Job description

Obsessed Media is an independent media group focused on helping our clients dramatically improve the impact of their media through smarter plans, sharper strategy, creativity, and measurable results. 
As we continue to scale, we’re searching for a Media Director to lead client strategy, own media plans, manage key client relationships, and raise the bar across accounts and teams. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can think big, juggle multiple accounts seamlessly, and consistently deliver breakthrough work.
You’ll serve as the strategic lead on assigned clients, guiding media approach from brief to business results, while mentoring team members and shaping how Obsessed shows up in the market. Responsibilities include:
Client & Account Leadership
  • Oversee the planning, execution, and optimization of client campaigns across all channels.
  • Act as the senior media lead and trusted advisor for our clients
  • Partner with agency leaders to develop media strategy, ensuring plans are grounded in business objectives, market research, and on brand
  • Lead senior-level client conversations, presentations, and POVs with confidence and clarity
  • Anticipate client needs and proactively bring ideas, opportunities, and course-corrections forward
  • Maintain a deep understanding of each client’s category, competition, and consumer behavior

Media Planning & Buying
  • Serve as the senior owner of media planning and buying across assigned clients
  • Set the planning framework and investment approach across channels, ensuring budgets are aligned to business outcomes
  • Oversee all buying activity, including partner selection, deal structures, and investment rationale
  • Evaluate tradeoffs between platforms, partners, and formats, and make clear, defensible recommendations
  • Ensure buys are executed accurately and efficiently, with strong stewardship of client budgets
  • Treat client money like it’s your own, and expect the same from the team

Campaign Oversight & Accountability
  • Oversee campaign execution across teams and partners, ensuring quality, pacing, and performance standards are met
  • Works with internal team to build reporting, guiding optimization decisions across multiple channels
  • Ensure measurement frameworks are sound and insights are clear, honest, and useful
  • Lead post-campaign analysis to generate relevant learnings

Team Leadership & Development
  • Mentor, develop, and oversee media team members across all levels
  • Set clear expectations and provide guidance without micromanaging
  • Elevate the quality of thinking, storytelling, and rigor across the work
  • Help shape internal processes, planning standards, and best practices as the agency grows

Growth & New Business
  • Contribute to new business efforts through strategic thinking, planning leadership, and client-facing presentations.
  • Help define Obsessed Media’s POV on modern media internally and externally
  • Represent Obsessed as a credible, thoughtful leader in media conversations.

Who You Are
  • An experienced, senior media thinker who can zoom out and get into the weeds when it matters
  • A quick and excited learner
  • Comfortable owning decisions and the results that come with them
  • Not comfortable with status quo of media
  • Confident leading clients, teams, and partners without a defined playbook or pre-developed systems
  • Strategic but clear, allergic to fluff and performative media jargon
  • Curious, opinionated, and willing to challenge assumptions (including your own)
  • Highly organized, but not rigid
  • A little too obsessed with media
  • Reads job descriptions closely enough to to notice errors
How We Work
  • We move fast, but we don't rush: We value being quick, but thoughtful in strategy, planning, and execution
  • We take ownership: We treat client budgets and agency capital as if it were our own
  • We keep it human: We are a low-ego team that knows how to keep work fun
If you’re excited to run point on high-profile campaigns, be a part of a fast growing agency, manage projects from start to finish, and help us keep making media better, we’d love to meet you
