About the Role
Media Transformation (MT) is Monks’ practice for helping enterprise brands improve business outcomes by modernizing how media is planned, activated, and measured. Combining consulting, hands-on media expertise, and emerging technology, MT helps clients build more effective operating models, accelerate innovation, and develop lasting media capabilities.
MT began in 2017 with an in-housing program that Harvard Business School now teaches as a case study. Today it works as both a specialized consultancy and an embedded capability partner. Engagements range from focused projects (audits, taxonomy, pilots) to full in-housing transitions and evergreen embedded teams. Positioned between Consulting and Managed Media, MT turns advanced strategy into a working operating engine.
As VP and executive lead, you will set the practice's operational and commercial strategy, scale its advisory capabilities, and build bespoke solutions for what's next in paid media and advertising. You will run the day-to-day business and a multidisciplinary team of 35+, hold financial accountability, and set delivery standards. You will own revenue growth: retaining and expanding existing accounts, winning new ones, and evolving MT's capabilities as client needs change.
You will be an executive sponsor to senior client stakeholders and build long-term relationships with strategic enterprise clients and partners. You will shape and expand Media Transformation's offerings, combining consulting, media operations, and emerging technology to help clients modernize how media is planned, activated, measured, and managed.
Across Monks, you will build strategic partnerships with Data, Managed Media, Creative, DCO, and internal technology teams to develop integrated solutions and create shared growth opportunities. You will also represent MT in cross-company initiatives, client escalations and new business pitches, positioning Monks as the leading transformation partner for enterprise marketing teams.
