[Hiring] Senior Manager Media Strategy @PrescriberPoint

Role Description

Hello! Please give this job description a thorough perusal before you decide to apply. There are glittering aspects that will immediately knock you out of contention and we don’t like raising hopes unnecessarily. Please refer to the Requirements and What Makes You Shine sections below for details.

100% remote and must be performed in the States. Cover letters are welcomed, appreciated, and reviewed (by a human). Sadly, we can't facilitate visas.

PrescriberPoint runs paid media for pharmaceutical clients and for our own marketing. We need someone who can own the media strategy function — channel mix, audience architecture, budget ownership, vendor relationships, and performance frameworks — while managing the marketing team that executes paid media and lifecycle campaigns.

That said, we're a lean startup. You'll also roll up your sleeves and build campaigns yourself when the team is at capacity or speed matters. This isn't a "strategy only" role — you need the hands-on chops to execute what you plan.

You'll split your time between client campaigns and internal initiatives — product marketing, corporate awareness, ABM for brand sales, and institutional sales targeting health systems. The mix will shift based on business priorities.

What You'll Own

• Media Strategy & Planning
  • Develop channel strategies for client and internal campaigns — which platforms, what mix, how budget should flow
  • Build audience targeting frameworks that align with campaign goals across HCPs, pharma brand teams, and health system buyers
  • Create media plans with clear KPIs, pacing recommendations, and measurement approaches
  • Own media budget recommendations and be accountable for spend efficiency across campaigns
  • Translate briefs into actionable media strategies the execution team can build
  • Work with cross-functional partners on internal initiatives — product GTM, corporate awareness, ABM for brand sales, and institutional sales targeting health systems
  • Test new channels and approaches on internal campaigns before recommending them to clients
  • Jump into campaign builds when needed — you're not above getting your hands dirty in-platform
• Media Operations & Vendor Management
  • Own DSP and platform relationships — negotiate rates, evaluate new vendors, manage partnership health
  • Build and maintain the media strategy playbook — methodologies, templates, and standards the team operates from
  • Establish channel selection criteria and budget allocation frameworks that scale across clients
  • Stay current on platform capabilities and healthcare media landscape to inform strategic recommendations
• Performance & Optimization Frameworks
  • Define success metrics and reporting frameworks for campaigns
  • Identify underperforming campaigns and recommend strategic pivots (not just tactical tweaks)
  • Build benchmarks and performance standards across channels and verticals
  • Partner with Value Engineering on QBR prep, ROI models, and client performance narratives
  • Advise on media feasibility during client pitches, scoping conversations, and RFPs
• Team Management
  • Manage the engagement and media execution team — prioritize workload, provide feedback, develop skills
  • Ensure quality and consistency across campaign builds and lifecycle programs through reviews and coaching
  • Create clear handoff processes between strategy and execution

What Success Looks Like

• At 30 days:
  • Understand current client roster, active campaigns, and platform mix
  • Assess team workflows, strengths, and development areas across paid media and lifecycle
  • Review historical performance data; identify 2-3 strategic opportunities
• At 90 days:
  • Own media strategy development for client and internal campaigns
  • Establish standard media planning templates and handoff processes
  • Build working relationships with key DSP/vendor contacts
  • Deliver strategic recommendations that measurably shift campaign performance
• At 6 months:
  • Recognized internally as the go-to for "how should we approach this media-wise?"
  • Built performance benchmarks by channel and client vertical
  • Documented the media strategy playbook the team operates from
  • Shaped the media strategy for at least one major internal initiative (product GTM, brand sales ABM, or institutional sales)

Qualifications

• 10+ years in paid media with significant time in strategy-focused roles
• Experience managing a marketing or media team
• Healthcare media experience — HCP targeting, NPI matching, health system/IDN outreach, compliance constraints
• Hands-on proficiency with programmatic platforms (StackAdapt, PulsePoint, Lasso, The Trade Desk, or similar)
• Experience managing DSP/vendor relationships and negotiating rates
• Strong analytical skills and opinions on measurement and attribution
• Ability to translate complex media concepts for non-media stakeholders
• Proficiency with AI tools to accelerate strategy development, analysis, and reporting

What Makes You Shine!

• Agency experience, particularly in pharma/life sciences
• Experience with ABM platforms and strategies
• Familiarity with HubSpot or similar marketing automation platforms

Tools

• Programmatic/DSPs: StackAdapt, PulsePoint, Lasso, Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn Campaign Manager
• Analytics: Google Analytics, platform-native reporting
• Planning & Project Management: Google Sheets, Jira
• Marketing Automation: HubSpot

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $135,000 - $150,000 based on location and experience. There is a bonus and options.

Benefits

• 401(k) w/matching
• All kinds of insurance

• HSA/FSA options (we cover the entire deductible for the former)
• Log on from wherever
• Open PTO (which leaders use!)
