Job Description

At dentsu, we’re looking for a Media Planner who can operate with speed, structure, and sharp judgment, someone who understands that strong planning is not just about channels, but about making the right calls under pressure.

This role sits on dynamic, high-volume accounts where multiple campaigns run in parallel, timelines are tight, and execution needs to be right the first time. You’ll bring a strong digital foundation and apply it to integrated planning across Meta, Google, TikTok, and beyond.

If you’re already confident in digital and ready to operate at a higher standard, this is where you step up.
