Job summary

Monks is looking for a Media Planner to join its Media Operations team in Dublin. This role sits at the crossroads of client relationships and campaign delivery, so whoever takes it on will need to be equally comfortable presenting insights to stakeholders and getting hands-on with platform execution. Working hours are set at 37.5 hours per week, and the position offers a salary band of €45,000–€60,000, reflecting a role aimed at professionals with a solid grounding in digital media rather than an entry-level position. Given the breadth of platforms mentioned, from Meta to Amazon, this is a role suited to someone who thrives on variety rather than managing a single channel.

About Monks / the team

Monks operates as the global, digital-first arm of S4 Capital plc, bringing together marketing and technology services under one roof. The company has built a reputation for pairing creative output with data-driven execution, and its Monks.Flow AI ecosystem is central to how it positions itself in the market — as a partner that can move faster than traditional agency structures allow.

The Media Operations team, which this role reports into, acts as the link between client goals and the technical delivery of campaigns. Rather than sitting apart from investment, activation, and data functions, this team is designed to coordinate across them, which suggests candidates should expect a genuinely cross-functional working style rather than a narrowly defined planning function.

Responsibilities

Client & campaign management

• Manage campaign logistics to ensure every project is executed flawlessly.
• Own daily and weekly client interactions, leading calls and meetings to share performance insights and address requests.
• Coordinate with Investment, Activation, and Data teams to act as the internal champion for client goals.

Strategy & platform execution

• Lead digital and social campaign strategies across platforms including Meta, TikTok, Google, Amazon, and Pinterest.
• Brainstorm new ways to improve workflows and strategies for clients and the wider business.

Insights & collaboration

• Analyse data to craft meaningful insights and recommendations for internal teams and external partners.
• Collaborate across teams to build best practices, case studies, and points of view on industry trends.
• Contribute to agency culture by being curious, thoughtful, and fearless in approach.

Minimum qualifications

• Relevant third-level degree in Marketing or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience (4–5+ years).
• Experience managing clients within complex organisations, ideally in a digital-first environment.
• A strong background in digital media, social platforms, and analytics.
• A self-starter mindset, with the ability to manage multiple projects without losing sight of the details.
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
• The ability to communicate complex data in a simple, clear way.

Preferred qualifications

• A bold and innovative approach, comfortable challenging the status quo.
• Prior experience across a broad platform mix (Meta, TikTok, Google, Amazon, Pinterest) rather than a single channel.
• Familiarity with agency-side workflows spanning investment, activation, and data functions.

Salary and benefits

The advertised salary range is €45,000–€60,000 per year, based on a 37.5-hour working week. Specific benefits (healthcare, pension contribution, annual leave, and similar) are not detailed in the original posting . Candidates are encouraged to confirm these directly during the interview process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this Media Planner role remote, hybrid, or fully on-site? The job posting does not explicitly state the working model. The role is based at Monks’ Dublin studio on Pearse Street with the recruiter regarding remote or hybrid flexibility.

Which platforms will I be working with day to day? The role covers a broad mix of digital and social platforms, including Meta, TikTok, Google, Amazon, and Pinterest, so familiarity across multiple channels (rather than deep specialisation in just one) is expected.

What level of experience does Monks expect for this role? Monks is looking for candidates with roughly 4–5+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent third-level qualification in Marketing combined with practical digital media exposure. This positions the role as mid-level rather than entry-level or senior leadership.
