Job description

Interested in building and leading an Ad Operations function from the ground up within a fast-growing healthcare technology company?

We're partnered with a 2026 funded Series A Healthtech company focused on accelerating the process of bringing new medication or medical devices to market. They are entering its next stage of growth and looking for an experienced media leader to take ownership of a critical new function.

You’ll have the opportunity to define how media operations are run as the business scales, combining hands‑on campaign execution with strategy, process building, and close collaboration across technical and commercial teams.

This is an opportunity to join early, have significant ownership from day one, and build rather than inherit an established function.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Own media strategy and execution across digital channels for pharmaceutical clients
• Remain hands‑on across programmatic campaign setup, buying, activation, optimization, and reporting
• Develop media approaches across both HCP and consumer‑facing pharmaceutical campaigns
• Build scalable processes and workflows to support a growing portfolio of customers and campaigns
• Establish strong quality control processes across campaign setup and execution
• Develop approaches for measuring campaign effectiveness and translating performance data into actionable insights
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to improve the technology, tooling, and processes supporting media delivery
• Work directly with pharmaceutical stakeholders, providing strategic guidance across campaign planning and performance
• Help build and develop the wider media operations function as the company grows

What They're Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience across digital media strategy, planning, and buying, with strong exposure to healthcare or pharmaceutical advertising
• Hands‑on programmatic media buying experience and confidence working directly within major buying platforms
• Strong understanding of both HCP and consumer pharmaceutical media campaigns
• Experience with healthcare‑specific targeting, campaign measurement, and performance analysis
• Understanding of the regulatory and compliance considerations involved in pharmaceutical advertising
• Experience working cross‑functionally with technical, product, data, or engineering teams
• Strong client‑facing communication skills and confidence working with pharmaceutical marketing stakeholders
• Experience mentoring others or contributing to the growth of a media function
• Comfortable combining strategic leadership with hands‑on execution in a fast‑moving environment

Why Join?

• Opportunity to build and shape a critical function within a rapidly growing healthcare technology company
• Significant ownership and exposure to senior leadership from day one
• Combine hands‑on media expertise with the opportunity to influence technology and product development
• Work directly with major pharmaceutical organizations across complex digital campaigns
• Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and strong long‑term career progression
• Work at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and digital media
