Your strategic vision and execution prowess will bring cutting-edge transportation solutions to consumers, transforming how people move.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end strategy and activation of integrated media campaigns spanning paid social, video, audio, display, out-of-home, search, experiential, and influencer marketing, supporting market launches and ongoing growth.
• Manage day-to-day relationships with media agency partners, overseeing media strategy, investment, and reporting to ensure campaigns align with business objectives, launch timelines, and media efficiencies.
• Partner closely with internal marketing and analytics teams, as well as external media and creative agencies, to ensure media plans reflect overall go-to-market strategies and creative requirements.
• Track cross-channel performance metrics against business and marketing KPIs, proactively reallocating spend and creative assets based on real-time performance.
• Manage multi-million dollar media budgets, ensuring maximum ROI, precise delivery tracking, and monthly reconciliation across active markets.

• 6-8 years of experience managing and scaling integrated, full-funnel media campaigns with multi-million dollar budgets, either in-house at a technology, mobility, automotive, or consumer brand, or at a leading media agency (heavy preference for agency background).
• Proven experience driving strategy and execution across complex media plans, holding external partners accountable to tight go-to-market timelines, and balancing shifting business priorities without sacrificing execution quality.
• Deep familiarity across the modern media stack, including programmatic display/video, CTV/OTT, paid social platforms (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), audio, linear, search, and high-impact out-of-home.
• Comfortable working with media measurement frameworks (e.g., MMM, MTA, brand lift studies, incremental lift testing) and partnering with data science teams to prove media ROI.
• Strong analytical thinking paired with sharp creative instincts.
• Highly motivated and proactive, capable of operating with high autonomy in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated strategic thinking, collaborative spirit, strong sense of responsibility, and perseverance.
