At Phoenix Group, you’ll work on the best client portfolio in Saskatchewan. Businesses competing against national chains and established players.

This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You’ll have opportunities to develop media strategies for local, national and international campaigns. We work in digital and traditional channels, optimize campaigns in real-time, and report on what’s actually working.
You’ll work independently on your accounts while being part of a collaborative team. Collaboration is a core value here, and we strongly believe in the full-service model where creative, strategy, media, and account teams work together to deliver better results.

- Monitor and analyze performance, providing clear reporting and actionable insights
- Collaborate with creative, strategy, and account teams to support cross-channel integration and programmatic opportunities
- Stay current on emerging media trends, tools, and industry best practices

What you need:
- 3+ years of relevant media planning and buying experience
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills (you dig into data to find answers)
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel
- Working knowledge of digital media buying platforms and technologies
- Hands-on experience with DSP management
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you’ll present to clients
- Ability to manage multiple priorities independently while working collaboratively
