You must also have a good understanding of the media marketplace, and a strong network of connections with key media partners across a variety of channels. 

You must be a self-starter, and very goal orientated. This is an opportunity to lead the growth of new multi-market trading solution in France furthering our position as a core solution within Publicis Media’s strategic approach in France.
