The role
We're building a central home for brand, media and creative production across our portfolio — 11 brands, 7 countries, tens of millions of listings a day.

What you'll own
Brand strategy and architecture for the full portfolio — what each brand is for, who it's for, and how they relate to each other
The codes, tone of voice, approval process and measurement standard every brand is held to
Direct management of our core consumer brand across three markets
The launch and rollout of a new corporate brand
Social and community, for our core brand and for the categories without a brand of their own
Media strategy, planning and investment across the group, including channel strategy, investment governance and contract negotiation
The central media buying desk
An in-house creative studio — creative, content, design and production, with local-language capability
The agency roster and the in-housing programme that consolidates it
