About the role
The Media Director will serve as the embedded, on-the-ground presence of a dedicated Digilant senior team supporting a leading global CPG company's US media transformation initiative. This role is initially structured as a contract engagement through December 2026, with a strong intent to transition to a full-time position within Digilant's Media Planning team in 2027, reporting to Christine Yang, VP of Media Planning — contingent on performance.
For the duration of the contract, this role reports to Damon Crépin-Burr, Chief Strategy Officer at Digilant, and operates on a hybrid basis, with an expectation of 2–3 days per week at the client's Plano, TX office when the client is in market. This person will be the connective tissue between Digilant's capabilities and the client's internal teams. This is a high-visibility role that requires someone proactive, highly responsive, and able to thrive inside a large, matrixed organization. The right candidate brings a solid media strategy foundation and a genuine track record of driving change — not just advising on it.
