Media Buyer
Use your powers for good as a Media Buyer focused on behavior change for Marketing for Change, a national research and creative firm propelled by behavioral science and focused on social change.
We’re looking for a media professional who understands that buying media isn’t just about impressions, it’s about impact. In this role, you’ll lead and support the strategy, planning, and execution of paid media campaigns that help good causes do even better. You’ll collaborate closely with our internal teams and clients to ensure media is placed with purpose, backed by data, and optimized for influence. You’ll also help mentor junior media staff, communicate directly with clients, and shape media strategies that are both creative and cost-effective.
The ideal candidate brings a strategic mindset and the curiosity to keep up with a rapidly changing media landscape. You are comfortable negotiating with vendors, keeping multiple projects on track, and translating KPIs into compelling narratives that show the value of our work.
Job Type: Full-time
Salary Range: Salary will be commensurate with experience, with an expected range between $50,000 - $60,000 per year.
About Marketing For Change
We are a research and creative agency that leverages the power of social psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics to understand, influence and evaluate why beliefs, attitudes and behaviors change to advance social causes. Founded in 2005, Marketing for Change helps foundations, nonprofits, governments and companies “do good better.” Our 30-plus team includes copywriters, filmmakers, designers, researchers, developers and strategists — not to mention musicians, artists, podcasters, kayakers, and mountaineers. Because that part of life is just as important as work. Our work hubs are located in Orlando and just outside Washington, DC, and we very much prefer to hire people willing to locate in those areas. We are mostly a hybrid workforce with staff working together in-person at least one day a week because we value the fun and collaboration that allows.
Minimum Qualifications
Marketing for Change is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We believe staff diversity enhances our work. We consider applicants regardless of race, religion, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, veteran status, or disability.
