Media Strategist

LinkedIn · New York, NY, USA ·

Pay:
$150,000-$150,000/yr
Job type:
Full Time

The role
You own a pod of DTC brands doing $5M to $75M in revenue. Not as a reporting layer. As the person responsible for the growth outcome.

You build the forecast. You set the media strategy across Meta, Google, TikTok and influencer. You direct creative volume against what the data says. You sit in front of founders and defend the plan.
Maximum five accounts. That cap is real and it's the point.

What you'll do
Build and maintain client P&L forecasts that drive every media decision
Own paid performance across channels, working alongside media buyers and creative strategists
Direct high-volume creative production against performance signal
Run client relationships end to end, including the hard conversations
Turn a bad month into a plan instead of an excuse
What we're screening for
Presentation ability under pressure
Genuine technical depth in paid media and financial modeling
Crisis resolution, meaning what you do when an account is upside down
A driver personality who states a position and defends it
What we're not looking for
Someone who waits for consensus before giving an opinion. This seat needs a point of view.

Comp
$150,000 to $175,000 OTE (DOE). Base plus performance bonus tied to pod results.
