Especialista en Medios Pagados / Media Buyer (Mexico)

Criterion Global is a rare independent international media strategy and buying agency, purpose-built for brands navigating the new global economy. We help companies expand into new markets with speed, rigor, and local intelligence—without the constraints of holding-company networks.

Our clients work with us because we combine senior-level thinking, agile global coverage, and hands-on execution across digital, TV, CTV, OOH, and sponsorship-led media. We are intentionally low-profile, but widely regarded by our clients as a hidden advantage when entering or scaling in complex international markets.

The Especialista en Medios Pagados / Media Buyer will lead paid media execution focused on the Mexican market, supporting both local advertisers and international brands entering Mexico for the first time. This role requires strong platform expertise, market fluency, and the ability to operate confidently in both Spanish and English.

You will be responsible for planning, activating, and optimizing media across digital and select traditional channels, while collaborating with Criterion Global’s international strategy and client leadership teams.

To support an efficient and transparent review process, applicants are asked to briefly describe their preferred compensation structure (e.g., hourly, daily, project-based, or retainer) and their proposed rate or fee range, including currency. All engagements are offered on an independent contractor basis only and do not create an employment, partnership, or agency relationship. Compensation information is requested for planning and evaluation purposes and is non-binding; final terms will be subject to mutual agreement, defined scope, availability, jurisdictional and tax requirements. Where applicable, payments to international contractors may be made in the agreed local currency or USD, with any foreign exchange conversion handled at prevailing market rates through the Company’s designated payment provider.
