Cactus

Media Supervisor

At Cactus, we’re not really the bragging type - we like to let our work do the talking. But, we love to brag about our in-house media group. Lately this team has been on a roll, growing rapidly in both sophistication and in size, and we’re continuing to add new in-house offerings and take on new client partners. We’re looking for a Media Supervisor to join our crew and help us take our media offering to the next level. This is a full-time position, with a hybrid in-office / work from home schedule. 

Our Media team is structured around Client-Leads, overseeing all media planning and buying activities for their specific book of business, and working closely with our Subject Matter Expert teams to develop recommendations and implement, optimize and report out on media performance. This Media Supervisor role will serve as one of our “Client-Leads” - directly responsible for the success of multiple Cactus media clients.

In your day-to-day, you will partner closely with media clients, gathering intel and becoming a true expert on their business. You will partner with our team of planners to develop tactical media recommendations, while also overseeing the execution of your clients’ media campaigns. 

This role will also be responsible for hands-on media planning and buying work - preparing tactical presentations, executing buys with key vendors, and reporting out on cross-channel performance.
