Position Overview:

For the past 35 years, KRT Marketing, Inc. has served as a leading full-service advertising agency headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area — with in-depth background and experience in a wide variety of industries.

In the last decade, the Agency has emerged as a dominant force, on a global level, in recruitment advertising and employment communications.  Our continued growth has created the opportunity for a new Account Executive/Media Planner to lead our expanding client base of Fortune 500 companies in their recruitment advertising programs.  We're looking for a highly motivated individual with a willingness to develop a thorough knowledge of both online (i.e., Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, etc.) and print (i.e., newspaper classifieds) recruitment media along with the strong customer service and expertise that our clients have come to expect.

Primary activity revolves around online recruitment media with specific responsibilities including strategic media planning (i.e., job board consultation), media contract negotiations and media tracking/analysis.  Media planning activity for traditional marketing clients (outside of recruitment) will also be part of role/responsibilities.

This position will play a key role in the ongoing success of our business development program and provides definite opportunity for long-term growth.
