Role Summary

The Senior Manager is the day-to-day client lead and digital media strategist for a portfolio of advertiser accounts. You will shape how each client plans and measures digital media across channels, and advise marketing leaders on where to invest for growth. You own the client relationship, the quality of the media plans, and the account's commercial health.

  • Manage client expectations and escalations, and keep your Director informed early.

Digital media strategy and planning

  • Lead the digital media planning approach for each client: audience strategy, channel roles, across search, social, video, programmatic, CTV, retail media, and influencer, with core expertise in Digital Marketing.
  • Bring a point of view on digital media shifts, such as connected TV, commerce media, AI-led buying, and privacy-driven changes to targeting and measurement.
  • Partner with creative, data, technology, and commerce teams to turn business goals into integrated, measurable media plans.

New business and account growth

  • Identify growth opportunities within existing accounts, such as new channels, markets, and services like analytics and commerce media.
  • Support pitches, media reviews, and RFPs: build the media strategy, plans, and proposals, and present to client teams.

Delivery, optimization, and people

  • Oversee campaign planning, buying, and trading, and make sure quality and client expectations are met.
  • Use measurement frameworks such as attribution, marketing mix modeling, and incrementality testing to optimize spend and prove results.

Qualifications

Must have

  • 4–5 years of experience in strategy, digital transformation, or management consulting.
  • Proven record of leading client engagements
  • Strong grasp of digital themes: customer experience, omnichannel, cloud and platforms, data and AI, and digital operating models.
  • Demonstrated contribution to sales, including proposal leadership and account expansion.
  • Excellent structured problem-solving, storytelling, and executive communication.
