About Us
At Hyrax, we’re a fast-paced, creative, and aggressive performance marketing agency focused on driving results through paid media. With offices in London and South Africa, we build campaigns that convert, combining intuition, data, and raw grit.
We’re a small, elite team of winners, and we’re looking for someone hungry to join us at the starting line and grow into a full-fledged Media Buyer.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Media Intern to be trained from the ground up into a Performance Media Buyer. This is not your average internship , you’ll be deep in live campaigns from day one, learning how to test, scale, and optimize paid traffic across platforms like Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Native.
You’ll work alongside experienced media buyers, creative strategists, and analysts, learning how to launch aggressive campaigns, interpret data like a hawk, and scale winning offers to the moon.
Key Responsibilities
In the First 3–6 Months, You Will:
- Shadow and assist senior media buyers with campaign setup, monitoring, and optimization
- Learn testing frameworks and how to analyze key performance metrics (CTR, CVR, EPC, ROAS)
- Help create ad copy, video scripts, and landing page briefs
- Assist in creative tracking and version control
- Document and organize test results, learning's, and reporting insights
- Participate in internal brainstorms and creative strategy sessions
- Help QA campaign launches for tracking, congruence, and accuracy (details, details, details)
As You Progress, You’ll Be Trained to:
- Launch your own campaigns under supervision
- Develop hypotheses and structured testing plans
- Work independently on accounts with responsibility for budget and performance
What We’re Looking For
We care more about mindset than experience. You don’t need to know media buying , we’ll teach you. But you must be:
- Detail-obsessed: Typos and mismatched UTMs can kill campaigns. You notice everything.
- A self-starter: If something’s broken, you fix it. If it’s missing, you build it.
- An analytical thinker: You enjoy solving puzzles, love numbers, and think in experiments.
- Bold and curious: You’re not afraid to try big ideas, even if they flop.
- Hungry and focused: You want a career, not just a job. You’re ready to earn your seat.
Candidate Requirements
Requirements
- No prior media buying experience required
- Bachelor's degree preferred, but not required
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills are a plus
- Familiarity with digital marketing, paid social, or eCommerce is a bonus
Our Values : What You'll Be Expected to Embody
- Your job isn’t done until the job is done
- Be creative
- Trust your instincts and act with integrity
- Be honest and open with your feedback
- Be resourceful
- Detail, details, details
- Be bold with your campaigns
We’ll hold you to these, because they’re how we win.
