Company description

Welcome to Our World. We’ve been leading the charge in the affiliate industry from day one—establishing performance marketing and paving the way for future innovations. We're known for maintaining one of the largest, most reliable partnership platforms with impeccable, personalized service.

Founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1998, CJ (formerly Commission Junction) stands as the most trusted name in performance marketing. We specialize in building partnerships between top brands and reputable publishers to drive revenue and business growth. CJ’s industry‑leading solutions make us the platform of choice for over 3,800 global brands across sectors like retail, travel, finance, technology, and home services. As part of Publicis Groupe, our savvy data capabilities, cutting‑edge tech, and strategic expertise facilitate genuine connections, allowing brands to reach consumers wherever they are.

A Quick Peek at Affiliate Marketing : Think back to your last online purchase. Did an influencer tip you off about a great product and offer a discount? Or perhaps you relied on a trusted review site to make your decision? Whatever path you took, affiliate publishers likely played a role by influencing, informing, or helping you find the best deal. CJ connects brands with these publishers, creating valuable resources for shoppers like you.

Overview

The Investment Planning Director will lead a newly formed department focused on transforming media investment strategy through innovation, system development, and thought leadership. This role is responsible for guiding a team of Investment Planning Managers and Planners in the creation and execution of high‑impact investment strategies that drive advertiser growth and operational excellence.

  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Innovation & Systems Development

  • Architect and implement scalable planning systems, workflows, and tools to support a rapidly evolving media investment landscape.
  • Lead the design and rollout of automation initiatives, including Salesforce ticketing enhancements and standardized investment packages.
  • Champion innovation in planning methodologies, including verticalized strategies and emerging channel activations (e.g., CTV, Retail Media, CLO).
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Strategy, Channel Growth, Publisher Success, and Operations to ensure seamless execution and optimization.
  • Represent the Planning function in leadership forums and cross‑departmental initiatives.
  • Drive alignment between investment planning and broader business transformation efforts.
  • Performance & Portfolio Growth

  • Monitor and report on media value growth across advertiser portfolios, targeting quarterly improvement objectives.
  • Lead quarterly planning presentations and identify and execute bespoke strategic partnerships and first‑time emerging channel activations as SME of Partnerships space.
  • Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in media investment, affiliate marketing, or eCommerce strategy.
  • Proven leadership experience managing cross‑functional teams and building new departments or functions.
  • Expertise in developing and scaling operational systems and planning frameworks.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize data into actionable insights.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
  • Familiarity with media planning tools and platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Growth OS, Smart Reach).
  • Experience with publisher negotiations and media execution workflows.
  • Additional Information

    This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days a week in office.

  • Annual recognition awards
  • Hybrid work arrangements for optimal work‑life balance
  • Parental bonding leave
  • Backup care options for children and elders
  • An employee discount program
  • International SOS program for global support
