Company description

Who We Are in the UK?

Spark Foundry, the Acceleration Agency.

We help brands to identify, learn and respond to opportunities faster than the competition.

Every client has an area of their business they need to accelerate, from short-term goals to long-term transformation.

We've proven our approach during the most difficult year on record. Now we're using it to provide a launchpad for their future.

Come be an accelerator with us.

How we accelerate

• Planning: an approach that works in practice rather than theory, arming planners with the ability to create cutting edge campaigns
• Intelligence: a suite of tools that give definitive answers to big questions, and uncovers actionable insights about real people
• Trading: a model built on flexibility and trusted relationships, underpinned with bold guarantees
• Relationships: a culture of asking challenging questions to better understand the brief - we are not a 'yes' agency
• People: a strong history of recruiting talent from diverse backgrounds and accelerating their careers

Our Commitment

We are diverse though our experience, people and the clients we look after - and we celebrate that diversity. Our people hold us accountable to our beliefs and via regular surveys and our grass roots D&I team, The Collective, and internal next generation board, Firestarters, we hold regular events and work continually towards generating ideas, initiatives and educating our people to ensure we are a diverse and inclusive agency.

As part of our dedication to create an inclusive and diverse workforce, Spark Foundry is committed to equal access to opportunity for people without regard to race, age, sex, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.

Overview

We are hiring a Global Planning Senior Executive to help shape how some of the world's most influential platforms show up across international markets. Working at the centre of our global planning team, you'll play a hands-on role in turning strategy into clear, coordinated media plans that travel well across regions. This role sits on Meta, one of our most dynamic global clients, where collaboration, curiosity and craft really matter. If you enjoy joining the dots between markets, people and ideas, this is a role where your work will be seen, valued and felt.

What you'll be doing:

• Own the day-to-day delivery of global, multi-market media planning across biddable and offline channels.
• Partner closely with local markets and US counterparts to align plans, insights and timelines into one clear global strategy.
• Coordinate global requests and responses, ensuring information is accurate, timely and easy to use.
• Contribute to planning inputs, PCAs and reporting, turning data into clear insights and recommendations.
• Lead weekly client status updates and support the preparation of high-quality client meetings.
• Build trusted relationships with client and agency stakeholders through clear communication and follow-through.
• Help improve ways of working by spotting opportunities to streamline processes and share best practice.

Skills we're looking for:

• Experience within a media agency or media-adjacent environment, working on local or international clients.
• A strong understanding of the media landscape, with curiosity about how channels work together.
• Clear, confident communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams.
• Analytical thinking and confidence working with data to inform decisions.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to support others to deliver great work.
• Comfort working in evolving environments, with an openness to learning and development.
