With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions. \nOur two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.\nThrough telling it like it is, owning it now and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.\nWe will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and offer workplace adjustments to ensure you have the support you need to succeed in your role.\nThe Role: Campaign Planner\nGreat campaigns need more than a great idea. They need a plan that makes it happen.\nThe brief is agreed. The creative direction is taking shape. But turning it into a coordinated campaign, with every contributor, milestone and dependency moving in the right order?\nThat takes someone who can see the full delivery picture and keep every part connected. Someone who brings clarity to complexity. Who spots the gap before it becomes a problem. Who knows what needs to happen, who needs to be involved and what could knock the plan off course.\nSound like you?\nAt M&G, we’re looking for a Campaign Planner to help turn ambitious campaign ideas into coordinated, deliverable plans. You’ll provide the structure, pace and visibility that help teams do their best work, from the point the brief is agreed through to delivery, optimisation and learning.\nSee the whole plan. Keep every part moving.\nWorking closely with the Campaign Lead, you’ll translate an agreed brief and creative direction into a clear, sequenced campaign plan.\nYou’ll bring together inputs from insight, editorial, creative, digital, data, production and compliance, turning individual workstreams into one connected delivery schedule. You’ll map the milestones, resources, budget, handovers and dependencies that allow the campaign to move forward with confidence.\nYou’ll maintain a clear view of progress and plan health, keeping timelines, risks, issues, decisions and resource requirements current. When something is beginning to move off track, you’ll identify it early, work with the right people to resolve it and escalate where a wider decision is needed.\nYou’ll also manage the scheduling and trafficking of content and assets into production and distribution. Throughout delivery, you’ll maintain version control and a clear audit trail of changes, approvals and sign-offs.\nGood with detail. Even better at making it useful.\nThis is not about maintaining a plan for the sake of it. The plan needs to help people make decisions, understand priorities and deliver better work.\nYou’ll coordinate working-level campaign check-ins, track progress and help unblock day-to-day delivery issues. You’ll make sure handovers between teams are clear and timely, closing the gaps that can leave activity disconnected or create unnecessary rework.\nYou’ll provide the Campaign Lead with an accurate, up-to-date view of delivery, enabling them to manage senior stakeholders and make informed decisions without having to chase the operational detail.\nWhen you’re supporting more than one campaign, you’ll balance competing demands and resequence activity in line with the agreed priorities.\nWhat you’ll bring\nTo be considered for this role, you’ll need to be able to demonstrate:\nProven experience supporting or managing the operational delivery of integrated, multi-channel marketing campaigns.\nStrong project or campaign-planning experience, including building and maintaining detailed, multi-workstream delivery plans.\nExperience coordinating cross-functional teams and contributors against shared milestones, dependencies and deadlines.\nStrong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain accuracy in a fast-moving environment.\nExperience identifying and tracking risks, issues, dependencies and decisions, with the judgement to resolve delivery issues or escalate them appropriately.\nExperience tracking campaign budgets, resources or delivery forecasts and identifying emerging variances.\nClear and practical communication skills, with the ability to translate strategic direction into defined actions, responsibilities and timelines.\nExperience operating in a regulated or strongly brand-governed sector, and working within brand, compliance and approval requirements.\nYou’ll also bring sound judgement, attention to detail and a constructive approach to working with others. You’ll be comfortable asking the right questions, holding people to an agreed plan and raising delivery risks early and factually.\nUseful, but not essential\nFinancial or professional services experience would be an advantage, but it is not essential. We welcome relevant experience from other regulated or strongly brand-governed sectors.\nFamiliarity with structured risk and issue-management approaches, such as RAIDD, would also be useful. However, we’re equally interested in candidates who have used comparable project or campaign-governance methods.\nYou’ll be curious about how planning tools, smarter production approaches and the responsible use of AI can create greater visibility, reduce unnecessary administration and support more effective campaign delivery. You do not need to be an AI specialist, but you should be able to recognise where new tools could genuinely improve the way work is planned and coordinated.\nBring your structure. Your judgement. Your ability to keep things moving.\nIf you want your next role to put you at the centre of ambitious campaigns, connecting people, plans and delivery, we’d like to hear from you.\nApply for our Campaign Planner role.\nLocation: Hybrid (Stirling or Edinburgh office 2 - 3 days per week)\nReporting to: Brand and Creative Services Lead\nRecruiter: Phoebe Ewers\nWhat we offer:\nWe’re dedicated to supporting your wellbeing and helping you thrive, both at work and beyond.
