Director, Media Strategy (Remote)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or About You), Benefits, Pay (if salary range present), Schedule (if RTO policy details). Also maybe Qualifications? The posting includes "About You" which is qualifications. We'll map that to Requirements or Qualifications. Use

for each section heading. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: the initial warning about payment, fraudulent postings, etc. Also remove "Please note that we will never request payment..." etc. Also remove "As we continue to grow..." etc. Also remove "While Monks may contact..." etc. Also remove "About Monks" maybe? It's not a required section heading but could be considered "About Monks" but not in list of allowed headings. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only include those headings if content exists. "About Monks" is not in list, so we should not create a heading for it; we could incorporate its content elsewhere? Probably we should drop it as it's not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit About Monks. We need to preserve all substantive information from the posting, except boilerplate. So we need to extract: About The Role paragraph(s). Then Responsibilities bullet points (list). Then About You (essentials) bullet points (list). Then Benefits list. Then Pay: Salary Range. Then Schedule: Return to Office policy details. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with empty content. Let's parse the posting. First part: "Please note that we will never request payment..." etc. Remove. Then: "As we continue to grow our teams..." remove. Then: "Please protect your personal information..." remove. Then: "While Monks may contact potential candidates via LinkedIn, all applications must be submitted through our official website (monks.com/careers)." Remove (application instructions). Then: "About The Role" heading. Content after that: "The Media Strategy department is the strategic heart of Monks' media offering: a unified team bringing together deep expertise in media strategy, media planning, and account management. We build integrated, full-funnel media strategies that connect brand storytelling to measurable business outcomes, powered by AI-enabled workflows and analytical rigor. The Director, Media Strategy is the senior craft lead for media strategy and planning on one or more of Monks' most valuable accounts: accountable for the quality, rigor and ambition of the strategic product. This requires: Deep expertise in audience-led, insight-driven media strategy and planningFearless ability to tell data-driven stories and extract key insights for senior-level clientsFull-funnel command of the media landscape across Social, Search, Programmatic/Digital Investment, Holistic Video, OOH, and Direct Partnerships.An exceptional track record of connecting media strategy to measurable business outcomesExperience managing and stewarding career growth for mid-level direct reports (Associate Director and Sr Manager levels)". Note there are missing spaces after commas; but we keep as is. We need to format as prose

. Possibly break into sentences. Then "Responsibilities" heading. Then bullet list items: "Strategic Leadership Lead the development of go-to-market strategies and integrated, full-funnel media plans informed by rich consumer and industry insights, with a laser focus on connecting strategy to outcomes.Set the standard for strategic deliverables: annual planning, campaign strategy, audience frameworks, budget scenarios and measurement approaches.Apply AI-enabled tools across insight generation, plan development and reporting, and define where they accelerate the work versus where human strategy adds the most value.Analyze data, craft insights and make recommendations internally and externally at an executive-ready level.Maintain in-depth knowledge of the client's business, including strategic priorities, historical performance, competitive threats and opportunities." Then "Client & Cross-Functional Leadership Serve as the senior media strategy voice in client meetings, briefings and planning presentations, partnering closely with the Client Strategy Lead.Partner with Activation, Investment and Data & Measurement teams to ensure strategies carry through to executional and performance excellence.Build relationships with top platform partners to stay current on offerings and maximize media value for clients." Then "Team Leadership Lead and manage Associate Directors and Sr Managers, with oversight of planning output across the account team.Develop process improvements, planning frameworks and best practices that raise the department's strategic product.Set the team up for success through clear goals, training opportunities and regular constructive feedback." We need to split into list items. Probably each bold heading is a subsection; we can make each as

containing the sentences. Then "About You" heading (or "Requirements"/"Qualifications"). Content: "The essentials: 9+ years of industry experience focused on media strategy, planning and digital media.B2B experience required.Mastery of traditional, digital and social media planning, buying and measurement.Fluent in data and AI-enabled tools, with the analytical rigor to separate signal from noise.Experienced with syndicated planning and insight tools (e.g., Comscore, GWI, MRI-Simmons, Nielsen) to build audience-driven plans.Ability to craft compelling, data-driven narratives for senior client audiences.Experience leading and mentoring teams in a high-pressure, high-volume environment.Not afraid to defect from the status quo in order to make our clients and company more successful.BA or equivalent with emphasis on marketing, advertising, or business." Then after that: "At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission." This is EEO boilerplate; we should remove as per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So drop that paragraph. Then "Benefits" heading. Content: "What We Offer Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance - more about our coverage here!Generous PTO and 15 company-wide holidays401k with company contributionPaid parental leaveWork-life balance with an emphasis on personal well-beingCareer growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.Monks, Cultura.Monks, and more!Authentic commitment to DEI efforts and sustainable growth. (Why Sir Martin Sorrell signed The Climate Pledge here!)" We need to format as list items. Each benefit separated by maybe no punctuation; we need to split logically. We'll create

• for each benefit: Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance; Generous PTO and 15 company-wide holidays; 401k with company contribution; Paid parental leave; Work-life balance with an emphasis on personal well-being; Career growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network; A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.Monks, Cultura.Monks, and more!; Authentic commitment to DEI efforts and sustainable growth. (Why Sir Martin Sorrell signed The Climate Pledge here!). We'll keep the parenthetical note. Then after Benefits, there is: "This role is subject to our Return to Office (RTO) policy. If you reside within a commutable distance of one of our office locations, you will be expected to work from the office a set number of days per week. The specific details, including the number of required office days, will be in accordance with the company’s then-current RTO policy, which is subject to change from time to time." This is schedule info. So we create a Schedule section with that paragraph. Then: "Monks has provided a compensation range that represents its good faith estimate of what Monks may pay for the position at the time of posting. Monks may ultimately pay more or less than the posted compensation range. The salary offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on job-related factors, but not based on a candidate’s sex or any other protected status. Salary Range: $118,000—$139,000 USD". This is Pay section. We'll create Pay heading with that paragraph (maybe just the salary range line). We can include the preceding sentences as prose. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

  About the Role

  ...

  Responsibilities

  • Strategic Leadership: Lead the development ...
  ...

  Requirements

  • 9+ years of industry experience focused on media strategy, planning and digital media.
  ...
  Alternatively could use "About You" heading but we need to pick from allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll use Requirements.

  Benefits

  • Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance - more about our coverage here!
  ...

  Pay

  Monks has provided a compensation range that represents its good faith estimate of what Monks may pay for the position at the time of posting. Monks may ultimately pay more or less than the posted compensation range. The salary offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on job-related factors, but not based on a candidate’s sex or any other protected status. Salary Range: $118,000—$139,000 USD

  Schedule

  This role is subject to our Return to Office (RTO) policy. If you reside within a commutable distance of one of our office locations, you will be expected to work from the office a set number of days per week. The specific details, including the number of required office days, will be in accordance with the company’s then-current RTO policy, which is subject to change from time to time.

  We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Check for any leftover: The "About Monks" section we omitted entirely. That's fine. Now verify that we preserved all substantive information: About The Role paragraph, Responsibilities bullets, About You bullets (converted to Requirements), Benefits list, Pay paragraph, Schedule paragraph. We need to ensure we didn't lose any details: In About The Role, there is a list after "This requires:" with items lacking spaces. We'll keep as is but maybe add spaces for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We should not change the wording except maybe formatting. We can keep the exact text but we can add spaces where missing? That would be altering. Better to keep as is but we can add spaces to make readable? That might be considered inventing? It's just formatting; but adding spaces changes the string. Safer to keep exactly as given, but it's hard to read. However we can keep the original text but we can add line breaks? That's still changing. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not forbid adding whitespace for readability? Usually it's okay to adjust formatting but not change words. Adding spaces between words changes the string but does not change meaning; but could be considered altering. Safer to keep the exact text as given, but we can keep the missing spaces; it's still readable albeit weird. Let's keep as given. Thus About The Role paragraph: "The Media Strategy department is the strategic heart of Monks' media offering: a unified team bringing together deep expertise in media strategy, media planning, and account management. We build integrated, full-funnel media strategies that connect brand storytelling to measurable business outcomes, powered by AI-enabled workflows and analytical rigor.
