Media Investment Analyst

As a Media Investment Analyst at Vendor-MGT you work on the advertiser's side of the table. You dig into media plans, delivery reports and invoices, expose where value leaks between deals and buying, and translate opaque numbers into clear, defensible answers for our clients. We are independent by design - we work only for advertisers and never buy or sell media - so your only agenda is the truth.

• Audit media plans, delivery reports and invoices against contracts and external benchmarks.
• Trace numbers back to their source and flag where transparency breaks down.
• Turn complex, cross-channel data into clear findings and recommendations advertisers can act on.
• Support media agency selections, audits and vendor-management programmes worldwide - single markets, regional groups and global reviews across dozens of countries.
• Sharpen our methods, checks and definitions so every review is consistent and repeatable.

• Five or more years in media - agency, auditor, advertiser or ad-tech - with a strong grasp of how media is planned, bought and reported.
• A financial and analytical instinct: you like reconciling numbers and you notice when they do not add up.
• The independence of mind to challenge a finding and defend it with evidence.
• Clear writing and communication - you can explain a complex issue to a CMO and a CFO alike.
• Comfort working across markets and channels, online and offline.
• You expect the tooling to do the counting, and you spend your time on what the numbers mean.

• A role entirely on the advertiser's side - no agency margins, no conflicts of interest.
• Work on the media investments of some of the world's best-known advertisers, where a single finding can change what a year of media delivers.
• A small, senior team that values craft, rigour and raising the level of the game.
• Flexible working from our Amsterdam or Jakarta base, with room to work partly remotely.
• We build our own analytical tooling for this work - you help shape what it looks for, rather than using what someone else built.
