This role directly addresses a critical capability gap on our team: holistic media planning across both RTB (Real-Time Bidding) and Direct IO, combined with the ability to translate complex data sets—including GWI, MRI Nielsen, and Pathmatics—into clear, actionable recommendations for our Business Units (BUs).

The Manager will operate autonomously as a senior lead within the team, owning the end-to-end development and optimization of US & Global paid media strategies, while serving as the primary connector back to BU stakeholders.

A critical component of this role is the hands-on execution and oversight of in-house media channels, including major platforms such as Meta and Google, as well as the activation of 1st party data.

This position requires a candidate who can build actionable media briefs for agency partners, manage cross-functional agency integration, and drive data-grounded recommendations that optimize high-value spend across both agency-led and in-house channels.
