Fast-paced | High-volume | Deadline-driven
We are seeking an experienced Advertising Planning Manager (APM) to support our National Sales team in a
high-energy, production-heavy environment. This role is at the center of everything post-sale - where orders, creative, deadlines, and market details all come together. If you thrive when you're busy, enjoy solving problems in real time, and like being the person who keeps everything moving, this is the role for you.
This is
not a slow, task-by-task job. You will work across multiple systems, multiple markets, and multiple accounts every day, balancing competing priorities while making confident decisions that keep campaigns on track.
What You'll Do
- Manage ROP, Preprint, and Digital insertion orders for key national advertisers across multiple markets
- Enter, track, verify, and update orders across several advertising systems simultaneously
- Attach and manage creative files and ensure everything aligns correctly to each placement
- Communicate rates, specs, impressions, availability, and deadlines to sales teams, clients, and operations
- Provide market guidance including zoning, circulation, special sections, and print and digital inventory
- Work closely with Sales, Finance, Production, and Pagination to release ads, process late changes, confirm pricing, and resolve issues
- Track down missing creative, inserts, tearsheets, affidavits, and billing discrepancies
- Keep everything accurate, compliant, and on schedule in a daily deadline environment
This Role Is a Great Fit If You...
- Enjoy working at a fast pace with constant movement and multiple priorities
- Stay calm and focused when multiple people need things at once
- Are confident making decisions and problem-solving without needing step-by-step direction
- Like working across multiple screens, programs, and accounts at the same time
- Take pride in accuracy, organization, and getting things done on time
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
- Experience with newspaper, preprint, or digital advertising including insertion orders, CPM/PCI rates, circulation, and advertiser cost calculations
- Strong multitasking, prioritization, and time-management skills
- Excellent attention to detail in a deadline-driven environment
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a highly collaborative, cross-trained team
- Ability to pivot quickly as priorities and requests change throughout the day
Technical Skills
- Experience with Phoenix, Ad Base, Naviga, Affinity, Portal, or DOMO is a plus
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Share Point, and One Drive required
