Digital Investment Manager, Paid Social & Programmatic
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it—never emit heading with filler placeholder. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Summary: description about role. Could be "About the role". Use
About the role
then with the summary.
- Primary Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
Responsibilities
then - each bullet.
- Requirements: list of requirements. Use
Requirements
then - .
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we have "Bachelor’s degree or coursework in related industry strongly preferred." Also "Proficiency in Microsoft Office", "Strong analytical capabilities", "Agency experience preferred", "Experience with managing multiple projects", "Knowledge of project management software like Asana a plus." Also "Minimum 1-2 years’ experience managing direct reports." That's more requirements. Could combine into Requirements section. But we have separate headings possible: Qualifications, Skills. However we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills into Requirements or separate if distinct.
We have Benefits: described in "WHY WORK AT NOVUS" and "NOVUS Benefits". Provide benefits list.
Pay: salary range $80,000 - $110,000.
Schedule: hybrid position requiring combination of in-office work at Chicago location and remote work from home. Specific schedule will be finalized upon hire. Must be in/around Chicago Metro Area. No relocation assistance. Also travel occasional.
Thus we have schedule info.
We should not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate, diversity statement, etc.
Also remove "Please Note: This is a hybrid position..." Actually that's schedule info, keep.
Also remove "Position Salary" heading? We'll make Pay section.
Also remove "NOVUS Benefits" heading? We'll make Benefits section.
Also remove "A Word on Diversity", "Equal Opportunity Employer", etc.
Also remove "While the Company continually seeks..." maybe part of benefits but keep benefits description.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary paragraph:
"We’re looking for a hungry and energetic emerging leader. The ideal candidate will have experience or demonstrated interest in performance digital, with a focus on paid social, planning and buying. Skills and aptitude are critical on our small (but growing) and scrappy team, but we’re also looking for plain ‘ole good humans — a person who runs fast, works smart, and brings a smile to the proverbial office every day. The Digital Investment Manager must demonstrate strong competency of the fundamentals necessary for planning, activating and managing digital media performance and paid social campaigns. They will be able to develop, adapt and communicate our paid social POV to clients. They will be proficient in social and programmatic platforms and have experience managing and training junior staff members in all aspects of client and campaign management. This role will need to be able to collaborate with both internal and external partners. The candidate must possess a core area of expertise in programmatic channels and activation, with a focus on paid social."
We'll put that in
.
Responsibilities list:
- Serve as the paid social subject-matter expert for clients, translating platform capabilities across Meta, TikTok, Snap, Pinterest, and Reddit into strategic recommendations that advance client goals.
- Proactively bring new paid social opportunities — audiences, formats, and creative approaches — to clients to drive measurable performance and growth.
- Manage the team’s daily duties, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of all deliverables (including but not limited to pacing, trafficking, QA, creative swaps, A/B testing, reporting).
- Oversee digital operations and quality assurance across all campaigns, continuously refining processes to deliver high-quality, error-free work.
- Mentor and train junior staff to ensure continuous growth and development.
- Analyze and interpret data trends and develop improvement solutions; educate Client Services / Campaign Managers on changes to process.
- Support new business pitches with tactical expertise and innovative recommendations.
- Collaborate with leadership and peers to develop solutions that will enhance our campaign performance, operational efficiency, tools, and systems, and improve current workflows.
- Build, implement, and manage campaigns day-to-day, ensuring buys are properly executed and pacing to plan.
- Be able to act as a “player/manager” - know how to balance delegation and training with being hands on to help get things done.
- Build and maintain relationships with key vendors and partners, meeting with sales reps to evaluate the value and applicability of their media vehicles/tactics for the plan.
- Manage client relationships, leading presentations and providing a primary point of contact.
- Other duties as assigned by supervisor or department head.
We'll put each as
- .
Requirements list:
- Above all, must be curious, collaborative, and eager to learn.
- Minimum 3-5 years’ work experience in performance media required and can demonstrate a history of being able to quickly learn and adapt in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
- Ability to manage paid social media campaigns across a variety of objectives, from awareness to conversion, across the top social networks including Meta, TikTok, Snap, Pinterest, and Reddit.
- Demonstrated hands on programmatic activation experience a must, across relevant programmatic channels like CTV, OLV, Display, Streaming Audio, and Native.
- Expert in the use of relevant buying platforms (i.e. Google Ads, Meta Ads, Amazon Ads, Innovid / Flashtalking, etc.).
- Working knowledge of digital ad operations and tagging/tracking tools such as Google Analytics.
- Working knowledge of 1P and 3P data sources to deliver campaign performance.
- Minimum 1-2 years’ experience managing direct reports.
- Bachelor’s degree or coursework in related industry strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel).
- Strong analytical capabilities with aptitude for determining the optimal ways to set up, deliver, troubleshoot, QA, and optimize campaigns.
- Agency experience preferred.
- Experience with managing multiple projects and deliverables.
- Knowledge of project management software like Asana a plus.
- This position may require occasional travel for client meetings, agency events, and other business needs. The employee must be willing and able to travel as reasonably required, sometimes with limited advance notice.
- Please Note: This is a hybrid position requiring a combination of in-office work at our Chicago location and remote work from home. The specific schedule will be finalized upon hire. We are only looking for candidates in/around the Chicago Metro Area and do not offer relocation assistance.
But travel and hybrid schedule maybe better placed under Schedule section. However they are in requirements block. We'll keep travel in Requirements? Might be better to separate schedule. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll extract schedule info: hybrid position, in-office Chicago, remote, schedule finalized upon hire, candidates in/around Chicago Metro Area, no relocation assistance. Also occasional travel.
We'll make a Schedule section with that info.
Thus Requirements section will exclude schedule/hybrid/travel lines.
Let's separate:
Requirements (core):
- Above all, must be curious, collaborative, and eager to learn.
- Minimum 3-5 years’ work experience in performance media required and can demonstrate a history of being able to quickly learn and adapt in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
- Ability to manage paid social media campaigns across a variety of objectives, from awareness to conversion, across the top social networks including Meta, TikTok, Snap, Pinterest, and Reddit.
- Demonstrated hands on programmatic activation experience a must, across relevant programmatic channels like CTV, OLV, Display, Streaming Audio, and Native.
- Expert in the use of relevant buying platforms (i.e. Google Ads, Meta Ads, Amazon Ads, Innovid / Flashtalking, etc.).
- Working knowledge of digital ad operations and tagging/tracking tools such as Google Analytics.
- Working knowledge of 1P and 3P data sources to deliver campaign performance.
- Minimum 1-2 years’ experience managing direct reports.
- Bachelor’s degree or coursework in related industry strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel).
- Strong analytical capabilities with aptitude for determining the optimal ways to set up, deliver, troubleshoot, QA, and optimize campaigns.
- Agency experience preferred.
- Experience with managing multiple projects and deliverables.
- Knowledge of project management software like Asana a plus.
Now Qualifications/Skills: Could combine with Requirements but we already have many. Perhaps we can make a Skills section for technical proficiencies: programmatic activation, buying platforms, ad ops, analytics, data sources, Microsoft Office, analytical capabilities, project management software. But that duplicates. Better to keep Requirements as is and maybe not have separate Qualifications/Skills sections to avoid thin sections. However the instruction says use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with real content. We have Benefits, Pay, Schedule. For Qualifications and Skills, we could merge into Requirements or maybe we can have a Qualifications section for education/degree and experience, and Skills for technical abilities. But that may create many thin sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine where possible.
Thus we could have:
- About the role (summary)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (includes experience, qualifications, skills)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
That's six sections. That seems fine.
Now Benefits: extract from "WHY WORK AT NOVUS" and "NOVUS Benefits". Let's gather substantive benefits:
From "WHY WORK AT NOVUS": "NOVUS provides a collaborative work environment, with career advancement potential and offers an array of benefits as well as considerable time off allowances. Additionally, as a mid-sized agency, team members have direct exposure to senior management on a regular basis and they get the opportunity to work on a range of assignments with significant responsibilities. By joining one of the premier media companies in the industry, you'll be part of a team that is passionate, engaged, forward-thinking and seizing opportunities daily."
That's more descriptive; but we can include as prose.
From "NOVUS Benefits": "NOVUS offers a full array of health care and wellness benefits, which currently includes medical, prescription, dental, vision, life and accidental death & dismemberment insurances, short and long-term disability, pre-tax flexible spending accounts, a health savings account, legal services, identity theft protection and an employee assistance program. Eligible employees are those that are full-time salaried or part-time salaried employees working 30 hours per week or more, as well as those whose eligibility is required by applicable state law. A group retirement savings plan is also available to all salaried employees. While the Company continually seeks to improve upon and add to its current benefits suite, it believes you will find the benefit programs as comprehensive as any in the industry."
We should keep that.
We can combine into a Benefits section with
- for each benefit item, and maybe a
for descriptive parts.
List benefits:
- medical insurance
- prescription insurance
- dental insurance
- vision insurance
- life insurance
- accidental death & dismemberment insurance
- short-term disability
- long-term disability
- pre-tax flexible spending accounts
- health savings account
- legal services
- identity theft protection
- employee assistance program
- group retirement savings plan (for salaried employees)
Also mention eligibility: full-time salaried or part-time salaried working 30
