Digital Media Director

POSITION OVERVIEW: You're a Digital Media Director who loves the strategy behind the plan as much as the results it delivers.

You see the whole board – paid search, programmatic, social, audio and CTV. You understand not just what each channel does, but how they work together to move a brand forward. You're as comfortable building a plan from scratch as you are defending it in a client meeting, and you know the difference between a tactic that looks good on a flowchart and one that actually delivers.

As Digital Media Director, you'll lead planning and execution of media buys across a portfolio of clients – managing budgets, building plan decks and flowcharts, overseeing buy authorizations, and delivering reporting that tells a clear story. You'll mentor junior media team members, helping them grow and contribute at every stage. Success is measured by campaign performance, client outcomes and team advancements.

If you're a strategic media thinker ready to do the best work of your career, Shine is your next chapter.
