The role reports into the adidas Global Client Operations Lead and ensures the platform and data layer are configured, adopted and maintained to a standard that lets the account run with accuracy, efficiency and minimal manual intervention.\nWorking closely with ad operations, activation, data tech and analytics, the role is the account's technical owner for “the system underneath the system” - making sure the tools that power planning, activation and reporting are correctly set up, consistently used, and kept current as the account's needs evolve.\nKey responsibilities\n1. Omni platform & OAI (Agentic Layer) ownership\nOwn day-to-day administration and continued deployment of the Omni platform on adidas, sustaining Omnicom-leading levels of usage. \nConfigure and customise activation and automation platform consoles and capabilities, embedding governance and guardrails into how they're used. \nOwn deployment of the Omni Agentic Layer (OAI) alongside Omni itself, maintaining clear working guidance on when teams should use agents versus the Omni Consoles directly. \nSource, build, curate and manage default and custom agents for adidas: vetting global default Omnicom Media agents for fit, sourcing and scaling custom agents from global and market discipline teams, and retiring legacy agents that no longer add value. \nTrack platform usage and resourcing impact, feeding this into the wider operational transformation agenda led by the Global Client Operations Lead. \n2. Planit & media plan data integrity\nOwn the Planit media plan data entry stack for adidas, ensuring data is entered, structured and maintained accurately across markets. \nDefine and codify best-practice approaches to using Planit within the planning and go-to-market process, so the tool is applied consistently rather than ad hoc. \nPartner with activation, data tech and analytics teams to ensure the technical inputs Planit depends on (knowledge bases, reference data) are proactively gathered and kept current. \nDrive automation and simplification of data entry and reconciliation processes to reduce manual effort, error and duplication. \n3. Taxonomy governance (in collaboration with ad ops)\nOwn account-level taxonomy structure and governance, working hand-in-hand with ad operations to keep it fit-for-purpose across markets and channels. \nEnsure taxonomy is correctly and consistently applied across Omni and downstream reporting/data tools. \nManage taxonomy change requests, assessing downstream impact before implementation and maintaining a clear audit trail of changes. \nSupport data accuracy and compliance by ensuring taxonomy discipline is embedded into day-to-day workflows, not treated as a one-off setup exercise. \n4. Cross-functional technical partnership\nAct as the account's technical point of contact for platform and data questions from activation, ad ops, data tech/analytics and market teams. \nEscalate and help resolve complex platform, data or taxonomy issues, minimising disruption to delivery. \nFeed platform and data learnings back into the Client Operations community, contributing reusable playbooks, templates and configuration standards. \nCoordinate any access management requests across digital and other platforms to ensure the right users have the right access to adidas accounts as required \nSkills & experience\nStrong hands-on experience administering media/marketing technology platforms (e.g. Omni, DSPs, workflow or automation tools) at scale in a multi-market environment. \nWorking knowledge of media plan data structures and data entry tools (Planit or comparable platforms). \nPractical experience with taxonomy design and governance, and how it connects to reporting, activation and compliance. \nComfortable working closely with ad operations and data/analytics functions to solve technical problems. \nDetail-oriented with a strong bias toward accuracy, consistency and documentation. \nAble to translate technical/platform capability into practical guidance non-technical stakeholders can follow. \n\nOmnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.\nOmnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we’re focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do. We strongly believe that celebrating what makes us different makes us better together. Join us-we look forward to getting to know you.
