Why This Role Exists
Good media buyers can run ads.
Great media buyers build systems that other buyers can trust.

At Black Hat Strategy, we operate in complex, restricted advertising environments. That means performance doesn’t come from tricks or hustle. It comes from discipline, judgment, and consistency.

We’re hiring a Lead Media Buyer to guide our buying team, set the standard for how performance decisions are made, and ensure our media buyers operate as one calm, confident unit, not five different styles pulling in different directions.

This is not about ego.
This is about stewardship.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing
You won’t just manage accounts.

Act as the first checkpoint when performance feels “off”, before it becomes a crisis
