We are Noble People. A modern creative media agency. We develop original, bold and provocative media ideas for some of the most exciting brands in the world.

Media ideas that aren't media. Media that isn't boring. Brand ideas that people love.

We do communications strategy, media planning and buying, and reporting and optimization - but with a lens that respects creativity and without the nonsense that comes along with most media agencies. We are passionate, transparent, and values-driven. We strip out the old rules, find smarter ways to make an impact, and take a modern, innovative approach to media - always through a creative lens.

Role Summary:

The Head of Planning will lead Noble People's planning discipline, ensuring our media recommendations are strategic, rigorous, and commercially effective. You will guide how audience strategy, channel allocation, and plan execution are delivered across clients, setting the gold standard for planning at scale. Central to the role is the ability to bring plans to life for senior stakeholders - framing recommendations not just as data points, but as persuasive, business-driven stories.

You will oversee a team of 25+ planners, embedding systems, tools, and templates that elevate quality and consistency. You will mentor planning leads, create best practices that can scale, and collaborate with strategy partners to ensure all plans connect directly to business objectives. You will also play a visible role in client conversations and new business efforts, ensuring planning output is both innovative and accountable.
