Senior Experiential Lead

Location: Clonskeagh, Dublin

Working pattern: Hybrid

Pluto is looking for a Senior Experiential Lead to shape ambitious work for global brands. You’ll bring significant experiential experience, strong creative and commercial judgement, and an instinct for what’s happening in culture.

We’re looking for someone who recognises experiential as a powerful driver of brand growth. You understand that the best brand experiences don’t just attract attention for a day: they connect with what people care about, create participation and build a lasting relationship with a brand.

Pluto is part of Worldwide Partners, an independent agency network.

The role

You will lead and develop Pluto’s experiential offering, working across strategy, creative, client leadership and delivery. You’ll turn brand challenges into compelling experiences, drawing on your understanding of culture, audiences and emerging behaviours to make the work timely and relevant.

This is a senior experiential leadership role. Cultural fluency is central to how you think and work, but your focus will be on making exceptional experiential work that delivers for clients.

What you’ll do

• Lead the development of experiential ideas and programmes for global brands, from initial brief through delivery.
• Identify cultural shifts, audience behaviours and emerging interests that can inspire stronger brand experiences.
• Show how experiential can contribute to brand growth and play a meaningful role in the wider marketing mix.
• Lead pitches and build trusted relationships with senior clients.
• Work closely with strategy, creative, production and account teams to turn ambitious ideas into excellent work.
• Oversee the quality, commercial performance and practical delivery of major projects.
• Set clear objectives for the work and demonstrate its impact.

What you’ll bring

• Significant senior-level experience in experiential marketing, brand activations or live brand experiences for global brands.
• A strong understanding of experiential as a driver of brand growth, supported by work that demonstrates its impact.
• Genuine cultural curiosity and the ability to distinguish meaningful shifts in culture from short-lived trends.
• The judgement to turn audience and cultural insight into ideas that are right for a brand, rather than simply topical.
• A strong track record of leading complex work, senior client relationships and multidisciplinary teams.
• Creative ambition balanced with commercial awareness and delivery expertise.

Why Pluto?

Experiential at Pluto is growing, and we want someone to help take it further. Working from our Clonskeagh office on a hybrid basis, you'll draw on the Worldwide Partners network to create culturally relevant work that gets brands noticed and gets results. This role is for someone who thinks big, wants to be stretched and is ready to grow with us.
