Media Strategist, Buying

Responsibilities

• Build, manage, and optimize media campaigns across multiple platforms, primarily using Meta Business Manager, Google and Bing Ads, Google Campaign Manager 360, and the Yahoo DSP. (Other digital channel expertise is a plus.)
• Translate clients’ strategic visions into media objectives and KPIs to accomplish a wide range of client objectives including direct response (lead gen and fundraising), awareness, persuasion, and advocacy.
• Analyze ongoing and historical performance data to identify opportunities for improvement, make strategic recommendations, and generate reporting and insights to drive optimization.
• Have a strong POV on measurement, attribution, and conversion tracking, and apply that knowledge to strategic recommendations and ongoing campaign management.
• Participate in (and sometimes lead) client-facing interactions — you’ll be the subject-matter expert for the platforms you manager
• Work collaboratively with other internal or external teams, including media planners, strategists, account directors, designers, and analysts, to produce campaigns, creative ideas, audience and target recommendations, and experimental designs.
• Keep up to date with the latest digital media trends by building and stewarding relationships with media partners, and engaging in media R&D projects.

Requirements

• 2-4 years experience in a hands-on paid media buying role using a mix of digital channels (Social, Search, Display, Video, Native, OOH, etc) - with preference to experience in executing, managing, and reporting on media campaigns with a mix of objectives/goals.
• Ability to effectively manage multiple clients and projects on time, within budget, and meet performance goals.
• High proficiency with digital advertising platforms — you ultimately want to become a master of paid social, paid search, and/or programmatic trading — as well as Google Analytics and other measurement platforms
• Exceptional attention to detail, especially with regards to campaign setup and trafficking, QA, and reporting.
• Ability to adapt to new situations, solve problems on the fly, and communicate with those around you. Teamwork and scrappiness required.
• A shared passion and curiosity for delivering change. This includes comfort with ambiguity, a restlessness that resists the status quo, and a commitment to quality that ensures we’re always making progress.
• A testing evangelist - no result is ever a problem as long as we can learn and improve in future.
• Humble in victory, constructive in defeat. We champion and expect empathy, communication, collaboration, and respect.
