Our connected platform of companies and capabilities is more than an operational framework — it’s a cultural model we've built to unite our people in a team-oriented way of thinking and working.

PMX (Publicis Media Exchange) is the central investment practice for Publicis Media. We’re all about smarter investment - leveraging scale, marketplace innovation, deeper partnerships and intelligence to deliver growth. Our expanding, passionate team champions Publicis Groupe solutions including Precision (programmatic excellence), APEX (innovative investment opportunities) and strategic Partnerships with key vendors. Join us and help shape the future of digital investment across the Groupe.

APEX is an innovative, disruptive investment solution designed to create unique opportunities that deliver real business benefits. The APEX team specialises in digital strategy and activation across media, programmatic and data-driven solutions - working with leading brands and the best media agencies across ANZ.

We’re looking for a commercially minded Digital Client Director to lead growth for APEX, own client and agency partnerships, and deliver measurable digital outcomes. You’ll manage a small team (2–3 account managers), influence agency strategy across ANZ, and drive a sales‑led approach to build pipeline and hit revenue targets. This role is ideal for someone from a media sales background who wants to elevate their career and work in close partnership with top media agencies.

What you’ll do

- Lead strategy and execution of digital engagement initiatives across the APEX team,



ensuring alignment with wider PMX objectives.
- Manage and grow relationships with agency partners (ANZ agency patch) and key clients - be the trusted digital expert.
- Lead a team of 2–3 account managers: mentor, set clear expectations, and elevate their agency engagement.
- Own new business development: build pipeline, develop compelling proposals and pitches, and close digital deals.
- Sell APEX’s suite of products (programmatic, OOH, content, influencer, YouTube, Connected ID, and more).
- Oversee campaign activation, performance tracking and post‑campaign analysis - ensure delivery against KPIs.
- Use Salesforce to manage leads, pipeline and revenue tracking.
- Collaborate with Programmatic and Social teams, PMX Product & Strategy Leads, and APEX Ops to deliver seamless campaigns.

Who we’re looking for

To be successful in this role, you’ll have about 7+ years in the digital ecosystem, with proven success in media sales, senior account management or a related role with proven experience leading agency‑facing initiatives. You are commercially driven and have a strong track record of hitting revenue targets and building pipeline. You’ll have a strong digital knowledge and are a strategic thinker; comfortable interrogating media plans and adding APEX value.

This role works closely with agency staff at all levels,



so it’s important that you are a confident communicator and can influence at all levels: from junior agency AMs to senior stakeholders internally and externally.

Hands‑on experience with Salesforce, DV360, The Trade Desk, Yahoo, Epsilon or social DSPs is a plus.

Why this is a great opportunity

You’ll be working in close partnership with leading brands and be an insider to some of ANZ’s top media agencies. There’s a huge scope to grow revenue across 12+ product lines and innovative solutions. Fast learning curve: exposure to programmatic, social, OOH, content and Connected ID solutions and real career progression within PMX and Publicis Groupe.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage candidates who don’t meet every single bullet to apply - if you’re ambitious, commercially minded and eager to learn, we want to hear from you.

Ready to take the next step? We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the team. Apply now and join PMX to shape digital investment and grow with APEX.
