Why we're hiring:

This is a senior leadership role with real scope and visibility. As Director of Security Governance & Posture, you will build and lead WPP's Technical Security Governance function — a team of domain specialists responsible for defining the security guardrails, posture expectations, and governance standards that protect one of the world's most complex and distributed technology estates.

You will not be managing firewalls or running a SOC. This role is about defining what good looks like, measuring whether we are getting there, and holding a large, fast-moving global organisation accountable for its security performance. You will own the governance framework across seven technical domains — Cloud, Vulnerability Management, Identity, Endpoint & Compute, AI & Agentic, Software Development, and Data Security — and lead the team that brings it to life.

If you thrive in complex, decentralised environments, know how to govern through influence rather than authority, and can turn messy security data into a clear story for a CISO or a board — this role is built for you.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead and develop a team of Technical Security Governance Leads, each owning a critical security domain, ensuring clear accountability, measurable outcomes, and continuous improvement.
• Own the governance framework — defining the standards, baselines, guardrails, and exception criteria that set the security performance bar across WPP's global technology estate.
• Drive posture measurement and performance reporting — owning the KPI/KRI framework that gives WPP's CISO and leadership team an honest, actionable picture of security risk and trajectory.
• Provide independent challenge and escalation — ensuring that material risks are identified, escalated, and treated, and that weak remediation plans or risk acceptances do not go unchallenged.
• Engage at the most senior levels — acting as the primary interface between Technical Security Governance and ET, DT&S, and business technology leadership, as well as Legal, Audit, and the CISO office.
• Build governance that works in practice — embedding security expectations into delivery workflows across a creative, fast-moving, globally distributed organisation without creating unnecessary friction.

What you'll need:

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

• Exceptional communication skills in English, both written and verbal, for diverse audiences.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Demonstrable experience in technical security governance, security assurance, or risk-based security oversight within a global enterprise.
• Profound understanding of leading cybersecurity policies, standards, and frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST CSF).
• Extensive technical security knowledge spanning multiple domains, enabling effective leadership of specialist teams, credible challenge, and keen discernment of incomplete information.
• Proven executive communication abilities to translate complex risk and security posture data into clear, concise, and honest narratives for both senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
• Practical experience governing security across diverse regions and regulatory landscapes, with a solid grasp of GDPR and other major data protection frameworks.
• Comprehensive understanding of client data obligations, recognizing their critical reputational and commercial implications.

Nice to Have:

• Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, or cloud platform certifications (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Familiarity with security posture and detection tooling, including CNAPP/CSPM, EDR, vulnerability scanning, identity telemetry, and effective evidence management approaches.
• Working knowledge of agile methodologies.
• Experience operating within multinational, multicultural, and matrixed organisational structures.

Key Competencies & Behaviours

• Proactive Problem-Solver: Anticipates governance and compliance challenges, developing and implementing effective solutions.
• Collaborative Team Player: Builds and nurtures strong relationships across diverse teams (e.g., Legal, Enterprise Technology) to foster alignment and optimise efficiency.
• Detail-Oriented: Ensures meticulous accuracy and thoroughness in policy development, risk assessments, and reporting.
• Adaptable & Resilient: Thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments, quickly adjusting to evolving priorities and regulatory requirements.
• Unwavering Ethical Integrity: Upholds the highest ethical standards, ensuring strict compliance with policies and safeguarding the organisation's reputation.
• Strong Analytical Thinker: Proficiently interprets complex data to identify critical insights and formulate actionable recommendations.
• Effective Communicator: Clearly articulates technical concepts, findings, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Who you are:

You're open: We are inclusive and collaborative; we encourage the free exchange of ideas; we respect and celebrate diverse views. We are open-minded: to new ideas, new partnerships, new ways of working.

THE OPPORTUNITY

WPP is in the midst of the most consequential transformation in its history. Under CEO Cindy Rose, the

three-year Elevate28 strategy is rewiring the company around four priorities: AI-powered creativity, a

simplified operating model, a sharper client experience, and a high-performance culture. Mark Taylor joins

as Chief People Officer in that context — and one of his first, most strategic hires is the leader who will

design the capability engine that makes Elevate28 real for our people.

The Chief Learning & Development Officer (CLDO) will build and lead WPP's global learning function end-

to-end: enterprise-wide sales and client capability, leadership development, AI and craft skilling, and the

learning culture that holds it all together. This is not a traditional L&D remit. It is a commercial mandate —

build the capabilities that reshape how WPP wins, keeps and grows clients, and make learning one of the

most visible signals that WPP is the best place in the industry to build a career.

WHY THIS ROLE, NOW

Our clients are buying differently. The pitch is no longer a deck — it is a point of view, backed by data, co-

authored with AI, and brought to life by people who can sit in the C-suite and talk about the client's

business, not ours. Across WPP's 30+ agency brands, thousands of client-facing leaders need a sharper,

more consistent commercial playbook: consultative selling, executive presence, sector fluency, and the

confidence to lead transformational conversations with CMOs, CFOs and CEOs.

At the same time, AI is re-shaping every craft we sell. The CLDO will own the strategy that turns AI anxiety

into AI fluency — across creative, media, production, technology and client leadership — and will do so

in partnership with agency CEOs, the COO, the Chief Transformation Officer, and the Chief Technology

Officer.

Make WPP the best place to build a career in our industry. — Cindy Rose, CEO,

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Enterprise sales capability. Design and scale a global commercial academy that lifts the

consultative selling, C-suite engagement, negotiation and business-acumen muscle of several

thousand client-facing leaders across the WPP network — with measurable impact on pitch win

rates, organic growth and client tenure.

• Leadership development. Own the curriculum that develops WPP's leaders from first-time people

managers through to agency CEOs, anchored in our six leadership dimensions. Partner with the

CPO on succession, high-potential programmes and executive coaching architecture.

• AI fluency at scale. Build the learning strategy that makes AI a core capability for every role —

from creative teams using generative tools to leaders making capital-allocation decisions about AI

bets. Partner with the Chief AI Officer and agency leaders to make fluency practical, not

theoretical.

• Craft, client & sector mastery. Codify and scale the craft expertise — creative, media, production,

data, technology — and the sector fluency (CPG, retail, financial services, tech, pharma) that

differentiates WPP in the pitch room and the boardroom.

• Learning culture & infrastructure. Rebuild the global learning ecosystem: platforms, content

strategy, coaching practice, measurement, and the governance that connects every programme to

a business outcome. Move WPP from training-as-events to learning-as-a-continuous-capability-

advantage.

• Team & operating model. Lead a global L&D organisation distributed across regions and agency

brands. Build a high-performing team, set the operating model, and run the function with the

commercial rigour of a P&L.

THE CANDIDATE

We are looking for a senior learning leader with the credibility, scale and commercial instinct to operate as

a genuine peer to the C-suite. The ideal candidate has built enterprise sales and leadership capability at

global scale — most likely inside a multinational tech, professional services, consumer or consulting

business where learning is treated as a strategic lever, not a back-office function.

• Enterprise scale. leader.

You have led a learning organisation supporting tens of thousands of employees

across multiple geographies, and you are comfortable operating as a CVP-, SVP- or CLO-level

• Commercial capability-building. You have built, measured and scaled consultative selling, client

engagement and C-suite-readiness programmes that changed seller behaviour and moved

commercial KPIs — win rates, deal size, client retention, organic growth.

• AI-native learning leader. You are not just teaching AI; you are using AI to re-engineer learning

itself — adaptive paths, AI coaching, simulation, measurement. Candidates who bring recent,

tangible experience shipping AI-powered learning at scale will stand out.

• Executive gravitas. You earn the trust of CEOs, CROs, CFOs and agency leaders. You can influence

a boardroom conversation about capability investment as credibly as you can design a coaching

conversation for a first-time manager.

• Talent magnet & culture builder. You attract exceptional L&D talent and build teams that clients,

employees and leaders describe as indispensable. You treat psychological safety and high

performance as two sides of the same coin.

Who you are:

You're open: We are inclusive and collaborative; we encourage the free exchange of ideas; we respect and celebrate diverse views. We are open-minded: to new ideas, new partnerships, new ways of working.

You're optimistic: We believe in the power of creativity, technology and talent to create brighter futures or our people, our clients and our communities. We approach all that we do with conviction: to try the new and to seek the unexpected.

You're extraordinary: We are stronger together: through collaboration we achieve the amazing. We are creative leaders and pioneers of our industry; we provide extraordinary every day.

• Architectural Contribution & Governance Support: Contribute to defining and documenting architectural principles and patterns specifically tailored for AI-powered solutions, ensuring scalability, security, and ethical considerations. You will also support efforts to ensure new projects and solutions align with WPP's architectural standards and compliance guidelines.

Job Specification

Title: Media Planning Manager

Discipline: Media Planning

Agency: EssenceMediacom Japan

About EssenceMediacom

EssenceMediacom is WPP Media's largest and most integrated agency, combining data, technology, and creative media expertise to deliver full-funnel outcomes for global and local clients. In Japan, we operate across biddable media, programmatic, and direct buy channels—serving clients across brand building, performance, and everything in between.

About the Role

The Media Planning Manager is a central planning role within the EssenceMediacom Japan team, sitting on a premium global brand account. The client operates across a full-funnel media objective—from upper-funnel brand awareness through to lower-funnel conversion—requiring a planner who can connect strategy to execution across both biddable and non-biddable channels.

This role goes beyond digital activation. You will be the primary planning contact for the account, responsible for translating brand strategy into integrated media plans spanning Paid Search, Paid Social, Programmatic Display and Video, as well as direct buy placements including DOOH, OOH, and premium DSP partnerships. You will own vendor and platform relationships, manage integrated reporting, and advise the client on media investment decisions.

What You'll Do

Full-Funnel Media Planning

• Lead development of integrated media plans across upper, mid, and lower funnel objectives
• Translate brand briefs and seasonal campaign objectives into channel-level strategies with clear KPIs and budget allocations
• Build and maintain media flowcharts, budget trackers, and authorization documents for all campaigns
• Using AI & internal tools to ensure plans are grounded in audience insights, competitive intelligence, and category context
• Collaborate with the activation team to ensure biddable plans are executed to spec and aligned with broader campaign goals
• Own vendor and media owner relationships for all direct buy placements including DOOH, OOH, premium publishers, and local DSP partners
• Lead media owner briefings, negotiate placements and value-adds, and manage IO and contract workflows
• Evaluate and onboard new direct buy platforms or partnerships relevant to the client's audience and seasonal needs

Client Management & Collaboration

• Serve as the primary planning contact for the client team—managing day-to-day communication on media planning, approvals, and campaign status
• Present media plans, performance reviews, and strategic recommendations clearly and confidently
• Work cross-functionally with creative, strategy, analytics, and ad operations teams to ensure seamless campaign delivery
• Develop post-campaign analyses with clear learnings and actionable recommendations for future activity
• Contribute to QBRs, annual planning, and budget scenario exercises

What We're Looking For

• 4–6+ years of media planning experience within an integrated media agency
• Direct experience managing or coordinating non-digital channels: DOOH, OOH, premium programmatic deals, or direct publisher partnerships
• Proven ability to manage media budgets, produce media plans, and own planning output end-to-end
• Strong client-facing communication skills—comfortable presenting to brand and marketing managers
• Analytical mindset: able to read performance data across channels and translate into clear business recommendations
• Strong project management discipline—able to manage multiple campaign workstreams simultaneously
• Fluent in Japanese and English (written and spoken)

What You Can Expect from EssenceMediacom

EssenceMediacom Japan operates at the intersection of data, media, and creative. You will work on a high-profile international brand with genuine full-funnel complexity—not a siloed performance or brand role. You will have direct client exposure, cross-channel planning ownership, and the opportunity to make a real impact on how a global brand shows up in the Japanese market.
