Owns paid media planning for B2B clients across search, social, programmatic, and full-funnel channels. Responsibilities include budget allocation, pacing, optimization, forecasting, audience and account targeting, performance measurement, vendor management, client presentations, testing, and collaboration with activation, creative, analytics, sales, and RevOps teams. The role also supports new business efforts and uses market, competitive, and intent-data research to develop data-backed media recommendations.
The Role
At Wpromote, our Senior Media Planners turn B2B strategy into media plans that perform. Reporting to the Senior Director, B2B Strategy, this role owns the media plan for a portfolio of B2B clients: building the channel mix, managing budgets and pacing, and translating strategic direction into recommendations the activation teams can execute. You'll work alongside a strategist who sets the overall direction and leads the client relationship, and you'll be the person who makes sure the plan behind that direction is sound, data-backed, and moving.
B2B media is different. Buying committees, long sales cycles, small target account lists, and success measured in pipeline rather than purchases all change how you plan. The ideal candidate understands that, or is eager to learn it, and enjoys connecting media data to business outcomes. You're analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning the numbers in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.
At Wpromote, we believe that great work is only possible with great people. Our goal is to build a better, more inclusive work environment and support our people at every stage of their careers by prioritizing a strong work-life balance through our policies and benefits listed below.

-Flexible schedules
-Work from anywhere options*
-100% paid parental leave
-401(k) matching
