## Job description

## Why You’ll Never Want to Leave

Respect People. Produce Results.

For more than 35 years, we’ve built a reputation for both the work we do and how we do it.

Respect shows up in how we work together and with our clients. It means trusting people to do their jobs, giving them the space to do it well, and holding each other to a high standard. Because when people are respected, they do better work, work that grows businesses, shapes culture, and builds relationships that last. And just as important, they have the support to build a career and a life worth investing in.

## About the Role

RPA is seeking an experienced Freelance Media Supervisor to support our Client Orchestration team across a variety of accounts and projects.

This role is ideal for a media professional with strong experience in broadcast, local market planning, and digital media who can quickly integrate into existing teams and provide hands-on support across planning, activation, and day-to-day account needs. The ideal candidate is flexible, detail-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.

## Key Responsibilities

- Support the development of integrated media plans across broadcast, video, digital, audio, and other media channels.
- Assist with annual planning initiatives, including CY27 planning and marketplace analyses.
- Contribute to local market planning efforts by evaluating market opportunities, audience insights, and media investment strategies.
- Help prepare media recommendations, planning documents, presentations, and client deliverables.
- Create and manage job orders, media specifications, flowcharts, and supporting planning materials.
- Coordinate with strategy, investment, analytics, and activation teams to ensure plans move efficiently from development through execution.
- Assist with media authorizations, budget tracking, and campaign set-up processes.
- Input media buys and maintain planning data within agency systems and tools (Prisma OMNI, Media Tools, etc).
- Support campaign launches, pacing reviews, reporting, and optimization discussions.
- Jump into a variety of projects as needed and provide additional bandwidth across the team.

## Qualifications

- 5+ years of media agency experience.
- Strong broadcast planning experience, including linear television and video.
- Experience with local market planning and media strategy.
- Solid understanding of digital media channels and integrated planning.
- Experience developing and managing multiple media plans simultaneously.
- Familiarity with media buying processes, job orders, media specifications, authorizations, and agency systems.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.

Ideal Candidate

- Strong foundation in broadcast and local market media planning.
- Able to step into active businesses and contribute immediately.
- Highly organized with excellent follow-through.
- Comfortable balancing multiple workstreams at once.
- Collaborative, flexible, and willing to support wherever needed.
- Experience with automotive, travel, hospitality, or retail categories is a plus.
- Familiarity with: Media Tools, eTelmar, Media Rader/Polk, Excel, Copilot, iSpot, OMNI

What we're really looking for: Someone who can quickly add bandwidth to the team by helping with planning, documentation, media buildouts, local market recommendations, job orders, specs, and buy entry. This is less about managing people and more about being a strong media practitioner who can jump in and help move work forward wherever needed.

We are unable to offer employment visa assistance for this role.

Consistent with applicable law, compensation will be determined based on the skills, qualifications, and experience of the applicant along with the requirements of the position. The Company reserves the right to modify this pay range at any time.
