Full Job Description
We're looking for a Media Supervisor who is as comfortable in the weeds of DSP platforms as they are presenting big-picture strategy to clients. In this role, you'll thrive in a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment where creativity, data, and collaboration come together to drive measurable impact.

As a key member of our media team, you'll plan, present, and execute multi-channel media campaigns across both digital and offline platforms. You'll be the bridge between client needs and market opportunities-turning insights into action, optimizing campaigns in real time, and translating complex performance data into clear, compelling stories. You'll have the support of an experienced Associate Media Director while also managing and developing a Media Coordinator, ensuring you're leading both strategy and people forward.

What You'll Do
  • Lead Multi-Channel Campaigns: Plan, negotiate, and execute media strategies that span digital, programmatic, and traditional channels, adjusting in real time to performance data.
  • Client Partnership: Build trust with clients by understanding their business challenges and presenting media solutions that are innovative, clear, and aligned with their goals.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Translate complex analytics into actionable recommendations and easily digestible stories for non-expert audiences.
  • Team Leadership: Mentor and guide junior talent, providing both hands-on support and professional development. Resolve conflicts and performance issues with professionalism and care.
  • Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with internal creative, strategy, and analytics teams to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Problem Solving: Tackle underperforming campaigns head-on with thoughtful, data-backed solutions.
  • Adaptability: Thrive in shifting priorities and evolving media landscapes, with an AI-forward mindset that embraces new tools and innovations.

What Makes You a Great Fit
  • 5+ years of media planning and/or buying experience (agency experience strongly preferred).
  • Proven expertise in programmatic media and DSP platforms, delivering campaigns that drive ROAS and conversions.
  • Strong grasp of current media trends and best practices; naturally curious and already integrating AI tools into your work.
  • Confident presenter with polished communication skills-whether it's in PowerPoint, written strategy, or client-facing conversations.
  • Detail-oriented in reviewing buys, pacing, and reporting, with the ability to spot errors before they become issues.
  • A collaborative, solution-oriented mindset-bringing autonomy, initiative, adaptability, and teamwork to everything you do.
  • Bonus points for a degree in advertising, media, or communications, or prior experience at a top-tier agency.

Why You'll Love This Role

Every day will look different: one morning you may be digging into DSP dashboards to troubleshoot delivery, that afternoon you could be leading a client presentation, and tomorrow you may be mentoring your coordinator on pacing reports. You'll be at the intersection of strategy, execution, and client leadership, with the chance to influence both the direction of campaigns and the growth of your team.

This is a role for someone who's not just keeping up with the media landscape but helping shape where it's going-bringing curiosity, creativity, and confidence to everything they do.
