Supervisor, Value Management

Worksite Location: Downtown Toronto (hybrid – 3 day/week in office, TTC accessible)
Type: 1 year temporary contract to start, potential to extend based on performance and continued expanded business needs
Pay Rate: $38–$43 per hour + 4% vacation pay (commensurate with experience)

About the Role
We are seeking a strategic and analytical Supervisor, Value Management to join a growing team focused on driving efficiency, cost optimization, and smarter investment decisions across media portfolios.

This is a newly evolving function designed to respond to increasing business demand and complexity. The successful candidate will bring a non-linear, problem-solving mindset—someone who can dive into detail while simultaneously stepping back to assess broader opportunities and solutions.
You will play a key role in evaluating media investments, identifying efficiencies, and supporting teams with data-driven insights that improve overall value.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze media spend across channels (e.g., digital, TV, print, out-of-home) to identify cost-saving opportunities

• Evaluate data sets and spreadsheets to uncover trends, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities

• Apply both detail-oriented analysis and big-picture thinking to recommend strategic adjustments

• Partner with internal buying and planning teams to align on value optimization strategies

• Support responses to auditors and interpret varying frameworks, methodologies, and terminology

• Translate complex data and audit requirements into clear, actionable insights

• Assist in developing standardized approaches, taxonomies, and best practices across accounts

• Contribute to evolving service models and value management frameworks

• Work on smaller accounts initially, with increasing autonomy over time

• NOTE that while Supervisor in title, there is no direct supervision of staff, more the ownership of the accounts

What You Bring

• Experience in media planning, buying, or media analytics; those from value management and media investments primarily required.

• Strong understanding of media channels, transactions, and market dynamics

• Experience with media audits

• Ability to think non-linearly — connecting detailed analysis to broader strategic outcomes

• Problem-solving mindset with a focus on “how to achieve the goal differently”

• Comfort working with data (Excel skills required; advanced analytics support will be provided)

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex or inconsistent terminology

• Experience working with audits, financial reviews, or reconciliation processes is an asset

• Adaptability and curiosity—diverse backgrounds and perspectives are highly valued

What Sets You Apart

• You naturally zoom in and zoom out — balancing precision with strategy

• You challenge assumptions and bring fresh thinking to complex problems

• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and building new processes

• You understand that value isn’t just about price—it’s about outcomes, trade-offs, and creative solutions

Work Environment

• Hybrid work model: 3 days in office (downtown Toronto) in a modern, fresh office

• Easily accessible via TTC transit

• Collaborative, evolving team environment with high visibility and impact

Why This Role
This role offers a unique opportunity to be part of an newer but established and growing function, where your ideas and approach will help shape how value is defined, measured, and delivered. If this opportunity describes you, please be sure to apply today as our client is motivated to have someone join the team!
