About the Role

PMG is seeking a Principal in Integrated Media to serve as a senior subject-matter expert and trusted advisor. This role involves tackling ambiguous media challenges, influencing executive-level decisions, advancing Programmatic innovation, and elevating the strategic capabilities of teams. It's an opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with enterprise-level thinking to shape how clients and PMG approach the future of media.

Responsibilities

Lead integrated media strategy for large, complex accounts, with deep ownership of Programmatic and expertise spanning CTV, OTT, online video, YouTube, brand media, and local and national media buying.
Translate complex business objectives into actionable media strategies, investment frameworks, audience approaches, channel recommendations, and testing roadmaps, clearly articulating tradeoffs and expected business impact.
Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior and C-suite client stakeholders, bringing an informed point of view to media opportunities, investment decisions, performance, innovation, and evolving marketplace dynamics.
Develop sophisticated audience and customer acquisition strategies that apply first-, second-, and third-party data to improve audience identification, activation, growth, and media effectiveness.
Lead localized and geo-targeted media strategies that connect national objectives with market-level opportunities, creating scalable approaches to investment, activation, testing, and measurement.
Establish measurement strategies that connect media activity to business outcomes, guiding the application of attribution, experimentation, CAPI, incrementality, and other evolving measurement capabilities.
Shape Programmatic and brand media roadmaps, identifying opportunities to evolve channel strategy, audience activation, supply and partner strategy, measurement, and investment approaches.
Establish test-and-learn agendas with media and technology partners, evaluating emerging capabilities, beta opportunities, and marketplace developments based on their potential to create meaningful client value.
Evaluate platforms, publishers, inventory, and media partners through the lens of strategic fit, economics, transparency, measurement, execution quality, and long-term business value.
Partner across regions and disciplines to establish scalable operating models, shared strategic principles, execution standards, and quality assurance while accounting for market-specific needs.
Provide strategic oversight of reporting and performance analysis, identifying meaningful trends, risks, and opportunities and translating them into clear recommendations for senior client and internal stakeholders.
Mentor and influence media practitioners across teams, developing strategic judgment, strengthening Programmatic expertise, and raising the quality of integrated planning and execution without relying on direct reporting relationships.
Use AI, automation, and PMG technology to improve strategic decision-making, accelerate insight generation, strengthen quality assurance, and create more effective and scalable ways of working.

Advanced knowledge of audience strategy, with experience applying first-, second-, and third-party data to audience development, activation, acquisition, and growth.

Experience developing localized and geo-targeted media strategies that balance market-level opportunities with broader national or global objectives.
Proven ability to advise and influence senior and C-suite stakeholders, translating complex media concepts, data, performance signals, and marketplace developments into clear decisions and strategic recommendations.
Strong judgment when navigating ambiguous or incomplete information, with the ability to evaluate competing priorities, articulate tradeoffs, and establish a clear path forward.
