We’re looking for you!  
This is a new way of working we are building up and you will be driving in setting the standards for working with digital media in the covered markets. We hope you bring an entrepreneurial mindset striving for continuous improvement. 
 

You have experience of building growth from digital media and the decisions you make are based on data. You have good attention to detail which helps you understand challenges and opportunities quickly. The local marketing teams will be relying on you to be the specialist in digital media topics and therefore it is essential that you are a good collaborator with excellent communication skills. 
 

Most of all, you share our values and ambition, and are eager to lead our transformational agenda!
