Digital Performance Manager Location: Dublin Career Level: 7 - Manager Overview: We are looking for an ambitious, sharp and highly motivated D igital Performance Manager to join our team of world class media consultants on the Media & Marketing Performance Practice at Accenture Song. What interesting work does the team do? The Media & Marketing Performance practice delivers a totally transparent, value oriented, performance driven media offering to clients, while embedding the power of creativity and connections thinking into their approach to media. We work with local and international clients to create business growth by maximising their media investment and helping them regain control of their media function. In practical terms, we work across three strands – media consulting (first party data, ad tech), planning and investment (media strategy, e-commerce, connections planning, investment management) and deployment & buying (digital media buying and optimisation across search, social and programmatic, SEO, reporting & dashboarding, analytics).

We are seeking a digital specialist with over 10 years of experience to join the team and lead digital media projects with large clients. This role reports to the Media & Marketing Performance Practice Lead. You will be an expert in using digital media to drive ROI and have particular aptitude in paid search, social and programmatic. Hands on digital buying expertise would be a bonus. Knowledge of or hands on experience with first party data strategy/management and e-commerce would be preferable. You will bring an ambition to this role and constantly be searching for new opportunities to deliver returns for our clients. You will be comfortable with using various tools to analyse data and optimise performance. You should have a strong opinion on how clients can use first party data to transform the way they communicate with customers. This role will be client facing and offers a high level of autonomy, so you must be competent to communicate with clients and able to manage a project end to end. This is a ‘consulting’ role, not an Account Management role, so you must bring a business development mindset and be comfortable coming up with ideas, products and services to help clients get the most from their media spend. In this role you will work closely with the other members of the practice to build a world class media offering. You will have access to the scale, capabilities and media buying power within the wider Accenture Song network. You will also work closely with the other practices helping to embed a performance mentality within the agency.  While the role requires an individual who has a high level of experience in digital performance marketing, candidates must also have respect for and some knowledge of broader ‘traditional’ media channels and their role in the media mix.
