Job Summary:

The Paid Media Manager is a position centered on planning and management of paid search, social, CTV/OTT, audio, and native campaigns, while informing strategy around email, organic social, organic search, and any other marketing channel that solves the client’s needs.

This role will work with the Media Director and Account Managers to strategize, build, and maintain campaigns ensuring pre and post launch milestones are achieved and budgets are pacing correctly.

About the Team:

We are PIN, Power In Numbers. We are one team of data driven, client obsessed, humble, and contrarian marketers and technologists. We exist to serve challenger brands by uniting technology and marketing to blur the lines between brand and performance marketing. Our ethos is focusing on the end result more than the methods.

This position will fall under PIN’s Client Operations Team, the channel focused and client facing group of marketing specialists executing full-funnel content driven marketing campaigns across paid media, organic media, email, web, video, experiential, and more.

About You:

You’re a clever, hungry and humble self starter. You’ve been around the world of media and marketing long enough to know what you’re doing, but you’re uncomfortable with doing things simply “because they’ve always been done that way”. You’re unafraid to dive into new tactics, channels, and methods for our clients and you keep your mind sharp on the industry and its latest developments and tools. You’re accountable to deadlines, and accountable to your team. You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment, you won’t be shy in a Zoom call or a client meeting, and you won’t be the person who prefers someone else map out their day or keep to themselves. You’ll come with opinions and stories of success and failure (hopefully some of them are funny too), and you’re open to learn as you write more stories of your success.
