You’ll become known within the company as someone who can tackle quality control for all media planning, oversee the team on day-to-day projects, and artfully translate strategies into innovative media – all while building robust client relationships and developing your team’s talent.

Day to day, that looks something like this:

• Performing thorough, insightful campaign analysis, including reporting and optimization recommendations

• Partnering with Account Management and Customer Insight Group, implementing agency and departmental policies and working cross-functionally to champion shared knowledge and establish continuous feedback

• Promoting a culture of shared learning and increasing visibility of media expertise within the agency

• Overseeing budgeting process and performance evaluations to optimize resources and talent development

Qualifications

• A four-year college education and five to seven years of media planning and/or buying experience (with at least three years of online experience), and familiarity with Atlas and comparable ad serving technology

• An impressive understanding of the digital environment – you know this world by heart and you keep pulse with the rapid changes happening within it – and a clear understanding of the media planning and buying process

• Exceptional communication skills – you’re skilled at interpreting client objectives and clearly articulating proposed media strategies and recommendations

• A strong, proven ability to teach analytic skills to staff, developing, encouraging and inspiring them to grow

• Willingness to travel as needed – you’re open to new places, new faces and new ideas

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
