Media Coordinator (Local Hero)

Local Hero is seeking a Media Coordinator with a passion for data and a steady hand to join our fast-growing marketing technology company. Your north stars are accuracy, precision, and optimization but always in service of delivering what the client needs.

You will work closely within our media team to source digital campaign data, validate campaign configurations, track and pace platform spend, and produce customer reports. If the request includes media data or campaigns, you’re on it. You’ll be valued to deliver outcomes that help our business and team grow, from quality-control upgrades to key performance insights.

Perhaps most importantly, the Media Coordinator will marry technical knowledge and platform experience with the interpersonal skills - you stand behind your point of view but are open to change; you ask what others think; you communicate your thinking proactively; you’re flexible and not afraid to try new things; you’re open to receiving and giving feedback; and you own outputs and outcomes.

Local Hero is a MAAP – Marketing as a Platform – technology company that blends local digital media, dynamic ad creation, self-serve technology, and full-service value to create custom campaigns and increase consumer traffic for national brands and local franchisees.
