Remote, but team is on the East Coast so working East Coast hours is a must

We're looking for a senior media strategist with public affairs or corporate communications experience to independently run paid media execution for a portfolio. This is not a client-facing role, but you'll own strategy development and campaign execution behind the scenes, working closely with the Account Lead who manages the client relationship directly.

What you'll do

• Independently run mid-spend campaigns from inception to completion

• Build data-backed media plans that align to client and campaign objectives, and prepare strategy and performance materials for the Account Lead to present

• Own end-to-end campaign implementation, including platform execution, optimization, analysis, and partner negotiation/contracting

• Collaborate with the Account Lead to ensure execution maps back to the high-level strategic approach

• Proactively identify and build processes that improve cross-team communication and execution

• Keep multiple high-stakes workstreams moving without heavy oversight

• 6-9 years in digital media strategy, planning, and direct-IO buying (agency background preferred)

• Track record running campaigns for corporate reputation, public affairs, and/or political clients

• Public affairs or corporate comms experience, ideally in DC or tech

• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in tools like GWI, Comscore, Datorama, Google Analytics, or Tableau

• Ability to pick up new platforms and proprietary tools quickly

• Expert-level Excel/Google Sheets for budgets and performance analysis

• Comfortable operating independently, thinking strategically, and solving problems without a client-facing safety net
