Job Summary

Own end-to-end programmatic and audio media buying across multiple channels, building vendor relationships, testing strategies, measurement frameworks, and exploring new channels while driving efficiencies and in-house capabilities.

  • Lead targeting, testing cadence, and measurement design.
  • Manage DSPs, RFPs, and vendor relationships to meet performance goals.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and manage programs across the full audio ecosystem — host-reads, podcasts, streaming audio, and satellite or traditional radio while leading vendor relationships directly.
  • Consolidate a fragmented vendor set into a program you can actually optimize, and bring more of the buying in-house over time.
  • Drive testing and optimization across placements, and own performance reporting for the channel.
  • Develop and execute data-driven campaign strategies across programmatic display, self-serve CTV, and OTT.
  • Manage DSP relationships and optimize toward brand and acquisition KPIs.
  • Create and formalize an RFP process, identify gaps and opportunities to improve program efficiency over time.
  • Own targeting strategy, audience segmentation, and creative trafficking across platforms.
  • Build the attribution and measurement framework that connects this investment to business outcomes, working with our analytics function where deeper modeling is needed.
  • Identify, test, and scale new channels — retail media, emerging and streaming platforms, and other long-tail opportunities.
  • Run a disciplined testing cadence with clear success criteria, and make honest calls about where to pivot.

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of experience in programmatic, media buying, or performance marketing. Agency and in-house experience are both valued.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in audio and programmatic display. Experience with self-serve CTV, OTT, and OOH is strongly preferred.
  • Real fluency with DSPs, PMPs, and DMPs, and a strong understanding of data-driven targeting and audience strategy.
  • A proven track record managing media budgets and vendor relationships independently.
  • Direct experience with podcast advertising, streaming audio, or radio media buying.
  • Strong analytical instincts. You are comfortable building a measurement framework, not just reading a report someone else built.
  • Familiarity with attribution platforms such as Northbeam or equivalent MTA tools.
  • Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor — resourceful, self-directed, and highly organized.
  • Excellent written communication and the ability to present clear, evidence-based recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Passionate about our brand's values of healthy living, environmental awareness, and social responsibility; previous experience working for a brand with similar values is a plus!
