Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the channel end to end. You’ll drive budget, pacing, forecasting, campaign architecture, in-channel creative strategy, bidding, audiences, placement mix — the full stack of decisions that drive our largest paid channel. You'll be accountable for acquiring high quality customers at efficient CACs.
  • Optimize for customer quality, not just cost. You'll be responsible for driving against both volume & quality targets — conversions, customer retention, LTV — and you'll tune targeting, creative selection, and bidding toward cohorts that stay, even when that makes the topline CAC number look worse in the short run.
  • Bring the channel in house. Lead the transition from our hybrid agency model to full internal ownership, leading hands-on account management with ad ops support.
  • Own creative performance in-channel. Collaborate closely with the Growth Creative Strategist on translating our creative strategy to Meta — determine how we bring our value props to life, testing strategy, and the audience × message × format judgment behind those calls. You'll feed your channel's signals back into the system so wins travel beyond your channel.
  • Own the measurement, skeptically. Keep our signal quality strong (CAPI, event match quality, AEM), reconcile platform reporting against internal attribution, and contribute to incrementality work — geo holdouts, lift studies — so we're spending against what really drives performance, not what Meta says is real.

Requirements

  • You've run Meta at scale.
  • You've personally managed seven-figure monthly Meta budgets, ideally at a DTC subscription or ecommerce brand, with deep hands on keys experience, not through an agency.
  • You have experience with subscription business and understand the dynamics you instinctively evaluate performance through retention and LTV, not just cost per conversion.
  • You're rigorous about reporting & tech. You design clean tests and you can tell a genuine performance signal from attribution noise. CAPI, EMQ, attribution windows, and view-through dynamics are familiar ground.
  • You have in-channel creative judgment.
  • You communicate with clarity.

Benefits

  • Fully paid Health, Vision, and Dental insurance.
  • 4-day work week.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Fully Remote Office & Culture.
  • Free cat food every month.
