Job Description:
This role is for a planner who thinks in people, not just channels. As a Connection Planner, you’ll turn audience insight into smart, integrated media connections that drive real business impact.

If you’re curious, commercially minded, and confident shaping how brands show up across the funnel, this is where you’ll do your best work.
