Senior Media Strategist

Deliver work that connects people to opportunity.

We’re looking for a Media Strategist who’s ready to use their media know-how to do something that matters. At HainesAttract, we create recruitment marketing campaigns that help New Zealand’s employers find the people they need—whether that’s nurses for the frontline, engineers for major infrastructure projects, or early talent to shape the future.

We don’t sell products. We sell potential. And we’re after someone who knows how to translate a hiring challenge into a media strategy that delivers.

So, what’s the role?

You’ll be the go-to media lead on some of our most exciting client projects—bringing clarity, creativity, and insight to the table. From building strategic media plans through to campaign placement and optimisation, you'll work closely with internal teams and client partners to make sure every dollar works hard (and smart). No two campaigns are ever the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.

You’ll also:

• Develop and execute tailored media plans that align with client goals and timelines

• Collaborate with creative, digital, and client teams to bring big ideas to life

• Track performance, optimise campaigns, and bring insights back to the room

• Educate clients on media opportunities, trends, and best practice

• Lead conversations with confidence—especially when things get complex

What are we looking for?

We’re after someone with solid media chops—someone who’s worked with large or complex clients, ideally in an agency setting. If you know your way around media platforms (digital and traditional), understand audience behaviours, and love solving problems creatively, you’ll fit right in. Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in employer branding or recruitment marketing.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience developing and delivering media strategies

• Confidence leading client relationships and internal teams

• Strong technical skills across media channels, data, and reporting

• A proactive mindset and the ability to think a few steps ahead

• An eye for detail, but always with the bigger picture in mind

What’s it like here?

We’re a team that likes to do great work and have a good time doing it. We work hybrid, connecting in the office three days a week, with a high-trust, high-collaboration approach. You’ll find us digging into strategy one minute and hitting the snack drawer the next. We’re proud of what we do—and we’re proud of how we do it.
