A24 is seeking a strategic, results-driven manager to lead the LA Creative Marketing team's paid media operations — spanning asset production, media strategy execution, and campaign analytics across theatrical releases. Ideal candidates will bring deep expertise in paid media ecosystems, from planning and placement to performance analysis, alongside a strong command of emerging ad tech, AI-driven tools, and data-informed decision-making. This role requires a confident leader who can independently drive campaigns from brief to delivery while shaping the broader paid media vision for the team. This position is based in Los Angeles. Responsibilities
Own the full paid media production lifecycle across all campaigns — from creative development through placement, delivery, and post-campaign learnings — spanning formats like display, high-impact takeovers, OOH, programmatic, social, and earned media
Bring a strong creative vision and sharp sense of taste, setting the bar for what great work looks like across campaigns and raising the quality of every touchpoint
Conceive and execute first-to-market creative campaigns that tell bold stories, connect with audiences, and drive KPIs — bringing a sharp POV and clear creative direction to internal teams, agencies, and external partners
Craft compelling creative briefs and presentations that inspire great work and drive alignment and buy-in across stakeholders at all levels
Manage freelancers, vendors, and agency partners end-to-end, with the operational rigor to keep simultaneous campaigns on time, on brand, and at a high creative bar
Partner closely with media planning and buying teams to crack how creative can work harder across placement, platform, and audience — and translate campaign performance and media insights into sharper creative decisions on future work
Apply emerging tools and technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and drive smarter, faster, and more scalable campaign workflows
Lead cross-functional collaboration with media, post, international, and platform partners, navigating blockers and driving decisions that move campaigns forward
Mentor junior team members and establish best practices for production, media operations, and data-informed creative work
Ideal Candidate
6-8 years of experience in paid media, creative marketing, or digital production within film, entertainment, or a related industry
Demonstrated expertise across the paid media landscape
Working knowledge of ad tech (e.g. DSPs, DCO tools, generative creative applications), with a point of view on where the space is heading
Proven track record leading complex, multi-vendor production workflows at scale, with strong creative instincts and a clear POV to develop, articulate, and defend ideas that raise the bar
Skilled with tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Google Suite, and project management platforms (e.g. Airtable, Asana)
Deep passion for film marketing and entertainment; strategic, curious, and resourceful, with a drive to push creative and media boundaries
