Media Coordinator

Summary Gaia is looking for an experienced Media Coordinator who thrives in a fast‑paced agency environment and understands the balance between strategic thinking and flawless execution. In this role, you will serve as the bridge between media strategy and day‑to‑day activation — owning implementation, financial control, trafficking accuracy, and vendor coordination across online and offline channels. You’ll partner closely with planning, finance, and creative teams to ensure campaigns launch accurately, pace effectively, reconcile cleanly, and deliver against KPIs. This is an ideal opportunity for a current agency Media Coordinator who enjoys being hands‑on in platforms, detail‑oriented with billing, and proactive in identifying optimization and process improvements.

While technical skills matter, we highly value those who build positive relationships, contribute to a supportive culture, and approach challenges with a solution‑oriented mindset. If this sounds like you, you’ll thrive in our dynamic environment. Must be able to work on campus in Louisville, CO. US citizenship or an existing work visa is required.
