About the role
Brainlabs is the independent, founder-led agency building the future of media. We have over 1000 Brainlabbers based across the global, all united through the 12 principles laid out in our Culture Code. We're full-service, with people and AI agents working side by side, all aligned to one thing: maximizing our clients' revenue through a genuinely scientific approach to media. If you want to help play your part in achieving this for the world's biggest brands in an environment that will support and challenge you in equal measure, this is where you do it.

Reporting to: Chief Planning & Data Officer
Location: New York City, New York
Work Authorization: Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or continuation for this position.
What's the role
We're building agentic media planning at Brainlabs. This role owns how it works.
You'll own the underlying process, contribute to refining it over time, and support the 3rd party integrations that power it. You will be responsible for the bridge between our planners and the media our agents run on. This is not about delivering campaigns, this is refining and running the processes and tech that does.
So, tell me about the company
Brainlabs is culture-first. You’ve probably heard other companies describe themselves as people, clients, or profit first – but we see people, clients and profit as the building blocks of our ecosystem. Culture powers all three and we know that when the ecosystem is balanced, we all win! That's why the culture we cultivate is a culture of winning together.
