About The Position

McGarrah Jessee (McJ) is looking for a Media Trafficking Specialist — someone who doesn’t just move assets from point A to point B, but ensures campaigns come to life flawlessly across channels. This role sits at the intersection of media execution, operations, technology and creative collaboration — translating strategic media plans into perfectly orchestrated live campaigns. You’ll support the trafficking lifecycle across both traditional and digital media, ensuring assets, tags, instructions and data move seamlessly between internal teams, platforms and vendor partners. While this role spans channels, the current allocation is approximately: 75% broadcast (linear TV and radio) 25% digital (Connected TV, online video, paid social and audio) This balance may evolve as our in-house capabilities scale. This is a precision role for someone who understands that execution excellence fuels performance since even the best strategy fails if it doesn’t launch cleanly.
