Das bewegst du:

Als Media Strategist (Mensch) im Strategieteam von WPP Media übersetzt du harte Business-Zahlen & Daten in eine überzeugende Storyline. Deine Aufgabe ist es, tief in die Materie einzutauchen, das "Warum" zu entschlüsseln und daraus Richtungen abzuleiten, die nicht nur logisch sind, sondern mitreißen. Du bekommst den Freiraum, dich auf eigenen Themen einzubringen und Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Du stehst aber nie alleine da: Bei großen und komplexen Herausforderungen hast du jederzeit die volle Rückendeckung und das Mentoring des Senior-Teams.

• Trends & Innovationen: Du erkennst marktverändernde Trends und Innovationen und übersetzt greifbare Handlungsempfehlungen für unsere Kunden.
• Markt- & Wettbewerbsanalysen: Durch tiefgehende Markt-, Wettbewerbs- und Trendanalysen sowie Zielgruppensegmentierungen leitest du wertvolle Insights ab, die das Fundament für unsere strategische Arbeit bilden.
• Strategieentwicklung: Du entwickelst integrierte, datenbasierte Kommunikations- und Mediastrategien für nationale und internationale Kunden und unterstützt bei der Entwicklung überzeugender New Business Präsentationen. Dabei transformierst du Daten in Narrative, die mitreißen.

• KI-Nutzung: Du nutzt KI-Tools routiniert für Research oder Content-Erstellung, verlässt dich aber nie blind auf den Output. Du validierst Ergebnisse kritisch und integrierst sie effizient in deine Arbeitsprozesse.
• Projektmanagement: Im Projektmanagement behältst du auch bei parallelen Aufgaben den Überblick, definierst Prioritäten und sorgst dafür, dass Timings und der "Critical Path" eingehalten werden.

Das zeichnet dich aus:

• Fundierte Ausbildung: Du bringst ein abgeschlossenes Studium (z.B. BWL, Marketing, Kommunikation, Medienwissenschaften, Soziologie) und etwa 1-2 Jahre relevante Erfahrung aus dem Agentur-, Beratungs- oder vergleichbaren Bereichen mit.
• Praxiserfahrung: Media-Know-how (z.B. Planungsprozesse, Kanäle) ist von Vorteil. Sollte dieses Wissen fehlen, ist dein Wille entscheidend, dich neben strategischen Fragestellungen auch in die Mechaniken der Mediaplanung einzuarbeiten – damit du letztlich verstehst, wie deine Konzepte ihre Wirkung in dem Arbeitsalltag einer Mediaagentur entfalten.
• Arbeitsweise: Du arbeitest dich proaktiv und eigenständig in neue Sachverhalte ein und bildest dir deine Meinung basierend auf fundierter Recherche und Fakten, mit denen du auch in Diskussionen argumentieren kannst.
• Selbstreflektion: Feedback verstehst du als Chance zur Weiterentwicklung. Du reflektierst deine eigene Arbeit und forderst aktiv Rückmeldung ein.
• Kommunikation: Du kannst komplizierte Dinge einfach erklären und verfügst über sehr gute Deutsch- und Englischkenntnisse.

Darüber hinaus bist du: #überzeugend #gewissenhaft #verantwortungsbewusst

Wenn du diesen Job spannend findest, dann ermutigen wir dich ausdrücklich zur Bewerbung, auch wenn du nicht jede oben gelistete Qualifikation aufweisen kannst.
