Assistant Media Director / Project Coordinator
We are seeking an energetic, highly organized Assistant Media Director / Project Coordinator to support the leadership and operations of our media department. This position is designed for someone who wants to learn, and eventually master, every facet of modern political media buying and campaign strategy.
You’ll play a hands-on role connecting strategy, finance, and execution, working directly with our Media Director to oversee linear (TV, radio, cable) and programmatic (digital, CTV, OTT) advertising operations. This role is perfect for a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes initiative, and enjoys solving problems before they’re assigned.
If you’re a “go-getter” who loves keeping people organized, asking smart questions, and making sure things get done, this is the opportunity to build a career in political strategy from the inside out. Primary Responsibilities
- Cross-Channel Coordination: Oversee and integrate programmatic and traditional media planning to ensure cohesive, goal-driven strategy execution.
- Campaign Planning & Finance Oversight: Support the Media Director in ensuring all media budgets are properly allocated, tracked, and spent in accordance with client plans and timelines.
- Strategic Deliverables: Assist in developing and delivering measurable, data-informed media plans to internal strategists and external clients.
- Operational Excellence: Maintain tight control over departmental workflows, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and accountability across all planning, placement, and reporting systems.
- Communication Bridge: Foster clear, consistent communication between buyers, analysts, strategists, and the operations and finance teams.
- Project Management: Upload new projects into the agency’s project management tool, track progress, and ensure deadlines and budgets are met.
- Expedite Requests: Act as a catalyst between strategists, buyers, and analysts, helping to prioritize, clarify, and complete time-sensitive tasks such as rate requests, traffic changes, media analyses, and placement adjustments.
- Media Support: Step in as needed to assemble schedules, process placements, or assist buyers during peak workload periods.
- Leadership Development: Manage and mentor analysts or junior team members, reinforcing standards of accuracy, professionalism, and curiosity.
- Strategic Growth: Learn the fundamentals of campaign strategy, budget management, and client service, with the goal of becoming a future media strategist or director.
- Innovation & Improvement: Champion new tools, workflow enhancements, and cross-department collaboration to strengthen the agency’s competitive advantage.
- Business Development: Utilize growing strategy experience to assist in developing client relationships and contributing to agency growth initiatives.
- A mix of relevant work experience or a bachelor’s degree in communications, Business, Economics, Marketing, Political Science, or a related.
- Strong writing and quantitative analysis skills.
- Proficiency in Microsoft excel and google sheets.
- Exceptionally strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Proactive communicator who can keep multiple moving parts aligned across teams.
- Ability to prioritize, multitask, and meet deadlines in a high-intensity environment.
- Basic understanding of (or interest in learning) advertising, marketing, or campaign strategy.
- Experience with project management tools (Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, etc.) is a plus.
- Positive, professional, and unflappable attitude, a true “get-it-done” personality.
You’ll work inside one of the most successful political media agencies in the world — collaborating with strategists to shape campaign communication that shapes the future of our government.
This is a growth-track position offering mentorship, exposure to live campaigns, and the opportunity to build a foundation in political media strategy.
