Investments Trader - MFA Job Board

Job Category MFA Job Board Employer: CHEP Network
Location: Sydney, NSW

Overview:

CHEP Network is looking for a new breed of Investment Trader

We are looking for an Investment Trader that loves creativity, and the opportunities new technologies and thinking provides. Change is something you thrive on and moving fast keeps it interesting for you.

In the addressable era, the dynamics of growth are changing, and new marketing economics are emerging. Changes in the tools and technologies used to plan and trade media are creating a new set of conditions for how we build growth for our brands.

For media strategy, planning and buying this means managing the many trade-offs and decisions on where we invest and how we show up. At CHEP Media we call this Growth Based Planning, and it's how we create competitive advantage for our clients within the confines of a new economy.

We have big ambitions for CHEP Media. Today we work across 15+ clients, investing over $200m in market on their behalf. By the end of 2022 we plan to double this. Given the full- service nature of the broader CHEP business, we are a media agency that can integrate seamlessly into the creative product, adding value through market leading communication planning - bringing ideas to life in a way other media agencies struggle to comprehend. Despite our proud ability to integrate, we aspire to also be a standalone media agency like no other, ruthlessly focused on solving client problems through sound client diagnostics that inform simple strategy and best in class execution. We strive for effectiveness over execution. If you're a client looking for cheap reach and bonus pots, then quite simply, we are not the agency for you.

You're someone who gets excited by new challenges and the opportunities to work across a wide breath of work, from campaigns and digital experiences to products & services at scale.

Not only are you fun to be around, but you're also a team player, able to work collaboratively and proactively. You think about both the big picture and drill down to the finer details.

You thrive in a learning environment. You are excited to not only learn from those more experienced than you, but you relish the opportunity to mentor more junior members on the team.

You'll be working on some of Australia's most loved brands at the AFR's number one ranked 'Most Innovative Media & Marketing Company' in 2020.
