Your focus will be on media planning, buying, optimization and performance analysis across multiple mediums, primarily but not limited to: premium digital video and connected TV, social platforms, programmatic video and display, and high-value direct partnerships. You will bring a data-driven mindset to help determine the optimal channel mix for reach our specific audience and move the needle. You will work with media agencies and other partners to ensure we’re on-air, on-time, and on-budget. And you will partner closely with other product experts throughout the company to build the next generation of industry-leading media buying tools.
