Job Description
POSITION SUMMARY
At Publicis Groupe, we lead the media investment for one of the most relevant brands in the Beauty category across the Spanish-speaking region. We are looking for an Associate Media Director who combines strategic thinking, full-funnel media expertise (with a strong digital focus), and proven ability to lead teams to take the account to the next level: more data, more creativity in planning, and more business impact.
Important: this role operates in a 100% Spanish-speaking environment. All client communication, internal meetings with regional teams, presentations and deliverables are conducted in Spanish. Full professional fluency in Spanish is therefore a mandatory requirement. If you are passionate about the Beauty category, understand how brands are built through media, and enjoy translating business objectives into actionable strategies, this role is for you.
ROLE PURPOSE
To be the day-to-day owner of the media strategy and execution for the assigned brand, ensuring rigorous budget control, planning quality, and consistent delivery. You will work hand-in-hand with the leadership team and Managers to define, communicate, and defend media recommendations in front of the client, making sure every investment is connected to the brand's business KPIs.
Responsibilities
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Design cross-channel media strategies (with a strong digital focus) that respond to brand, performance, and equity-building objectives within the Beauty category.
• Plan integrated campaigns -always-on and innovation- aligned to the commercial calendar, product launches, and key category moments.
• Lead and develop the direct team: set priorities, ensure quality of deliverables, and actively support each team member's professional growth.
• Act as the strategic client point of contact, building a relationship grounded in trust, expert judgment, and proactivity.
• Control budgets and investment flows with precision, anticipating deviations and proposing data-driven optimizations.
• Manage multiple workstreams in parallel, coordinating internal teams (strategy, digital, performance, analytics, creative) and external partners (media owners, platforms, ad-tech vendors).
• Negotiate with vendors and media representatives to secure the best commercial conditions and innovation opportunities for the brand.
• Present recommendations at executive level (CMO, marketing directors) with clarity, confidence, and strong storytelling.
• Translate data into actionable insights, connecting media metrics to business outcomes (sell-out, awareness, consideration, conversion).
Qualifications
KEY REQUIREMENTS
• Native or fully fluent Spanish (C2 level) - written and spoken. This is a non-negotiable requirement. All client communication, internal meetings with regional teams, presentations, and deliverables will be conducted entirely in Spanish. Candidates without full professional Spanish fluency will not be considered.
• 5+ years of experience in media planning, buying, and management, with progressive levels of responsibility.
• Experience leading teams (minimum 3 direct reports), including performance management, development, and conflict resolution.
• Proven track record with CPG, Beauty, luxury, or lifestyle brands (experience with brands that combine brand-building and performance is highly desirable).
• Strong digital media expertise: paid social, programmatic, search, retail media, influencer marketing, creators, and emerging platforms (TikTok Shop, Meta, etc.).
• Strategic and critical thinking: ability to read the client's business beyond the brief and propose unconventional solutions.
• Proficiency with planning and measurement tools (Nielsen, Comscore, Kantar, proprietary planning tools, and buying platforms).
• Ability to manage significant budgets and billing processes with rigor.
• Bachelor's degree in Advertising, Marketing, Communications, Business Administration, or related fields. MBA or specialization in media/digital is a plus.

• A real career path within one of the largest agency networks in the world, with opportunities for regional and international mobility.
