Assistant Media Planner

Obsessed Media is an independent media group focused on helping our clients dramatically improve the impact of their media through smarter plans, sharper strategy, creativity, and measurable results. We’re looking for an Assistant Planner who’s ready to dive into the details, learn fast, and help us keep raising the bar.

In this role, you’ll be embedded in the work from day one, working closely with our team to build plans, track results, and help us bring strategy to life across clients, industries, and channels. You’ll get hands-on experience in planning, project management, and execution, with guidance and opportunities to grow quickly.

What You’ll Do

Account & Project Management

• Keep our accounts running smoothly: regular status updates, project timelines, budget tracking, billing follow-ups, flowchart updates, and category/competitive monitoring
• Partner with senior team members to develop research critical to strategies and media POVs
• Keep projects organized, documents current, and communication clear

New Business Support

• Research prospective clients and categories; turn insights into quick-hit profiles
• Compile case studies and campaign results for pitches and creds decks
• Format and polish presentations so our ideas land with impact

Media Planning & Execution

• Coordinate with media vendors to gather proposals, confirm specs, and update plans
• Prepare insertion orders, monitor pacing, and flag delivery issues before they become problems
• Use syndicated tools and competitive intel to research vendors, assess audience fit, and surface trends worth acting on
• Track live campaigns for accuracy and negotiate make-goods when needed

Who You Are

• A fast mover who enjoys learning new skills (and putting them to work fast)
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days (or clients) are exactly alike
• Willing to try new things, venture into new territories, make smart mistakes, and figure it out better the next time
• Knows how to juggle multiple projects and clients without dropping the details
• Has a thing for spreadsheets (both for keeping organized and doing the math)
• Builds strong relationships with teammates, clients, and vendors
• Spots the small stuff others miss

Salary

$23 - $25 / hr with eligibility for overtime per FLSA
