We are looking for an Assistant Manager– Media (Digital) to lead full-funnel digital media strategy, investment planning and effectiveness across priority brands and categories. This is a commercially grounded role combining brand-building judgment, analytical rigour, creative understanding and strong agency leadership.

What You'll Own

1. Full-Funnel Media Strategy & Planning

- Translate brand and category priorities into integrated digital media plans across awareness, consideration, conversion and retention.
- Own channel and budget recommendations across YouTube, Meta, OTT/CTV, search, programmatic and relevant emerging platforms.
- Balance long-term brand building with near-term demand creation, ensuring a coherent consumer journey.

2. Media Investment & Business Impact

- Own media budgets, phasing, forecasts and investment efficiency across focus categories.
- Evaluate incremental impact on awareness, branded search, traffic, consideration, conversion and sales; distinguish correlation from causation.
- Recommend where to scale, reduce or reallocate spending using business outcomes, not only CTR, CPC or ROAS.

3. Experimentation, Measurement & Analytics

- Design structured tests across audiences, channels, creative, frequency and media mix.
- Develop reporting frameworks and dashboards to connect media signals with commercial outcomes.
- Work with Analytics,



Growth and E-commerce teams to assess incrementality, attribution limitations and learning agendas.

4. Agency & Cross-Functional Leadership

- Brief, challenge and manage media and performance partners against clear deliverables and outcomes.
- Lead regular performance reviews and ensure timely optimization and financial discipline.
- Collaborate with Brand, Category, D2C, E-commerce, Finance and Creative teams to turn insights into decisions.

What We're Looking For

- 2-4 years in digital media planning, integrated media, growth or performance marketing, preferably in consumer/D2C environments.
- Demonstrated ownership of sizable media plans, budgets and agency relationships.
- Robust knowledge of Meta, Google/YouTube, OTT/CTV and performance media; comfortable interpreting brand and business metrics.
- Advanced Excel/Sheets and analytical skills; ability to structure ambiguous questions and test hypotheses.
- Sound consumer and creative judgment, strong communication and stakeholder influencing skills.
- Comfortable with speed, ambiguity and high accountability; beauty experience is helpful but not essential.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

- Think of media spending as a business decision, not simply a channel plan.
- Question standard agency recommendations and build your own point of view.
- Can move between creative discussion and rigorous numerical analysis.
- Enjoy experimentation and are willing to change course when evidence demands it.
