Are you a Business Manager looking for your next opportunity? Why not join one of New Zealand’s most recognised media agency working with many of NZ’s best-known brands?!

Things are different at MBM. We don’t just pump out media plans, we problem solve with creative, communications-led thinking to solve our client’s business challenges.

Our success is grounded in our people and values. We believe that by empowering smart, curious and passionate people, we can deliver strong, demonstrable outcomes for our clients.


As a Business Manager, you will play a pivotal role in overseeing daily client management and leading the strategic planning and execution of media campaigns. This client management may be in collaboration with senior team leads as well as independently, depending on the scale and specific needs of each client.


In this role, you’ll assist your team in leading media strategies across both offline and online channels, managing planning, buying, and administrative functions for a diverse range of agency accounts with a great combination of brand and performance marketing. Additionally, you will cultivate strong client relationships to foster trust as well as have the opportunity to manage and mentor junior team members, helping to shape the next generation of media professionals.



To be successful in this role, you’ll have 3-5 years of Media Agency experience with a strong understanding of media planning fundamentals and strong planning capability. You’ll be able to separate what is important from the noise and driving the direction of the response with other contributors. You love engaging with clients and coming up with clever solutions and have impeccable attention to detail. Most importantly, you have a growth mindset, are curious, passionate, a great team player and enjoy a friendly, inclusive work culture.



If this sounds like you, and you are ready for your next step, we’d love to talk!
