Prospero Business Director

the7stars is unlike any other agency. The distinction started the day we launched in 2005 when we named ourselves after a pub, but more importantly when we made a promise that we were going to do things differently.

And this commitment has stuck with us. It guides how we work, how we think and how we treat one another and can be expressed in a single word. Freedom.

Our Freedom philosophy lives across our entire business from people, product and planning. It means we plan & buy media how we want, develop careers how we want, take holiday when we need it, invent tools when we need them, give people a platform to speak up, question and express themselves freely - but more importantly it has allowed us to create an amazing place to work.

the7stars is 300 passionate media people that can focus purely on creating great work for our clients. We support clients such as Warner Music, Entain, Nintendo, Gousto, Peoples Postcode Lottery and Vision Express. UK focused, we also operate within an agile global network of likeminded friends, extending our client portfolio into Europe and the US.

If thinking freely and with integrity is your bag, then the7stars is the place for you.

The Opportunity

Media never stands still right? And neither do we. Our clients are asking us to deliver award winning, integrated and omnichannel campaigns that deliver clear business outcomes. So, since 2022 we have been bringing together all our specialist teams from paid search and social to AV and press into a single activation team.

The activation team still work in specialist pods or streams, but we think, act and operate as a single activation team. We want well rounded individuals in the activation team that can assess a client brief and apply both their specialist knowledge and skills but always think omnichannel. How do the channels work together to deliver business outcomes? Be that brand consideration or more sales. We are also working to build new products and services for the agency such as consultancy services or Prospero our omnichannel, programmatic trading solution with Hawk.

We have a really exciting opportunity for someone to join the activation team and lead on our programmatic trading solution with Hawk Prospero.

This a great opportunity for a motivated, creative and analytical mind to take a step into a senior role. We are looking for an expert in the programmatic ecosystem, who will think outside the box and find ways to progress the programmatic product for the7stars.

The candidate will be accountable for building and leading the Prospero product and proactively develop the traders to get the best out of the platform, ensuring that they are working towards relevant goals and objectives for the Prospero product. There will be some client facing responsibility especially when driving the Prospero product and as such the role demands a strategic, commercial and operational expert. The ideal person will fit with the culture of the7stars, be a team player, friendly, positive & self-disciplined.

The successful candidate will join our growing team in a role that is responsible for overseeing the planning, activation, optimisation and reporting of activity across the Hawk DSP platform and supporting the team across various DSPs when required.
