The Points Guy (TPG) is the go-to resource for smart, savvy travelers lookingto get the most out of their points, miles, and travel experiences. We help millions of readers unlock more from every trip - and we're looking for a Sales Operations Specialist to help us do the same with our brand partnerships.

The Media Planner & Sales Strategist is a hybrid media planning and sales support role, primarily assisting the sales team with operations, while also helping design and execute data-driven media strategies that drive traffic, engagement and growth for our clients. This person will blend analytical insight, operational rigor, and media planning best practices to ensure our campaigns reach the right audience at the right time, on the most effective channels.

What You'll Do:
  • Collaborate closely with the sales and integrated marketing team to deliver smart, solutions-oriented proposals.
  • Build and develop strategic, customized media plans in response to RFPs and client requests.
  • Work cross-functionally to support the pre-sale to post-sale transition process by ensuring accurate documentation, pricing plan reviews, and communication with internal stakeholders.
  • Assist in the creation and refinement of sales materials including pitch decks and kick off call decks.
  • Analyze audience, competitive, and performance data to inform media planning decisions.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of plans, budgets, and revisions. Optimize sales cycle and report data to senior leadership.

  • Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and Google Workspace products; familiarity with media math and forecasting. Experience with Boostr is a plus but not required.
  • Analytical mindset paired with exceptional storytelling skills.
