Job description

Join to apply for the Vice President of Paid Media role at Envisionit .

At Envisionit, the Vice President of Paid Media is more than a media expert — they are a strategic leader who ensures our media discipline drives growth for clients and for the agency. In this executive role, you’ll shape the vision and day‑to‑day leadership of our media department, connecting strategy to execution, and ensuring our teams and clients are aligned on paid media performance expectations and the path to success.

This role requires equal parts strategist, operator, and coach : someone who can set a strong direction, elevate the work, and grow the talent around them. You’ll partner across departments to ensure media integrates seamlessly into campaigns, while also keeping a sharp eye on emerging opportunities that help us stay ahead.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead omnichannel strategy : develop and guide integrated media strategies that align to client objectives, using data, audience insights, and research to inform recommendations.
  • Be the final word on forecasts and program performance : ensure Media Directors are supported in proactively developing channel strategies, performance forecasts, optimization strategies, and media insights for reporting.
  • Elevate the team : mentor and inspire a growing group of media professionals, building career paths and fostering collaboration across the agency.
  • Steward key accounts : act as a senior advisor to clients, driving high‑level planning, performance reviews, and test‑and‑learn recommendations.
  • Champion innovation : stay ahead of shifts in platforms, tools, and consumer behavior to identify opportunities to use technology to give our clients an edge.
  • Ensure integration : partner with account, creative, strategy, and analytics teams so media work is tightly connected to broader campaigns.
  • Drive agency growth : contribute to new business opportunities through pitch strategy, media planning, and client presentations.
  • Build partnerships : maintain strong relationships with vendors, platforms, and tech partners that add value for our clients.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of media experience, with at least 3–5 years in senior leadership at an agency or similar environment.
  • Proven expertise across paid media channels (digital, social, search, programmatic, and traditional).
  • Strong grasp of media analytics, attribution models, and martech platforms.
  • A leadership style that balances accountability with inspiration — you set high standards, and you help people rise to them.
  • Demonstrated ability to present to executives and lead large‑scale client engagements.
  • A track record of scaling teams and building strong operational foundations.
  • Active involvement in industry organizations, thought leadership, or speaking engagements.
  • Bonus points for experience with e‑commerce, performance‑driven media, or high‑growth verticals.
  • What’s in it for you

  • Flexibility — We strive to support our employees and understand that life is complex with a lot of moving parts. We offer a hybrid environment, generous PTO, summer Fridays, and floating holidays beyond the standard.
  • Growth opportunities — Every employee has regular check‑ins with managers to discuss priorities and goal progress, peer feedback and a framework to share career goals and passions. Many people on our leadership team have grown through the ranks of the agency.
  • Transparency — We have an open door policy, regular agency meetings, and public / anonymous forums that allow you to share your thoughts and ideas.
  • Commitment to company culture — We have a recognition system that is employee‑led, a diversity and inclusion committee, monthly events to bring employees together, and even weekly happy hours.
  • Commitment to serve — We offer every employee a paid day off each year to volunteer for a cause they are passionate about and then give them the opportunity to share this cause with the rest of the company.
  • Perks, Salary & Benefits

    The salary range for this position is $160,000 – $185,000 USD. This is a good‑faith estimate of the base pay scale for this position and any potential offers will ultimately be determined based on experience, education, skill set, and performance in the interview process.

    Our benefits include :

  • A hybrid office model, with the option to WFH 2+ days / week.
  • A minimum of 20 days off yearly + 12 company holidays + summer hours.
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability Insurance.
  • Employer‑matched 401(k).
  • Transit benefits, corporate discount programs, free fitness center membership.
  • Career pathing, dedicated budget toward opportunities for professional growth.
  • A culture focused on collaboration, curiosity & support, with regular events, volunteerism, and an employee‑led recognition program.
  • Envisionit is an Equal Opportunity Employer and our employees are people with diverse strengths, experiences and backgrounds, who share a passion for the work we do. Diversity not only includes race and gender identity, but also age, disability status, veteran status, sexual orientation, religion and many other parts of one’s identity. All of our employee’s points of view are key to our success, and inclusion is everyone's responsibility.
