Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Turn strategy into action. Translate the Director’s strategy into channel and tactic plans across digital, programmatic, and traditional media.
  • Lead full-funnel execution. Oversee the entire campaign lifecycle — build, QA, launch, pacing, optimization, testing, and reporting — ensuring delivery is clean and on time.
  • Own the rhythm. Run weekly client statuses, manage ETAs, triage requests, and keep both team and client aligned on priorities.
  • Tell the story through data. Deliver clear, on-time reporting and insights that translate numbers into business outcomes.
  • Guard measurement integrity. Maintain clean data across analytics and reporting tools, ensuring accurate tracking and alignment between platforms.
  • Champion testing. Drive a steady cadence of creative, audience, and bidding experiments; document results and scale winners.
  • Coordinate vendors and orders. Manage digital partners, DSPs, and traditional vendors (broadcast, radio, print, OOH/DOOH); oversee IOs/BOs, makegoods, and reconciliations.
  • Coach and lead. Oversee the daily work of Advertising Specialists — set expectations, provide feedback, and foster continuous improvement.
  • Strengthen the foundation. Maintain SOPs, enforce quality standards, and implement automations that improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Lead Incident Response. Classify issues, stabilize quickly, communicate clearly, and close the loop with RCA and prevention.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of paid media experience across Meta, Google/YouTube, and at least two of TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or Reddit, plus at least one DSP (The Trade Desk, StackAdapt, or comparable)
  • A track record of operating independently — you've carried a portfolio without close supervision and you keep your own commitments on track
  • Proven experience managing or formally mentoring direct reports; you know the difference between delegating and dumping
  • Proven cross-channel planning across digital, programmatic, and traditional media (broadcast TV, radio, OOH/DOOH, print)
  • Experience with broadcast orders (IO/BO) and vendor coordination for traditional placements
  • Strong command of campaign architecture — naming, UTM, audience segmentation, bidding, and geo/device mapping
  • Highly detail-oriented and QA-driven; adept at catching setup or tracking errors before launch
  • Skilled in data storytelling, reporting, and visualization — turning performance data into actionable insights
  • Confident client communicator; proactive, organized, and able to translate complex data into next steps
  • Advanced Excel/Sheets (pivots, lookups, formulas); TapClicks, Workamajig, Bionic, or Looker Studio experience welcome — we'll train on ours

Preferred

  • Familiarity with Marketing Mix Modeling and how its output informs budget and optimization strategy
  • Hands-on traditional trafficking experience (IO/BO issuance, makegoods, reconciliation)
  • Familiarity with the Alaska market, experience in advertiser-specific compliance, and relevant platform certifications or programmatic accreditations

Yuit Communications

Our integrated approach to communications is unique, but all it takes is a look at the makeup of our leadership to understand why we work the way we do. Yuit’s partners represent four very different professional skillsets: an award-winning artist and designer. A quick-witted video producer. A sharp-as-tacks strategist. And a creative writer, idea man and campaign mastermind who is inwardly cringing at all the cliches we just crammed into this paragraph.The way we work as an agency is an extension of the partnership at our core. We have no place for traditional silos or strict delineation of responsibilities. Everything we do is an exercise in collaboration, and the result is left-brain-right-brain melting pot that serves up great ideas that work. Yuit isn’t personality-driven, profit-driven, tech-driven... we’re just driven. To do work that matters. To create beautiful things. To make a difference in our community. And to hit home run after home run for our clients.
