About the Role:
Workspark is hiring a Media Buying Analyst to embed full-time directly inside a top-tier U.S. advertising agency. You will work alongside senior buyers and investment directors to execute media campaigns against strategy, budget, and performance goals.
You will scale from managing two campaigns to four plus campaigns within your first ninety days. You will own your workflow, manage tight deadlines independently, and maintain full transparency with your internal team.
**Note: You must have paid media buying experience and be able to learn new platforms fast. While we provide training on specific internal buying systems, a foundational understanding of media math and execution is required.**
What You Will Do:
- Execute & Optimize: Launch media buys against strategy, CPM goals, and strict budgets.
- Performance Ownership: Monitor daily pacing and performance to make autonomous budget shifts, hitting KPI thresholds.
- Independent Auditing: Perform independent pre-buy audits by month three to ensure clean, error-free launches.
- Financial Reconciliation: Resolve billing and reconciliation discrepancies within a strict 48-hour business window.
- Proactive Risk Management: Flag performance risks to internal stakeholders before they impact campaign results.
- Analytical Validation: Use Excel and Google Sheets to validate that delivery aligns perfectly with spend and goals.
What We Are Looking For:
- Experience: 3+ years of hands-on paid media buying across any platform mix. Examples include native ads (Quora, Taboola, Outbrain, Reddit, Rumble, MGID), paid search (Google Ads), programmatic display, or social. Broadcast/Linear TV experience preferred but not required.
- Market Expertise: Direct experience buying media for the U.S. market is required. You must understand U.S. consumer behavior and how American advertisers operate.
- Communication Fluency: Highly efficient English (spoken and listening). You must follow fast-moving conversations with U.S. colleagues in real-time and explain data insights clearly.
- Technical Skills: Proven track record managing KPIs including CTR, CPC, CPA, and ROAS. Hands-on A/B testing and audience segmentation experience.
- Data Fluency: Expert-level Excel and Google Sheets skills (formulas, pivot tables) to validate media math live during conversations.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in any field.
Critical Personal Qualities (Non-Negotiable):
- Time Management: Ability to hit hard deadlines, such as a firm Thursday 5:00 PM buy deadline that cannot slip.
- Ultra-High Responsiveness: You acknowledge internal requests in minutes, providing transparency on your status.
- Initiative: You ask clarifying questions early, raise your hand when stuck, and never wait for a deadline to pass before flagging an issue.
- Street Smart Logic: You notice when data does not "add up" and escalate with a potential solution in mind.
- Ownership: You manage your own time in a remote environment without being chased.
Technical Requirements:
- Reliable high-speed internet with a documented backup power solution.
- Functional webcam and headset for daily video collaboration.
- Quiet, professional home office environment.
Why Workspark:
- Full-time career track role; not a temporary contract.
- Direct exposure to a leading U.S. agency and senior industry experts.
- Access to proprietary AI media tools.
- Bi-monthly payroll via Wise.
- Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave after the probationary period.
