About the Role:
Media Mogul is seeking a Senior Media Operations Manager to join our growing team. This hybrid position is based in Chicago or New York (preferred).
As a Senior Media Operations Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in the strategic planning, day-to-day management, and performance of client media campaigns across a variety of industries. Reporting to the VP of Media, you’ll serve as a key partner in driving campaign success — taking ownership of major workstreams, managing day-to-day execution, and ensuring that campaigns deliver on client objectives.
This is a highly hands-on role where you’ll work directly in the platforms — trafficking, monitoring, and optimizing campaigns — while also contributing to broader media strategies, insights, and client communications. You’ll collaborate closely with Data Analytics & Product, Business Development, Media Operations, and Finance to ensure every campaign runs smoothly and meets performance goals.
The ideal candidate is equal parts strategic and tactical: someone who thrives in the details, takes initiative, and can confidently support both internal teams and clients with thoughtful, data-informed recommendations.

Oversee and manage campaign builds, trafficking, optimizations, and performance analysis to ensure flawless execution and delivery against KPIs.
Provide ongoing campaign reporting and measurement across online and offline channels, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and actionable insights.
Leverage expert-level proficiency across major media platforms including Programmatic DSPs, Google Analytics, Social (Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, etc.), Search (Google Ads/Bing), Video (YouTube), Connected TV, Digital Out-of-Home (Vistar/AdQuick), and 3rd party ad servers to drive campaign performance.
Who You Are:
Experience, Education & Certification:
A proactive, visionary leader who drives strategy, inspires teams, and ensures campaigns deliver measurable impact.
Leads by example—guides and mentors team members, providing strategic input while remaining hands-on in campaign planning, execution, and optimization.
Experienced in media planning, buying, and performance reporting, with the ability to recommend actionable insights and improvements.
Client, Interpersonal & New Business Skills
Exceptional communicator and relationship-builder, able to influence and collaborate with clients, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams at all levels.
Skilled at managing multiple accounts, priorities, and deliverables, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and timelines.
Proactive, confident, and adaptable; thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic agency environment while maintaining a positive “can-do” attitude.
Passionate about media, advertising, and industry innovation, and staying ahead of trends to deliver competitive advantage for clients.
Experienced in supporting new business initiatives, contributing to pitches, proposals, and identifying opportunities for account growth and expansion.
Technical & Operational Expertise
Hands-on experience with social media ad platforms, programmatic DSPs, media management systems, and other industry tools.
Proficient in campaign tracking, pixel implementation, creative trafficking, and cross-channel optimization.
Skilled in performance measurement and reporting across digital and traditional channels, including programmatic, search, social, video, CTV, native, DOOH, and more.
