The PITCH

We’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social micro-content.

Our Project Managers enjoy working in a fast paced environment and love the challenge of discovering what drives and moves consumers. Our Australia office is hunting the advertising landscape for a passionate and driven PM that will lead a global brand account and continually review and optimize the work team produces, and collaborate with the project management team to establish effective ways to lead teams and processes.

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us.

We can’t wait to meet you.
