Digital Media Investment Analyst

The Netherlands (Amsterdam area) or Indonesia (Jakarta area) Full-time Advisory Global client base

This role focuses on the digital side of the media investment: programmatic, social, search and video. Where the reporting shows green and the real question is what was actually delivered. You work on the advertiser's side and ask platforms and agencies the questions that are rarely asked.

What you'll do

  • Test digital delivery against what was bought and invoiced.
  • Set and hold definitions: which viewability standard, measured or modelled reach, frequency per platform or across the audience.
  • Put platform reporting next to independent measurement.
  • Examine what sits inside the reported price and what falls outside it.
  • Contribute to the digital chapters of selections and audit reports.

What you bring

  • A few years in paid digital media, for example as a trader, planner, analyst or at an adtech company.
  • You know how the buying chain works and where the margins can sit.
  • You are curious about what a number means and not satisfied with a dashboard that shows green.
  • You expect the tooling to do the counting, so your time goes to interpretation.

What we offer

  • The move from executing to checking, with the knowledge you already have.
  • Work on the advertiser's side, with no trading interest.
  • Influence on the method we use to assess digital delivery.
  • Flexible working from our Amsterdam or Jakarta base, with room to work partly remotely.

How we hire

No panels, no black holes.

On pay: what we offer depends on what you bring and where you sit, so we set it per person rather than per band. Money comes up in the second conversation, with a real number, not a range you have to decode.

How it works: two conversations, both with the people you would actually work with, including the founder. The first is about you and about us. The second is about the work itself: we put an anonymised media file in front of you and talk through what you see. Terms follow that same round, once we both know what we are talking about. Then a decision, from us and from you. No panels, no assessments, no six-week silences.

Where you can be based: our team works from Amsterdam and from Jakarta, with room to work partly remotely. Our clients are worldwide, so for the right person we will look at other arrangements rather than rule them out.

On your application: everything you send us is treated the way we treat client documents: read by us, shared with no one, and used for nothing but this conversation. We read every application ourselves, and we get in touch when we see a fit. If you have not heard from us within two weeks, please take that as a no, with our thanks for the time you put in. We keep applications on file for three months and then delete them.

How to apply

Send your CV and a short note on why this role fits you. We respond within one working day, from a real person.

In your application, tell us clearly in which media markets you are genuinely proficient - the specific countries where you understand how media is planned, bought and reported. We pay close attention to where someone's market knowledge runs deep.
