This role is ideal for a strategic media leader who can oversee the day‑to‑day management of a portfolio of mid‑size healthcare clients while guiding integrated, audience‑first paid media programs that drive measurable business outcomes for the brands we serve.

The Director will serve as a senior client‑facing lead, partnering across Activation, Analytics, Creative, and Account teams to develop and optimize cross‑channel media strategies aligned to each client’s goals. This individual will bring strong digital media expertise, a sharp analytical mindset, and the ability to turn insights into clear, actionable recommendations for clients and internal stakeholders alike.

• Lead day‑to‑day media strategy and client management across a portfolio of mid‑size healthcare accounts
• Oversee the development of audience‑first, cross‑channel paid media plans aligned to brand and business objectives
• Translate research, audience insights, and performance data into actionable planning recommendations
• Partner with Activation, Analytics, Creative, and Advertising Account teams to ensure integrated execution across workstreams with our full‑service clients
• Guide budget allocation, deliverable development, and campaign planning with a focus on quality, efficiency, and business impact
• Work with Analytics teams to measure campaign performance and marketing ROI, identifying optimization opportunities and communicating clear implications and next steps to clients and activation teams
