A leadership role for those who care deeply about how work gets done--and who it serves.

KeyMedia Solutions is looking for a Digital Media & Analytics Team Leader to guide the evolution of our Ad Operations team. This role goes beyond managing campaigns--it's about building strong teams, designing thoughtful processes, and creating a delivery model that supports both client success and sustainable team growth. If you're motivated by developing people, raising the bar on quality, and shaping a better way of working, you'll find meaningful opportunity here.

You will also participate in the Leadership team, helping align priorities, capacity, and processes to company goals, supporting account health and retention, and operationalizing new service offerings as the business evolves.

You'll bring deep hands-on knowledge of digital advertising platforms, paired with people-management experience, communication and organizational skills. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys leading teams, improving processes, and ensuring work is done well and on time, while still staying close enough to the platforms to coach, review, and troubleshoot.

At KeyMedia Solutions, you'll find a collaborative, values-driven culture with opportunities to grow as a leader while making a meaningful impact on both team performance and client success.
