Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own Underdog's offline media strategy across Linear TV, OTT/CTV, Radio/Audio, Out-of-Home, and future offline acquisition channels.
  • Manage a significant media budget with full accountability for efficiency, incrementality, and business impact.
  • Identify new opportunities to scale acquisition through creative media buying, emerging channels, partnerships, and innovative testing strategies.
  • Continuously optimize media investments by minimizing non-incremental spend and reallocating budget toward the highest-return opportunities.
  • Develop increasingly sophisticated local and regional media strategies to improve targeting and efficiency.
  • Lead agency strategy and performance, ensuring we're working with best-in-class partners and holding them accountable to ambitious goals.
  • Partner closely with Creative, Brand, Paid Social, and Lifecycle Marketing to build integrated campaigns that deliver consistent messaging across channels.
  • Champion creative testing within offline media, ensuring creative strategy is treated as a growth lever—not just a production function.
  • Define KPIs and measurement frameworks for offline marketing performance.
  • Partner with Data Science, Analytics, and Marketing Operations to improve attribution, reporting infrastructure, and executive-level dashboards.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience leading offline media strategy for a high-growth consumer company
  • Deep expertise across television, streaming/CTV, audio, radio, out-of-home, and broader offline media planning and buying.
  • Experience managing large media budgets with a strong track record of driving measurable customer acquisition.
  • Highly analytical with a strong understanding of attribution, incrementality testing, media mix modeling, and marketing measurement.
  • Experience building or overseeing brand/media measurement frameworks (e.g., brand lift studies, media delivery tracking) as a complement to, not a replacement for, direct-response attribution.
  • Creative thinker who pushes agencies and internal teams to test new offline channels, formats, and dynamic/real-time creative rather than defaulting to standard placements.
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity, especially around real-time, in-season flighting decisions that must react to team performance and demand signals with no clean forecast.
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and building new programs from the ground up.
  • Strong experience leading agency relationships and getting the best work from external partners.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaborator who can influence without direct authority.

Benefits

  • Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Home office stipend
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents
