The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Planning & Connections Partner to lead and elevate media planning across the PepsiCo portfolio, bringing together marketing science, data, research and creative thinking, and turning strategy into rigorous, connected and actionable communications plans.

You’ll turn PepsiCo’s growth priorities and audiences into connected experiences across brands, channels and touchpoints, bringing together audience understanding, category insight, brand ambition, culture and media into a clear pathway for growth.

Your impact will be visible in stronger briefs, more audience-led thinking,



better-connected recommendations and continuity from annual and portfolio planning through to campaign implementation and learning.

You’ll stay close to the tools and deep in the planning, interrogating briefs, applying evidence, connecting channels and challenging conventional thinking. You’ll also play an important role in raising the standard of planning craft around you, sharing knowledge, developing planners and bringing fresh research and innovative thinking.

If you’ve reached a senior level but the craft is the part of the job you love most, this is an opportunity to have real influence without moving away from the work.

What You'll Be Doing

- Raise the standard and rigour of communications planning across PepsiCo, with decisions grounded in evidence and marketing science.
- Connect analytics, strategy, media and specialist expertise into one cohesive planning approach.
- Build strong client and partner relationships while maintaining a deep understanding of business objectives.
- Translate marketing science, research and emerging industry thinking into useful, practical planning decisions.
- Raise planning capability across the broader agency through mentoring and knowledge sharing, setting a consistently high standard for planning quality and effectiveness.
- Translate strategy into detailed, actionable communications plans grounded in marketing science, evidence-based decision-making and consumer insight.
- Stay hands-on with planning and use syndicated and proprietary tools to bring greater rigour to recommendations.
- Connect thinking across channels and touchpoints rather than treating individual disciplines in isola
