Director, Platforms and Enablement

Brainlabs is the independent, founder-led agency building the future of media. We have over 1000 Brainlabbers based across the global, all united through the 12 principles laid out in our Culture Code. We're full-service, with people and AI agents working side by side, all aligned to one thing: maximizing our clients' revenue through a genuinely scientific approach to media. If you want to help play your part in achieving this for the world's biggest brands in an environment that will support and challenge you in equal measure, this is where you do it.

The Role

This is a senior technical role within the Platforms and Enablement team. You will own delivery quality and technical standards across a portfolio of Marketplace clients. You sit close enough to the work to catch a bad setup before a client does, and senior enough to run resourcing, mentoring, and revenue conversations for the team beneath you. Our ideal candidate has hands-on platform experience (DV360, CM360, SA360, GA4, GTM), has managed or mentored a team before, is solution focused with a growth mindset.

Responsibilities

• Manage, lead and grow clients in your portfolio. 
• Serve as a senior technical escalation point for issues, stepping in to resolve  problems and ensuring it is fixed promptly and to standard.
• Diagnose root causes behind recurring platform or implementation issues.
• Strategically lead clients, targeting growth year on year. 
• Consider cross sell opportunities for clients and engage relevant stakeholders.
• Be a practice expert in pitch processes, translating platform capability into commercial opportunities for clients.
• Stay ahead of product roadmap changes, beta features, and platform shifts, and translate what you learn into practical guidance for your team.
• Manage and develop junior team members, dedicating real time to coaching and upskilling, and creating opportunities for others through delegation and sponsorship.
• Support team resourcing and capacity planning

What We Are Looking For

• Deep, hands-on product knowledge (DV360, CM360, SA360, GA4, GTM) at an advanced level. 
• Proven experience managing or mentoring junior team members.
• A track record of acting as a technical escalation point: staying calm under pressure, diagnosing the actual problem, and resolving it without leaving a mess behind.
• Commercial awareness grounded in delivery reality. You understand how resourcing and implementation decisions affect margin, client satisfaction, and team capacity.
• A demonstrated growth mindset: comfortable being challenged, quick to adapt when a platform or a process changes, and genuinely invested in developing the people around you.
• Strong communication skills across technical and commercial audiences, able to explain a platform issue to a specialist and to a client in the same afternoon.
