About the job
Replit is seeking a Media Manager to lead its paid media investments across TV, CTV, online video, out-of-home, audio, social, and search. This role is responsible for owning the media program, directing external agencies, managing the budget, and ensuring accountability for reaching target audiences effectively. The Media Manager will act as a key liaison between brand and growth teams and agency partners, focusing on strategy, planning, and performance analysis rather than hands-on activation. This position is ideal for individuals with a strong media planning background, who can critically evaluate media plans and drive strategic decisions from a brand-side perspective.

- Review and challenge agency media plan recommendations across all channels.
- Own media budget pacing, forecasting, authorizations, and reconciliation.
- Lead annual, quarterly, and campaign-level media planning.
- Define campaign KPIs and measurement frameworks, and drive a test-and-learn agenda.
- Distill campaign and channel performance into clear recommendations for leadership.
- Partner with Brand, Growth, Creative, Product Marketing, Social, and Comms teams to ensure media plans align with broader marketing efforts.
Requirements
- 5+ years of media planning and strategy experience, either brand-side or agency-side.
- Demonstrated experience independently reviewing and challenging agency media plans.
- Experience managing multi-million dollar media budgets across concurrent campaigns.
- Fluency across the full channel landscape including TV/CTV, online video, OOH, audio, paid social, search, and programmatic.
- Strong command of media measurement concepts like reach and frequency, brand lift, incrementality testing, and marketing mix modeling.
- Sharp analytical skills with the ability to work from raw campaign data to identify trends and inefficiencies.
- Strong stakeholder management skills across Finance, Analytics, Creative, and agency teams.
- Actively using AI tools to enhance analysis, reporting, and planning.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and at speed, making smart decisions independently.
