This role will also partner with regional strategists and analysts to review campaign reporting and translate results into optimizations: budget shifts, targeting changes, and creative refreshes for their channel(s). Performance trends, platform changes, and new targeting or data-sharing opportunities get surfaced back to the Director of Media Planning and the broader team. The role also helps shape a consistent quarterly planning process and works directly with platform partners to identify testing and beta opportunities each cycle.
Scope & Reporting
This is an individual contributor role, one of a global team of seven Media Planners reporting to the US-based Director of Media Planning. The role works closely with, but does not manage, the India-based buy desk, analytics, media strategy, and engineering partners. Initial focus is paid social (Meta, TikTok, Snap), with scope expected to grow over time.
First 90 Days
During the first quarter, the goal is to ramp fast and build trust. Become proficient in Adobe's audience segments, brand guidelines, and channel mix, and work on building relationships with regional strategists regarding media objectives and planning cadence. Complete the buy desk handoff process for at least one full plan submission. You will audit current tagging, naming, and QC practices against new Ops standards. You will establish a regular cadence with regional strategy counterparts and the India-based buying team.
What's Needed to Succeed
5+ years in digital advertising or media planning/buying, with hands-on experience in at least one of Meta, TikTok, or Snap
