As our definitive leader of digital media, you will champion the agency’s POV and contribute your own personal vision for media strategies and program offerings for clients in the Travel and Fintech spaces, among other exciting industries.

You will ensure that we are constantly innovating and providing clear value for our clients. You will interact daily with agency teams and client leadership, ensuring our strategy and outcomes nail business objectives.

• Overall performance of media campaigns
• High-value reporting and insights
• Thought leadership and innovation in our offering
• Contribution to proposals and pitches

What we’re looking for:

• A natural leader that exudes confidence, positivity, motivation and empathy; someone who brings out the best in people and the room is better because they are in it
• Someone with business acumen and a passion for solving business challenges
• A detailed oriented leader to help project manage client deliverables; plans, reporting, and manage the financial health of clients
• A collaborative spirit who respects what Creative and Tech bring to the table; a desire to work across the aisle to create and optimize high-performing marketing programs
• A team player that genuinely thrives from working with people, whether that be clients, peer leaders or teams that need guidance and mentoring
• An innovative soul that isn’t scared of continually trying or learning new things in the name of progress
• Knowledge in Fintech, B2B and Destination Marketing

What’s in it for you:

• A tremendous opportunity to drive the growth of your career in a very entrepreneurial, nimble and open-minded organization
• A real voice in the company. Your ideas, plans and feedback will have an impact, guaranteed
• A supportive and collaborative leadership structure that truly cares about their people
• A smart, innovative and fun-loving group of people to call your work family
• A stable workplace with a 5-year average employee tenure – people like it here!

You’ve done this before:

• Have had field experience as a channel specialist or media planner/buyer
• Developed high-performing, multi-channel digital programs within an agency setting
• Nailed how to successfully pitch a media plan and communicate predictive performance in a compelling way
• Proven yourself to be a valuable and trusted asset to clients
• Been integral to the growth and success of an agency
• Shown success as a team leader, mentor and manager
• Presented as an expert thought leader in front of clients, peers, and at industry events
• Held a leadership position for at least 3 years

The ideal candidate for this position will have at least 7-10 years of professional experience in a digital media capacity. Added bonus if you have experience marketing the fintech/hospitality/travel/destination industry.

Salary will be commensurate with experience. And our benefits are pretty sweet, too.
