Account Director: Media Operations

Criterion Global is a paid media agency for companies managing growth across markets, brands, and channels. Privately held and founder-owned, Criterion Global is not tied to a holding-company network, media reseller, or preferred vendor stack. That matters when the job is to find duplicate spend, challenge inherited plans, and make media decisions in the interest of enterprise value.

We help companies expand into new markets with speed, rigor, and local intelligence. 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.

This role of account director is responsible for client profitability, leadership across client/industry verticals, internal innovation, and fostering a work environment that encourages proactive thinking and action by Criterion Global team members on behalf of clients. Responsibilities & time distribution as follows:
