**About Essence**

Essence, part of GroupM, is a global data and measurement-driven media agency whose mission is to make brands more valuable to the world.

The agency is more than 2,000 people strong, manages $4.5B in annualized media spend, and deploys campaigns in 121 markets via 22 offices in APAC, EMEA and the Americas.

**About the role**

The position of Senior Media Planning Manager at Essence is probably one of the highest and most prestigious roles at the agency with perhaps the most understated sounding title. We have very high expectations of Senior Media Planning Managers in the quality of work that they do and the way that they work within the agency, with our clients and suppliers. This role is for someone that wants to learn about Essence’s unique approach to media by being right in the middle of the action.

Our Senior Media Planning Managers tend to report into a Media Planning Director. They are the lynchpin of the Media Planning operation - the master of the day to day running of the team. They are the engine behind projects, timelines, and next steps to complete deliverables on time. They are a source of authority on operational tasks like Olive (Essence’s campaign management tech), Trafficking, Creative, etc. In meetings, our Senior Media Planning Managers lead such things as Status meetings, they Drive QBRs and ensure that reporting is accurate and contains relevant insights.

The Senior Media Planning Manager has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the tactical media plans and its proper implementation, working to implement the brand's overall media strategy in the context of changing conditions and opportunities. This role is responsible for demonstrating a strong working knowledge of the media marketplace and available media research.
