At Publicis Sport & Entertainment, we believe the most powerful marketing happens at the intersection of brands, culture and fandom. We create integrated partnerships that connect brands with the communities, passions and moments that matter most, delivering measurable business impact through sport, entertainment, gaming, music, fashion and beyond.

As part of the Publicis Groupe ANZ family, you'll work alongside some of the industry's brightest minds across media, creative, data, technology and content to create culturally relevant campaigns for leading brands.

We're looking for a Media Partnerships Director to join our growing team and play a key role in building our newly established media partnerships offering.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Media Partnerships, you'll lead the day-to-day delivery of innovative partnership solutions that connect brands with audiences in meaningful ways.

From developing partnership activation strategies and managing client relationships to overseeing campaign execution and nurturing industry partnerships, you'll help shape work that drives both cultural relevance and commercial outcomes.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building strong stakeholder relationships and wants to be part of a business experiencing significant growth.

What You'll Be Doing

- Lead the implementation of integrated media and partnership solutions across sport, entertainment and culture.
- Work closely with clients to understand their business challenges and identify opportunities for growth.
- Manage the delivery of partnership campaigns, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to the highest standard.
- Collaborate with specialists across Publicis Groupe to build creative, multi-channel solutions.




- Develop strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders.
- Provide strategic recommendations that deliver measurable business outcomes.
- Lead responses to briefs and contribute to new business opportunities.

Industry & Partnership Management

- Build and maintain relationships with media owners, publishers, content partners and suppliers.
- Stay across emerging trends, platforms, fandoms and cultural moments.
- Identify new partnership opportunities that create value for clients and the business.

Commercial & Operational Excellence

- Manage campaign budgets, forecasting, billing and financial reporting.
- Oversee project workflows, timelines and stakeholder management.
- Support the continued development and growth of the Media Partnerships practice.

What You'll Bring

We're more interested in your experience and potential than ticking every single box, but ideally you'll have:

- 6+ years' experience in media partnerships, client services, brand partnerships, content partnerships, project management or a related field.
- Experience within agencies, media owners, publishers, entertainment businesses or partnership-focused organisations.
- Strong stakeholder management and client relationship skills.
- A track record of delivering integrated campaigns and partnership solutions.
- Experience managing projects from strategy through to execution.
