• Write and present pre and post-buy documents, POVs, and industry updates.
• Maintain accuracy and control of client budgets.
• Monitor and promptly respond to client requests.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of media agency background, with programmatic trading experience.
• Experience with demand-side platforms (Google Display and Video 360, Amazon Advertising) and Ad Servers (Google Campaign Manager).
• Advanced understanding of Google Suite (Gmail, Sheets, etc.) and Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
• Strong relationship, communication, and writing skills.
• Excellent presentation skills.
• A strong understanding of media strategies, the role of specific channels, formats, and partners, as well as the appropriate approach to client KPIs.
