Supervisor, Precision

The Precision team is Zenith’s in-house hands-on-keyboard programmatic buying group. Precision services all clients across the Zenith agency and works very closely with the over-arching Strategy and Digital Investment departments. They are a highly specialized team that is passionate about programmatic strategy and the ever-evolving digital landscape (particularly as it relates to new ad tech and new types of data collection). They also are internal advocates within the agency pushing other departments to leverage programmatic data to mine new audience insights than might inform or support broader marketing strategies.  

The Supervisor oversees the development and execution of programmatic 
campaigns across multiple channels within Zenith’s Precision team. 
They must possess a strong inner drive to redesign the digital media landscape, 
enjoy working with some of the finest minds in the industry, and truly desire to 
contribute to a unique team of industry thought leaders. 

The Supervisor will possess the technical skills to flawlessly execute high-profile 
programmatic campaigns, employ best practices, and as the direct supervisor of 
junior-level programmatic buyers provide constructive critiques about campaign 
design in order to exceed client objectives. The Supervisor owns planning activities 
for complex or large-spend campaigns, and is responsible for generating insights 
while driving learnings across the full suite of the client’s digital activities. 

As the day-to-day point of contact for Strategy and Activation colleagues within Zenith, 
they own the development of programmatic education for clients, internal and external 
status documentation, and facilitates discussion during client meetings when strategy or 
campaign insights are being presented. 

Alongside the Associate Director, the Supervisor will be tasked with innovative thought 
leadership around audience strategies, channel adoption, data applications, and campaign
