Ad budgets leak money in small, boring ways — a rate that never gets renegotiated, a platform that quietly underperforms for two months before anyone checks the numbers. We're hiring an
Online Media Procurement Specialist to close those gaps and ensure every dollar spent on digital media earns its keep.
This is a remote role. You'll be the one negotiating with vendors, picking platforms, and watching the data closely enough to shift spend before a campaign underdelivers.
What you'll own
Media buying decisions run through you. When a campaign needs placements across programmatic, social, or search, you're the one sourcing the vendors, hammering out the rates, and making sure the contract terms actually protect the client's budget. Once a campaign is live, you don't walk away—you track its performance and reallocate spend when something isn't working.
Internal teams come to you when they need media requirements translated into an actual buying plan. Clients come to you when they want a straight answer on where their money went.
Responsibilities
- Build media procurement strategies around specific client and campaign goals
- Source and vet media vendors and platforms based on audience fit and budget
- Negotiate rates, terms, and contracts to get real value, not just low numbers
- Run day-to-day media buys and keep placements on strategy
- Watch performance data and adjust spend accordingly, in real time when needed
- Put together reports on ROI and budget use for clients and internal stakeholders
- Track new platforms and shifts in the digital ad landscape before competitors do
- Coordinate with marketing, creative, and analytics so execution doesn't fall apart at the seams
- Keep procurement activity within legal and regulatory bounds
What you need to bring
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree (minimum requirement).
Experience:
3 years minimum in online media procurement, media planning, or something close to it.
- Real, working knowledge of programmatic buying, social ad platforms, and search marketing — not just familiarity from a course
- Negotiation chops. You should be comfortable pushing back on a vendor's first offer
- Experience with tools like Google Analytics or SEMrush, used regularly, not once
- The ability to look at a data dump and pull out what actually matters
- Solid written communication, since a lot of client updates happen over email or Slack, not on calls
- A track record of juggling several campaigns without dropping one
Bonus points for
- A certification or advanced degree in media management or digital marketing
- Agency experience handling multi-channel budgets
- Some exposure to connected TV or retail media networks
- Comfort presenting numbers directly to clients, not just to your own team
Pay and benefits
The salary for this role is $75,000 a year. On top of that:
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off plus company holidays
- Bonus tied to how well your campaigns and accounts perform
- Budget for certifications and other professional development
- Fully remote, with some flexibility around your hours as long as core collaboration windows work

How the team works
You won't be procuring media in a vacuum. Marketing and creative will want your read on what's realistic given the budget, and analytics will help you figure out whether a strategy is actually paying off. Clients don't want vague reassurance — they want specifics. So does this team.
