Streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness channel. It’s becoming a core part of the performance marketing mix, alongside search and social. Vibe.co is building the platform that makes TV work like the rest of the acquisition stack: targeted, measurable, and optimized for results.
Vibe.co is an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising platform that gives marketers the tools to reach the right audiences, optimize campaigns in real time, and understand what’s actually driving business outcomes. With hyper-targeted segmentation, AI-powered recommendations, real-time optimization, and incrementality measurement, Vibe brings the precision and accountability of digital advertising to the biggest screen in the house.
Today, more than 12,000 brands use Vibe.co to reach 120 million+ households. And in August 2026, Vibe.co became a Walmart company, opening up a new chapter for the business and the industry. With Walmart’s first-party data and purchase signals now part of the Vibe platform, advertisers can connect TV advertising to real-world transactions and measure the impact of CTV with a level of precision previously associated with platforms like Google and Meta.
This is a unique moment to join Vibe. With Walmart’s scale, data, and reach behind us, we’re building the next generation of TV advertising and creating a more measurable, performance-driven future for the channel.
ABOUT THE ROLE
If you’ve walked through Times Square, Grand Central or a New York subway car this year, you’ve seen Vibe. Out-of-home is how Vibe builds its brand with the marketers it wants to win, and in 2026 it helped nearly double our organic traffic in a few months. In 2027 that program grows into an eight-figure, always-on plan across five markets, with New York as the anchor, and linear TV joins the mix for the first time. As Marketing Media Manager, you’ll own both channels end to end. You’ll plan, negotiate, buy, launch and measure every placement, and you’ll be the person who knows where every dollar sits and what it returned. Three reasons someone great would want this job: you’ll run one of the most visible B2B brand programs in the city, you’ll build Vibe’s linear TV presence from a blank page, and you’ll do it for a TV advertising company, where the team expects you to have an opinion on how media should be bought.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Own out-of-home, end to end
- Plan and buy Vibe’s OOH program across five markets: an always-on presence in New York and bursts around the industry moments that matter to our buyers
- Negotiate directly with operators and media partners, and use agencies only where they add real leverage
- Own the full lifecycle of every flight: contracts, creative specs, production deadlines, install, proof of performance and invoicing
- Keep the program flexible, reallocating spend mid-year when a placement underperforms or an opportunity opens up
Build linear TV from zero
- Define Vibe’s first linear TV strategy: which networks, dayparts and moments reach the marketers we sell to
- Choose the buying model and the partners, then run the first campaigns yourself
- Make linear and streaming TV work together, so our own campaigns show what we tell advertisers TV can do
Prove it works
- Own measurement for both channels: brand lift, branded search, organic traffic and pipeline from target accounts
- Tie placements to the events roadmap and to the ecommerce brands Sales is targeting, so every market burst has a reason
- Report results to marketing and leadership in numbers, and say plainly what to cut
Run it like an operator, with AI
- Track budget pacing, flights and contracts to the dollar, in tools you build yourself with Claude rather than waiting on someone else
- Decide what gets renewed and what gets killed, based on outcomes
WHAT YOU NEED
- 8+ years in media planning and buying, at an agency, in-house, or both
- You’ve owned OOH budgets in the seven to eight figures, and you know how operators price, package and negotiate
- Hands-on linear TV buying experience, or a clear point of view on how you’d build it
- You negotiate well and you read a contract before you sign it
- You measure what you buy, and you can show a past campaign’s results in numbers
- You build with AI yourself, with specific examples of what it changed in your work
NICE TO HAVES
- B2B brand advertising experience
- CTV or ad tech experience
- Experience tying media to events and account-based marketing
OUR VALUES
At Vibe, we run on three values: Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x rather than settling for good enough, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
You’ll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort.
This is a high-performance environment with high-performance rewards: you’ll work alongside people who push you, with real ownership over hard problems in a market that’s moving fast.
If that sounds like the best version of your career, we want to meet you.
WHAT WE OFFER
For candidates based in New York, NY, base pay for this role is $95,000-$180,000.
At Vibe, we want you to build something, own something, and grow fast. Here’s how we back that up:
- Variable pay — Based on real Vibe business goals.
- Hybrid flexibility — We're in NYC's Flatiron District and our team is in 3x a week!
- Full health coverage — Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- 401(k) with matching — We invest in your future, not just your output.
- Unlimited PTO — Take the time you need. We measure results, not hours.
- Parental leave — Paid leave for all parents.
- Annual offsite — The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.
WHAT WE OFFER
We respect your time. Here’s exactly what to expect — no surprises, no ghosting.
- Recruiter screen — 30 min. We’ll share context; you’ll share yours.
- Manager interview — Meet the person you’d work with directly.
- Take-home assignment + live debrief — A real problem, not a trick. We’ll work through it together.
- Calibration interview — A senior leader joins to ensure we’re holding a consistent, high bar.
- Reference checks — Two calls, handled with discretion.
- Offer — Fast. We don’t let good decisions sit.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Vibe is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
We believe the best ideas come from teams with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, please let us know.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Media Manager
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Your H-1B visa petition requires USCIS to accept Media Manager as a specialty occupation. Pull your official transcripts and map your coursework directly to the job duties your employer lists in the LCA. A communications or marketing degree with media-specific coursework strengthens the case considerably.
Look up prevailing wage before negotiating
Run your target city and job title through the OFLC Wage Search before salary talks begin. Your employer must certify a wage at or above the prevailing rate on the LCA, so knowing Level I through Level IV thresholds lets you negotiate from an informed position.
Search Migrate Mate for verified sponsoring employers
Use Migrate Mate to browse Media Manager roles at employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history. Filtering your search this way saves time by showing only companies that have already navigated the DOL and USCIS filing process for comparable positions.
Target employers with multi-market media operations
Broadcasting groups, publishing houses, and digital media networks that operate across multiple markets file LCAs regularly for media roles. Each worksite requires its own certified LCA, so employers already running multi-location programs understand that filing burden and are more prepared to handle it.
Confirm the LCA covers your specific worksite
If your Media Manager role involves a studio, production facility, or office not listed on the original LCA, your employer must file a new certified LCA before you work there. Raise this explicitly during onboarding to avoid a compliance gap that could affect your status.
Prepare for the RFE risk on managerial titles
USCIS sometimes issues Requests for Evidence on managerial titles because the specialty occupation standard requires degree-level expertise, not just supervisory duties. Ask your employer's immigration attorney to document your technical media responsibilities, platform expertise, and content strategy work in the I-129 support letter.
H-1B Visa Media Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Media Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines and structures the position. When the role requires applying specialized knowledge in communications, digital media strategy, brand management, or content production at a degree level, USCIS can accept it as a specialty occupation. Employers who document that the job requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, such as communications, marketing, or journalism, build the strongest petitions. Generic managerial duties without that degree-level technical core create RFE risk.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for Media Manager positions?
Migrate Mate shows Media Manager roles at employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history, so you're not guessing about sponsorship willingness. Beyond that, media conglomerates, advertising agencies, streaming platforms, and large publishing companies file LCAs for these roles most consistently. Checking DOL's public LCA disclosure data confirms which employers have certified positions at your target level and location.
What documents should I gather before applying to H-1B-sponsoring media companies?
Start with your official transcripts showing a degree in communications, marketing, journalism, or a related field, plus a detailed resume that maps your experience to degree-level media duties. If your degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member service so your employer's attorney can document equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree when filing the I-129 petition with USCIS.
What happens to my H-1B status if I move to a different office location or production site?
Each worksite where you perform H-1B duties must have its own certified LCA on file before you begin working there. If your Media Manager role requires you to work at a client site, remote production facility, or a new office not covered by the original LCA, your employer must file a new LCA with DOL first. Working at an unlisted location without a certified LCA is a compliance violation that can jeopardize your status.
Can my employer start the H-1B process after extending a job offer, and how long does it take?
Yes. Your employer files the LCA with DOL first, which typically certifies within seven business days, then submits the I-129 petition to USCIS. Standard USCIS processing takes several months, while premium processing, which carries an additional government fee, targets a faster adjudication window. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions are subject to annual limits and selection rules that have changed recently, your employer's attorney should confirm current timing requirements well before your intended start date.
