🥝 Senior Media Manager - Paid Media & Performance

Barkley&Co. | New York County, New York, United States | Posted May 16, 2026

Job Description

The Challenge

Most agencies staff senior roles with people who are good at managing up and delegating down. We need someone who's good at the actual work. Our clients need a strategist who can build the plan, defend it to a skeptical CMO, and optimize it when reality doesn't match the forecast. You'll own accounts end-to-end with real P&L accountability—not "support" them from the sidelines.




What You'll Own

  • Full P&L accountability for 4-6 accounts

  • Strategic media planning: channel mix, budget allocation, testing roadmaps

  • Direct client relationships—you're the face of performance for your accounts

  • Mentorship of Media Coordinators and Specialists on your accounts

  • Identifying scaling opportunities and when to pump the brakes

  • Complex problem-solving: when attribution breaks, compliance flags campaigns, or performance craters—you fix it
