Analyst, Media Ops | The Points Guy

This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our New York City office (Tuesday through Thursday) and work fully remotely on Mondays and Fridays each week.

The Points Guy is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Analyst to oversee the full lifecycle of advertising on our platform. In this role, you will serve as the critical link between sold media campaigns and live campaign delivery, ensuring that every campaign is launched accurately, paced appropriately, and concluded on schedule. This is a highly cross-functional position that requires both operational rigor and the ability to build scalable processes in a dynamic media environment. You will work on high-impact projects that directly influence business outcomes, with the opportunity to own complex, ambiguous problems from initial approach through final recommendation.

A key dimension of this role is a forward-thinking approach to artificial intelligence. The Analyst will be expected to actively integrate AI tools into day-to-day workflows and serve as an internal champion for AI adoption across the broader organization, helping teams identify opportunities to work more efficiently and intelligently.
