Senior Media Supervisor / Associate Media Director / Media Director

About

CTP is looking for a Senior Media Supervisor, Associate Media Director, or Media Director to join our growing media team.

This role is for someone who is passionate about media strategy, loves the planning process, and still wants to stay close to the work. We’re looking for a paid media professional who has hands‑on experience planning, buying, optimizing, and reporting on digital campaigns — and who is excited to help shape smart, effective media recommendations for clients.

This is not a social media management, content creation, production, influencer, or video‑only role. The right candidate will have direct experience in paid media strategy and execution, including digital planning, platform buying, campaign optimization, performance analysis, and client‑facing recommendations.

We are open to candidates at the Senior Media Supervisor, Associate Media Director, or Media Director level, depending on experience, leadership depth, client ownership, and readiness for growth. For the right Senior Supervisor, this could be a strong next step into an Associate Media Director role.

CTP is a collaborative agency where the work moves quickly, the problems are interesting, and the best ideas often come from teams working closely together. Our media team partners with analytics, creative, account, and strategy teams to connect client goals to smart, measurable media plans.

In this role, you will lead the planning and execution of integrated paid digital media campaigns, translating client objectives into thoughtful, performance‑driven media strategies. You will help develop plans, manage campaign execution, analyze results, uncover insights, and bring clear recommendations to clients and internal teams.

You should be comfortable moving between strategy and execution. This person will not simply oversee media from a distance — they will remain close to the platforms, the numbers, the optimizations, and the details that make campaigns successful.

At the Senior Media Supervisor / Associate Media Director level, this role will balance hands‑on campaign leadership with growing client ownership and team mentorship.

At the Media Director level, the role will include deeper client leadership, team development, strategic oversight, and greater influence on the direction of CTP’s media practice.

What You’ll Do

• Leading paid digital media strategy and execution across multiple accounts
• Building thoughtful media plans that connect client goals, audience insights, channel strategy, and measurable outcomes
• Staying hands‑on in campaign setup, trafficking, optimization, pacing, reporting, and performance analysis
• Translating campaign data into clear, actionable insights and client‑ready recommendations
• Strengthening the connection between media strategy, analytics, and creative
• Partnering closely with account, analytics, creative, and strategy teams
• Bringing clarity and confidence to client conversations
• Identifying opportunities to test new platforms, tools, tactics, and approaches
• Mentoring junior team members and helping them grow their planning, buying, and analytical skills
• Contributing to a collaborative, curious, and evolving media practice

Who You Are

You are someone who genuinely enjoys media — not just managing projects, but understanding how channels work, how audiences behave, how campaigns perform, and how smart planning can solve business challenges.

You have hands‑on paid media buying experience, but you also love the thinking behind the plan. You are equally comfortable digging into performance data, building a recommendation, talking through strategy with a client, and helping a junior team member understand why an optimization matters.

You are curious, collaborative, organized, and excited by the opportunity to help grow a media practice inside an agency that values both great work and good people.

Qualifications

• Ability to commute to our Boston office two days per week, Tuesday and Wednesday
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Approximately 6–10+ years of paid media experience, preferably within an agency environment
• Direct experience planning, buying, optimizing, and reporting on paid digital campaigns
