Imagine yourself at Ogilvy.

Imagine you can help brands grow and increase their positive impact on society in a creative and meaningful way. And at the same time, you also grow. At Ogilvy, that’s our mission. We achieve this by bringing in people who are creative, strategic, bold, disruptive, curious, detail-oriented, proactive, enthusiastic, analytical, multidisciplinary, open-minded, and all the other good qualities you can think of.

Can you imagine being one of those people? Then, join our team!

We’re looking for a Content Studio Global Lead to establish, lead and manage the day-to-day operations of a global content studio for one of the world’s leading brands.

Your key responsibilities will be:

1. Operations and Process Excellence

• Set-up and implementation: Design, configure and implement the Content Studio’s ways of working (WoW) and processes.

• End-to-end operational management: Directly and hands-on oversee the full set-up of the WPP Open management platform and the rollout of its capabilities, as well as the conceptual design and reporting tools.

• First point of escalation: Serve as the first point of contact for operational matters and escalations for the client (Peranel) and delivery teams.

• Cross-team coordination: Coordinate with Media, Technology and Production teams to tailor and optimise responses to requests, ensuring the highest levels of quality and efficiency.
• Internal collaboration: Work closely with the PMO Lead on a daily basis to resolve operational issues and evolve the operating model, and with the Creative, Production and Strategy leads to ensure the right teams and processes are in place.

1. Team Leadership and Culture

• Lead the business by providing direct guidance to the team.

• Support the PMO Lead in identifying, managing and, where necessary, changing the talent assigned to different workstreams and projects.
• Foster a strong “One Team” spirit across cross-functional teams, locations (London, Barcelona and India) and the client.

1. Commercial, Financial and KPI Management

• Financial oversight: Monitor financial performance and track the Studio’s operational KPIs.

• Commercial and client relationships: Lead client service and manage the day-to-day commercial relationship. Support the team with commercial activities within the client’s organisation.
• Performance reviews: Conduct quarterly performance reviews to assess progress and operational efficiency, and identify areas for improvement.

1. Adoption and Innovation

• Innovation workstreams: Act as the Studio’s point person for overseeing and driving new workstreams, with a particular focus on AI.
• WPP network collaboration: Work closely with WPP’s internal AI and Technology experts to successfully implement the latest tools and technologies that enhance the Studio’s creative and production capabilities.

Qualifications and skills:

• Operational and business mindset: A strong focus on processes, efficiency, deliverables and large-scale operations management—a true “operations machine”.

• Relevant experience: Proven experience leading content studios, production agencies or regional/global digital hubs.

• Client management: Strong background in client service and account management, business development, and managing multiple corporate stakeholders.

• Technology and AI: A keen interest in, and practical understanding of, how to integrate generative AI tools into creative and production processes.

• Multi-location management: Ability to coordinate projects and teams across different locations.

• Financial skills: Strong understanding of pricing models, project profitability, budget control and KPIs.
• Languages: Fluency in spoken and written English and Spanish, for regular interaction with HQ, local teams and the client.

And since you'll give this and much more, we also want to give you much more:

• The opportunity to be part of a high-impact digital transformation project for a leading global brand (Peranel) within the WPP network.

• The chance to lead the way in AI-enabled content production and the development of new processes.

• A dynamic, creative and collaborative environment across London, Barcelona and India.

• Full-time position.

• Hybrid format: 2 or 3 days in the office / 2 or 3 days remote work.

• Christmas, Easter, July and August: FULL REMOTE.

• Flexible hours.

• Permanent contract with a six-month trial period.

• 22 working days of vacation per year + 12 extra days!

• Optional access to flexible compensation (health insurance, transportation, meals and childcare).

• Ogilvy Wellness Program: free psychological, legal and financial support. Discounts on physiotherapy and gyms.
• Ogilvy is recognised with the Family-Responsible Company (EFR) certification for its commitment to employee well-being and work-life balance.

If you’ve imagined yourself in this position, that’s a good sign. At Ogilvy, we want to work with the best talent—people who challenge us and make us better, who combine strategic thinking with operational excellence, and who are excited to push the boundaries of creativity, content and technology.

People who are eager to experience an agency culture open to diversity as a principle and connectivity as a primary tool.
