Job Description

Responsibilities

  • CTP is looking for an Associate Media Director or Media Director to join our growing media team.
  • This role is focused on paid digital media strategy and execution—including planning, buying, optimization, and performance analysis across digital channels. It is not a social media management, content, production, or video-focused role.
  • We’re open to candidates at either the Associate Media Director or Media Director level, depending on experience, leadership depth, and client ownership. The scope of the role and compensation will align with level.
  • In this role, you’ll lead the planning and execution of integrated paid digital media campaigns, translating client goals into smart, performance-driven media strategies.
  • You’ll collaborate closely with analytics, creative, and account teams, bring clarity and confidence to client conversations, and help shape how media shows up across the agency.
  • You will remain hands-on in platform, overseeing campaign setup, optimization, and reporting, while also playing a key role in mentoring team members and contributing to the evolution of our media practice.
  • At the Associate Media Director level, this role balances hands-on campaign leadership with growing client ownership. At the Media Director level, the role expands to include deeper client leadership, team development, and greater influence on the direction of our media practice.
  • CTP is looking for someone who will contribute to our agency’s success by:
  • Leading paid digital media strategy across multiple accounts
  • Translating performance data into clear, actionable insights for clients
  • Strengthening the connection between media strategy and analytics
  • Championing innovation through testing new platforms, tools, and tactics
  • Building trust with clients through clarity, confidence, and thoughtful recommendations
  • Mentoring junior team members and contributing to a collaborative team environment
  • Helping shape the future of our media practice

This is a strong next step for someone looking to deepen their digital expertise, expand their client leadership skills, and help shape meaningful work in an environment that values growth as much as great ideas. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

Please note, all employees are required to be in-office at our CTP location on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
