific digital media channels (paid search, paid social and programmatic display and video). You will also work closely with colleagues in media planning and marketing analytics, as well as local marketing leaders. 
 

Media Performance Lead – this is what you’ll do
This is a new role which will lead up our digital media activation in a cluster of markets within the EMEA region. Apart from driving volume growth you will also find ways within digital media to support our other strategic targets of increasing electric car sales and online sales. 
 

Given that this is a new setup that we are bringing to the region, it means that apart from the pure specialist function you will also be driving the day-to-day transformation and help us build up a new operating model. For succeeding you will collaborate closely both with marketing leaders in the local teams as well as functional specialist teams at the headquarter. 
 

Here is a bit of what you will be doing in more detail.
•    Ensure that we have best in class digital media activation in the region. 
•    Act as the key sparring partner of the media agency for the region and approve day to day optimizations, channel budget splits etc to ensure delivery in line with targets.

•    Work closely with content and creative teams for ensuring the content running is delivering the best possible results. 
•    Continuously investigate new regionally relevant digital media opportunities to support the local markets in their strive to drive growth and brand building. 
•    Work closely with media strategy and planning team for ensuring activation in accordance with media strategy. 
 

We’re looking for you! 
This is a new way of working we are building up and you will be driving in setting the standards for working with digital media in the covered markets. We hope you bring an entrepreneurial mindset striving for continuous improvement. 
 

You have experience of building growth from digital media and the decisions you make are based on data. You have good attention to detail which helps you understand challenges and opportunities quickly. The local marketing teams will be relying on you to be the specialist in digital media topics and therefore it is essential that you are a good collaborator with excellent communication skills. 
 

Most of all, you share our values and ambition, and are eager to lead our transformational agenda!  
 

Qualifications:
•    Bachelor or master’s degree within Marketing, or similar level of education.
