Media Director

Remote – U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $100,000–$125,000 USD

We’re Not Hiring a Manager.
We’re Hiring a Paid Media Leader Who Shapes Strategy, Growth, and Impact.

Level Agency — now strengthened by our recent acquisition of BAM Strategy, a digital experience and loyalty leader — is hiring a Media Director to lead, elevate, and accelerate media strategy for top-tier clients across performance and lifecycle disciplines. This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-performing team, define cutting-edge paid media strategies, and help brands win in an increasingly complex digital ecosystem.

If you thrive on data, love turning insight into action, and get energized by coaching teams to do their best work — this is your moment.

This Isn’t for Everyone

We’re building something rare: a place where growth, truth, and performance go hand-in-hand.

You’ll thrive here if:
✅ You lead teams with clarity, empathy, and accountability
✅ You transform data into compelling strategy and measurable outcomes
✅ You love pioneering new ways media works across platforms and channels
✅ You champion experimentation, optimization, and performance storytelling
✅ You embrace AI as a multiplier for speed, insight, and innovation

And you’ll struggle here if:
❌ You wait for direction instead of owning outcomes
❌ You treat innovation or data as optional
❌ You avoid direct client communication or accountability
❌ You don’t enjoy coaching or developing others

About Level (and BAM Strategy)

Level is an AI-powered performance marketing agency — built for precision, designed to scale, and driven by results. In 2025, Level acquired BAM Strategy, combining Level’s strengths in media, analytics, and machine intelligence with BAM’s expertise in digital experience, CRM, personalization, and loyalty strategy.

Together, we support 150+ clients across B2B tech, ecommerce, education, healthcare, CPG, and more. Our 250-person team operates fully remote across North America, bringing deep expertise in performance media and full-funnel customer growth.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of Level’s media muscle and BAM’s customer-lifecycle strengths — helping clients not only reach audiences, but engage, convert, and keep them.

Your Role (and Impact)

As Media Director, you will lead strategic planning, execution, and optimization of performance media campaigns across search, social, programmatic, and emerging channels.

You will:

• Build compelling performance narratives, supported by data visualization, insights, and action plans

Client & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Present strategic media recommendations to client stakeholders with clarity and confidence
• Partner with account management, analytics, creative, and tech teams to align execution to objectives
