Department: Strategy, Media Planning

Director, Integrated Media Planning

The Director, Media Planning leads integrated, compliant, and data-driven media strategy for pharmaceutical brands across HCP and DTC/Patient

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and client leadership—owning omnichannel planning, guiding investment decisions, and ensuring media drives real business outcomes across launch and lifecycle.

  • Bring a strong point of view rooted in data, experience, and market understanding
  • Lead integrated planning across digital (programmatic, social, search, endemic) and traditional (TV, print, OOH) channels
  • Ensure media plans reflect the full patient and HCP journey, not siloed tactics

Be a Senior Client Partner-

  • Serve as a trusted advisor
  • Present media strategy with confidence, clarity, and conviction
  • Partner closely with media activation, strategy, client services, and project management teams to ensure alignment and impact
  • Set a high bar for strategic thinking, rigor, and accountability

Manage Agencies, Budgets & Performance-

  • Oversee external media partners to ensure high quality, efficient, and on strategy execution
  • Own large media budgets, optimizing investment to maximize investment spend
  • Partner with strategy and media activation teams to interpret performance and drive inflight optimization

Innovate-

  • Stay ahead of media, data, and platform evolution in pharma
  • Leverage and adopt smarter, more effective ways to reach and engage audiences

What You Bring-

  • 8+ years of media planning experience, with deep pharma expertise (HCP + DTC)
  • Strong media agency background with proven client facing leadership
  • Fluency in MLR/FDA requirements and pharma media realities
  • Expertise across digital channels, data partners and media research tools
  • Clear, confident communicator who can influence senior stakeholders
  • Bachelor’s degree required, MBA a plus

Core Strengths-

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
