Q: What do you look for in hires? Firstly, we hire for deep, demonstrated competence in required for the intended role. This might be shown through past experience at a paid media consulting group. Or, alternatively, through other forms of consulting, or in-house, brand side work managing paid media strategy. In addition, our company values curiosity, persistence, and a global mindset. You do not need to speak 17 languages to work with us. But our most successful colleagues – during their time at Criterion Global, and long after they continue their careers – are curious about the world around them, as it impacts the industries we touch.

Q: How can I apply?  Follow this link to apply directly! It takes 5-10 minutes, assuming you have these 3 things:

We value persistence in problem-solving, ingenuity and creativity, and care deeply about professional development and supporting career growth internally.

Q: Do you have an internship program? Not at this time.
