Translate creative briefs into actionable steps, plans, budgets, and timelines across channels and teams.
Estimate work accurately for the paid media team and other creative processes-projecting hours and a clear sense of lift from other disciplines.
8+ years of experience leading paid media campaigns and creative production processes of varying sizes and budgets, ideally including political or advocacy work.
You have an expert understanding of paid media strategy, planning, and execution, paired with strong fluency in creative development and production workflows.

Company info

As part of the Paid Media team, you'll work closely with a cross-disciplinary group of Blue State employees who are passionate, geeky, and care about their clients and causes.
Blue State fosters an environment where everyone has an opportunity to shape new approaches, grow and learn from their colleagues, and take advantage of a personal development fund to stretch their skills even further.
You'll have the opportunity to work with some of the most inspiring charities, ambitious brands, and passionate advocacy and social change campaigns.
A day in the life
Drive cross-team alignment by interfacing with Blue State accounts, creative, and media teams to develop and refine creative strategy in lockstep with paid media plans and goals, facilitating creative production, delivery, and project management across teams.
Serve as a liaison to internal discipline teams to develop, document, and refine a high-functioning cross-team paid media practice at Blue State.
Lead client relationships in service of creative collaboration and development-ensuring alignment of goals, creative execution, and timelines, and escalating issues to senior team members as needed.
Train and equip teammates by facilitating onboarding and ongoing training for accounts and creative leads on best practices and processes for managing paid media accounts.
Manage projects with rigor by creating clear project plans that integrate creative and paid media goals, working closely with creative leads to manage scope and client objectives, facilitating internal and client meetings (and follow-ups), and overseeing final approval of deliverables before they reach clients.
Support team and business growth by contributing to team development, business development efforts, and case studies.
Balance priorities across multiple projects, managing your own time and others' with exemplary attention to detail and organization.
We approach in-office working with a hybrid model.
On-site presence is welcome for US staff who are within commuting distance of the NY or DC office.
Managers retain discretion to require in-person attendance for folks on their discipline or client teams as necessary, including for those whose roles require them to be in person.
The salary range for this position is $65-$85 per hour; compensation will be commensurate with experience.
Some things we're looking for
You can oversee a paid media program throughout its lifespan-from developing initial budgets and timelines in the proposal process, to aligning strategy and creative production, to reporting back to clients on optimizations and performance.
You have excellent project management chops: you create clear project plans that integrate creative and paid media goals, manage scope alongside creative leads, and facilitate internal and client meetings (and follow-ups) without dropping a thread.
You've mastered client relationship building and management in service of creative collaboration-diplomatic, solution-oriented, and able to escalate appropriately.
You communicate clearly and consistently, both in internal process documentation and in presenting learnings across an agency.
You have exemplary attention to detail and organization, balancing multiple priorities and managing your own time and others' well.
You're a thoughtful, organized teammate who isn't afraid to adapt to new situations, solve problems on the fly, and communicate proactively with those around you.
At Blue State, diversity is a necessity, not a nice-to-have.
