As an Senior Specialist, Media Activation on our Activation team, you’ll support client relationships, oversee campaign execution, manage complex retail and digital media projects, and lead many aspects of program management and innovation.

You’ll succeed in this role if you’re a natural leader, have exceptional communication and organizational skills, and are a creative problem solver with an instinct to use data to drive marketplace growth.

Refine your expertise in leveraging digital media channels for maximum impact—with a heavy focus on the Amazon Advertising suite (Amazon DSP, Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display), alongside social, search, video/Advanced TV (including Prime Video, Freevee, FireTV), and broader programmatic DSPs.

Support your clients and vendors; track, escalate, and solve client issues related to media performance, inventory, and retail readiness.

Partner with clients to understand their business goals, e-commerce/marketing objectives, and competitive constraints within the retail media landscape.

Work closely with your Manager and other Kepler team members to design and execute sophisticated, full-funnel media programs that deliver breakthrough client results.

Kepler’s Media Activation team is made up of forward-thinking media traders, with ad platform optimization expertise across biddable media channels (including social, SEM, video/Advanced TV, and programmatic DSP media: audio, DOOH, native, display, etc.) and a keen sense of macro marketing, data policy, and technology trends.

This team is not simply a trading desk - you are a strategic biddable media expert, who will be client-facing, partner-facing, and seen as an internal expert for brainstorming future-proof ad tech solutions that drive client value and solve/automate internal workflow challenges.
