Overview

We are looking for a seasoned Marketing Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you will be the connective tissue between media strategy and execution — owning campaign planning, trafficking, optimization, and reporting across corporate and political clients. You will work closely with media planners, account managers, product teams, and clients to turn strategy into performance.

The ideal candidate brings deep platform expertise, a sharp analytical mindset, and the communication skills to translate data into clear recommendations. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and love complex marketing solutions we want to hear from you.

• Own end-to-end marketing campaigns across all platforms — from planning through launch, monitoring, and reporting.

• Monitor campaign pacing and performance daily; flag issues and execute optimizations proactively

• Develop and deliver clear, client-ready optimization recommendations based on performance data

• Partner with planning and product teams on targeting, creative specifications, and platform selection

• Build and maintain reporting dashboards; synthesize insights into concise weekly and monthly reports

• Stay current on platform updates, beta opportunities, and industry trends; share knowledge across the team

• Support media planning process with platform-specific POVs, and tactical recommendations

• 5-7 years of hands-on digital marketing experience and operations or paid media experience; or 4-6 years political campaign/agency work.

• Demonstrated proficiency in core marketing platforms such as Google Ads, DSP’s, Social Platforms, CTV Partners, etc. 

• Translate client objectives and KPIs into clear channel strategies, budget allocations, and audience targeting recommendations

• Build and present polished media plan decks and flowcharts to internal stakeholders and clients

• Review in-flight campaign performance data regularly and develop optimization recommendations grounded in data

• Communicate performance insights and strategic adjustments to clients in a clear, consultative manner

• Lead monthly and end-of-campaign reporting, synthesizing results into actionable learnings and forward-looking recommendations

Soft Skills & Strategic Thinking

• Strong understanding of the digital media landscape — how channels work, how they complement each other, and how to allocate budgets effectively across the funnel

• Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to present optimization recommendations clearly to both internal teams and clients

• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously under deadline pressure

• Proactive problem-solver who surfaces issues and brings solutions, not just escalations

• Collaborative team player who can work cross-functionally with planning, creative, analytics, and account teams
