In this position, you’ll do more than just manage ads, you’ll be ensuring our campaigns run with precision, budgets are maximized for impact, and delivering successful, high-impact advertising initiatives that effectively highlight our films to the appropriate audiences.

• Budget Tracking
• Oversee campaign budgets, ensuring meticulous tracking, and precision for spend, billing and invoicing. 
• Comfortable handling numbers and ensuring reports match actual spend.
• Spreadsheet Proficiency
• Build and maintain error-free reports in Google Sheets/Excel (pivot tables, formulas), adeptly creating formulas and templates to enhance data interpretation and campaign reporting. 
• Asset Management 
• Manage the flow of creative assets: ensure correct specs, upload to platforms, and distribute to multiple media partners on time.
• Keep files and trackers organized to prevent delays or mix-ups.
• Learning & Innovation
• Stay curious and up to date with platform updates, new ad formats, and best practices.
• Bring forward small-scale test ideas to help the team stay ahead.

• A comprehensive understanding of the social media landscape, coupled with a forward-thinking approach to new tools, platforms, and strategies.
• Rigorous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to accuracy.
• Confident working with spreadsheets — pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, formulas.
• A proactive learner who is organized and detailed, and can juggle multiple tasks without dropping dealines.
• Passion for the world of Film, TV, and Pop Culture, which will be essential in understanding and targeting our core audiences.

Nice to Have

• Professional and proactive communication style, capable of liaising with multiple departments effectively.
