Senior Media Manager

About the role

As a Senior Media Manager at Anthropic, you will lead all paid media for our enterprise business and have key contributions for our broader brand media initiatives. You'll own how Anthropic and Claude reach the people who decide how organizations adopt AI, working within the Brand & Integrated Marketing team to turn commercial objectives into paid media plans that reach executives and consumers at the moments that matter.

In this role, you'll own the enterprise paid media strategy end to end, including channel mix, budget allocation, campaign architecture, and measurement, across paid social, programmatic, video, broadcast, audio, out-of-home, and trade and industry media. You'll develop a point of view on where our investment belongs and make the case for it with evidence in smart, strategic ways that can be applied to our entire media mix. You'll partner closely with Product Marketing, Growth, Sales, and Marketing Data Science, and you'll manage the agency, vendor, and platform relationships that bring the work to life, bringing both strategic judgment and hands-on rigor to the execution.

Responsibilities

• Own Anthropic's paid media strategy for the enterprise business, from channel mix and budget allocation through campaign execution and measurement
• Lead paid media planning and buying across the full channel set (paid social, programmatic, video, broadcast, audio, out-of-home, print, and trade and industry media) reaching the executives and functional leaders who shape how their organizations adopt AI
• Partner with brand marketing stakeholders to ensure media learnings drive better decisions across every initiative
• Serve as the media point of contact for the enterprise business, partnering with Product Marketing, Growth, and Sales to translate commercial objectives into media strategy
• Allocate and optimize the enterprise media budget across channels based on performance data, market dynamics, and strategic priorities
• Develop an independent point of view on channel mix and audience strategy, and advocate for it with evidence rather than deferring to agency recommendations
• Build a durable understanding of how business decision-makers consume media, and use it to challenge assumptions carried over from consumer planning
• Manage agency, vendor, and platform partner relationships day to day, holding partners accountable for strategic alignment and execution quality
• Work with Marketing Data Science to build the measurement frameworks that show whether our paid media worked: brand lift, reach and frequency modeling, attribution, and pipeline impact 
• Present media strategy, performance insights, and recommendations to marketing leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
• Track the media landscape, emerging platforms, and competitive activity across the AI industry to identify opportunities before they are obvious
• Build and refine planning, execution, and reporting processes that scale as the organization grows

You may be a good fit if you

• Extensive experience in paid media planning and strategy, including owning channel mix, budget allocation, and audience strategy for campaigns at meaningful scale on both B2B and B2C brands
• Have planned and bought across both upper-funnel and lower-funnel paid channels, and understand how each behaves differently
• Bring an independent point of view on where media investment belongs, and can defend
