Job description

UTA Advisory seeks a Manager, Growth Strategy to help advertising, media and technology companies decide where to focus and how to win in their market.

AI, commerce media, streaming, social and creators are reshaping marketing faster than most companies can adjust. Buyers have more choices, attention is harder to earn, and the playbooks that worked three years ago don't anymore. UTA Advisory helps clients understand what is changing, decide where to compete, earn consideration with the buyers who matter, and turn it into revenue.

As a Manager, Growth Strategy, you run the day-to-day work that makes that happen. You own key workstreams across client engagements, lead research and analysis, and turn what you find into work clients can act on. You work alongside Directors, VPs and Principals, guide junior team members, and get real time with senior client executives.

This is a role for someone who wants to learn, work hard, be at the epicenter of the industry, and become an expert in where it is headed.

You have worked close to growth, in marketing, sales or consulting, and you want to understand what it takes for a company to earn consideration and drive revenue.

The ideal candidate brings experience driving growth in marketing, sales, or consulting and understands how to translate strategy into work that sales and marketing teams can use. You combine analytical rigor with creative storytelling, build trust with senior clients, and thrive in a collaborative environment where you help junior colleagues develop. You measure success by results, not just deliverables, and bring curiosity and a point of view on the forces shaping media, advertising, technology, and culture.

The salary range for this role is $90,000 - $100,000 commensurate with experience and skills.

What You Will Do

• Lead research and analysis on markets, companies and competitors, and turn it into clear insight
• Own key workstreams on client engagements, from early research through recommendations clients can act on

• Help shape how clients show up in market and what their sales and marketing teams use
• Manage the day to day: plans, timelines, client communication and the quality of what the team delivers
• Guide and review the work of junior team members
• Contribute to proposals, thought leadership and business development

What You Will Need

• 4 to 5 years in marketing, sales, consulting, agency, media or technology
• Strong research and analysis skills, both quantitative and qualitative
• A track record of recognizing growth opportunities and acting on them
• Fluency in media, advertising and technology, and how these companies grow
• Strong writing and presentation skills
• Strong project management, organization and attention to detail
• Advanced in all relevant tools, including AI, as part of how you work

What You Will Get

• The unique and exciting opportunity to work at one of a leading global entertainment companies
• Access to the tools, leadership, and resources you will need to create and drive a center of excellence
