SUMMARY

We are looking for a smart, experienced, and motivated Media Coordinator to join our Columbus team.

The Media Coordinator is responsible for assisting in the day-to-day stewardship of media campaigns on key accounts. This person supports the Media Planning team in the planning, buying, campaign execution/optimizations, and budget management for traditional and digital media programs.

This is a hybrid work-from-home/office position (in-office attendance is required on Tuesdays & Thursdays) and the candidate must live near Columbus, OH.

At The Shipyard, we know that it's your unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that make you who you are, just like our team, who come from various career paths and experiences. We believe we can't be truly diverse without bringing your most authentic self to the agency.

Studies show that people from marginalized communities may not always apply for positions if they don't meet every single requirement in a job posting. At The Shipyard, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all the requirements. We believe that your passion for what we stand for — our values and purpose — is just as important as meeting every checkbox.
