Description

PROGRAMMATIC AND SEARCH BUYER
At Cactus, we’re not really the bragging type – we like to let our work do the talking. But, we love to brag about our in-house media group. Lately this team has been on a roll, growing rapidly in both sophistication and in size, and we’re continuing to add new in-house offerings and take on new client partners. We’re looking for a Programmatic and Search Buyer to join our crew and help us take our digital media offering to the next level. This is a full-time position that we are looking to fill immediately.

Our Media team is structured around Client-Leads, overseeing all media planning and buying activities for their specific book of business, and working closely with our Subject Matter Expert teams to develop recommendations, implement, optimize and report on media performance. This role fits into that Subject Matter Expert category – with a focus on developing and executing audience-centric programmatic and search campaigns in-platform, managing budgets and tracking KPIs, all with the goal of driving returns for our clients and improving our execution. The ideal candidate for this role will have a strong passion for programmatic media and paid search as it relates to analysis and driving performance.
