  • Oversee the development of integrated media strategies and plans across traditional and digital channels, from audience insight through channel mix and budget allocation.
  • Review and approve media plans, flowcharts, and recommendations before they go to clients, making sure they are strategically sound and accurately aligned with briefs
  • Partner with buying and activation teams so plans are executed as approved, on time and on budget.
  • Oversee campaign reporting and post-campaign analysis that tells a story: results, ROI, learnings, and recommended optimizations.
  • Manage client budgets, billing, and scopes of work, working with Finance on budgets, forecasting and reconciliation.
  • Lead and support new business pitches and renewals as a senior sponsor.
  • Coach and develop team members
  • Develop PUSH’s AI capabilities across clients through our proprietary STRATIS platform.

What you bring

  • A track record of retaining, growing, and running profitable accounts, including forecasting and scope management.
  • Experience with oversight for media strategies and plans that deliver against business outcomes, including channel mix and budget allocation decisions.
  • A solid grasp of media math, audience research, and measurement, including reach and frequency, CPMs, attribution, and performance KPIs.
  • Experience organizing cross-functional teams across strategy, creative, media, and operations to deliver on client outcomes.
  • Strong executive presence and confidence managing conflict and escalations.
  • Hands-on new business experience: pitches, renewals, and expansions.
  • Experience coaching and developing future client leaders.
  • An understanding of AI developments in the market and how they bring a mix of efficiency and outcomes to both internal ways of working as well as supporting client outcomes
