About The Position

We’re looking for a hungry and energetic emerging practitioner. The ideal candidate will have direct experience in digital buying, specifically in biddable media channels like programmatic, social, and search. Skills and aptitude are critical on our team, but we’re also looking for plain ‘ole good humans. A person who runs fast, works smart, and brings a smile to the office (or the video call) every day. The Specialist must demonstrate strong competency of the fundamentals necessary to tactical planning, activating and managing biddable media campaigns. They’ll partner across our organization to build strategic plans designed with a business objective in mind. Once our measurement plan is set, they will work closely with the total team to ensure flawless execution of campaigns from setup through billing. If you’re looking for VP and C-suite access this role will give you both. We have agency and brand-side veterans with show stopping pedigrees, all without the pretention and over-engineering of a holding company agency. Learn more, advance faster, and smile along the way at NOVUS.
