Growth & New Business Contribute to new business efforts through strategic thinking, planning leadership, and client‑facing presentations. Help define Obsessed Media’s POV on modern media internally and externally. Represent Obsessed as a credible, thoughtful leader in media conversations. Who You Are An experienced, senior media thinker who can zoom out and get into the weeds when it matters. A quick and excited learner. Comfortable owning decisions and the results that come with them. Not comfortable with the status quo of media. Confident leading clients, teams, and partners without a defined playbook or pre‑developed systems. Strategic but clear, allergic to fluff and performative media jargon. Curious, opinionated, and willing to challenge assumptions (including your own). Highly organized, but not rigid. A little too obsessed with media. Reads job descriptions closely enough to notice errors. How We Work We move fast, but we don’t rush: we value being quick, but thoughtful in strategy, planning, and execution. We take ownership: we treat client budgets and agency capital as if it were our own. We keep it human: we are a low‑ego team that knows how to keep work fun. If you’re excited to run point on high‑profile campaigns, be a part of a fast‑growing agency, manage projects from start to finish, and help us keep making media better, we’d love to meet you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
