Brand Media Manager

The Elastic brand is approachable, optimistic, and unconventional - like our team members! We like to try new things, brainstorm exciting ideas, and push the boundaries of what is considered B2B marketing. That said, we have a foundation to build and understand the importance of doing it right to build up to the fun stuff. Are you ready to join us?

What Is The Role:

We’re looking for a strategic Brand Media Manager to lead and implement our paid media efforts across brand programs. This person will play a meaningful role in bringing our brand to life across channels, leading agency partnerships, and ensuring our media strategies are aligned with both long-term brand goals and near-term campaign needs.

You’ll partner closely with agencies, internal teams, and cross-functional collaborators to deliver cohesive, effective media strategies that perform. This is a fast paced team, often working in short sprints vs long term cycles.

This role is an excellent way to gain experience in multiple marketing fields! The team collaboration opens opportunities for trying new styles, subject areas, and developing new strengths.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Lead Agency Management: Be responsible for the day-to-day relationship with media agencies, ensuring alignment on strategy, performance, and budget.


• Campaign Project Management: Drive timelines and coordination to ensure content and creative assets are delivered on time for all media campaigns.


• Thought Leadership and Corporate Awareness Strategy: Work with the brand team, brand agency, and media agencies to create and deliver media programs supporting corporate marketing goals. This includes in the US and international markets.


• Hiring Campaign Strategy: Develop and implement paid media strategies to support recruiting and employer brand initiatives.


• Optimize & Communicate: Monitor media performance, oversee optimizations, and translate insights into actionable recommendations.


• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the key brand media liaison to demand generation, field marketing, and events teams, ensuring media plans are well-integrated across all go-to-market efforts.

What You Will Bring:

• Proven ability in media planning and execution, preferably within a brand marketing team or agency.


• Experience running campaigns or activations across multiple channels (digital, social, publisher direct, programmatic, OOH, etc.).


• Strong project management skills with the ability to balance multiple campaigns and shifting priorities.


• Experience with media analytics tools and reporting dashboards.


• Passion for storytelling, creativity, and making data-informed decisions.

Bonus Points

• Experience with employer brand or talent acquisition marketing.


• Knowledge of traditional B2B media strategies.


• Familiarity with performance marketing or demand generation principles.
