Job description

Who We Are:

Winning today isn’t about spending more; it’s about knowing more, understanding more, and acting faster.

Mogul & Co is The Media Intelligence Company, a managed service media buying and analytics agency that combines predictive technology, advanced analytics, and high-performance media execution to answer one critical question: How does every $1 in media create the next $10 in revenue and business growth?

We break down silos to deliver end-to-end strategy, turning data into action, and focusing on outcomes over activity. Every campaign is an opportunity to learn, optimize, and drive stronger results for our clients and for each other. We are entering a pivotal phase of growth, scaling rapidly with strong momentum. Our leadership brings together two worlds:

• Silicon Valley operators who have built cutting-edge AI, automation, and data platforms

• Fortune 500 and agency executives with experience managing global P&Ls and billions in media investment

This combination shapes how we operate: focused, precise, data-driven, and relentlessly oriented toward performance and long-term value creation. At our core, our values define how we show up every day:

• Excellence – Own it. Deliver. Always aim higher.

• Integrity – Do right by clients, colleagues, and the work — especially when no one's watching.

• Courage – Challenge the norm. Say the hard thing. Never settle.

• Conviction – Commit fully. Back your work. See it through.
