You will be working in Excel and PowerPoint as well as other software platforms where data is housed and manipulated. You will collaborate with media planners and buyers to inform and understand campaign KPIs and ensure goals are being met along the way.

This role has a tremendous opportunity for growth. The right candidate will have no problem with fast-track opportunities within the organization.
