About The Position

This is a global role focused on WPP Media-led Enterprise Solutions (ES) growth opportunities. The purpose of this role is to drive ES growth activation through WPP Media relationships, particularly in areas involving media, data, customer intelligence, measurement, personalization, AI, or platform transformation. Media relationships often reveal issues in performance, measurement, data, technology, and operating models that can lead to significant ES opportunities. This role is designed to identify these signals and convert them into qualified growth pathways.

Requirements

• Managing Director-level leader with experience in media, data, analytics, CRM, martech, AI, or customer transformation.
• Strong credibility with media leadership and senior client teams.
• Able to bridge performance marketing, customer data, platform, and business transformation conversations.
• Commercially instinctive and able to identify scalable ES opportunities from operational or measurement pain points.
• Strong synthesis and client-facing narrative skills.
• AI-enabled, fast-moving and comfortable with ambiguity.

Responsibilities

• Partner with WPP Media leadership and client teams to identify ES-relevant opportunities.
• Shape opportunities around measurement, customer intelligence, personalization, CRM, data, AI, platform, and marketing operating model transformation.
• Help media teams identify when a client need should be escalated into ES rather than solved only within the media scope.
• Develop client POVs and opportunity briefs that connect media signals to broader business and technology needs.
• Route qualified opportunities into the right ES activation support and keep momentum through early-stage pursuit.
• Coordinate with Growth Architecture when the opportunity requires technical validation, enterprise architecture, or complex commercial shaping.
• Capture media-to-ES patterns that can be reused across priority accounts.
