Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own paid social strategy end to end across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and Reddit, from budget allocation and audience targeting to performance analysis and invoice reconciliation.
  • Partner with video, UGC, and influencer/whitelisting talent to ideate and test video-first, demonstration-led creative that sells the product’s core differentiation, not just feature callouts, then report back on what’s working and why.
  • Match creative to platform: know which asset, format, and message belongs on Meta versus TikTok versus Pinterest versus Reddit, and when it needs to run.
  • Balance always-on performance campaigns with brand-building investment, recognizing that only a small share of the audience is in-market at any given time and the rest is future pipeline.
  • Maintain deep technical fluency in each platform’s targeting, delivery, and bidding algorithms, and actively direct campaign structure and signals rather than defaulting to automation.
  • Write creative briefs, give feedback and inspiration to the creative team, and audit final ad design and copy before it ships.
  • Design and execute structured experiments (creative, audience, placement, bidding) and turn results into clear, data-driven recommendations.
  • Track performance beyond last-click and platform-reported ROAS, incorporating branded search lift and CVR trends as signals that creative is working.
  • Report on strategy and outcomes weekly and monthly to marketing leadership.
  • Stay ahead of platform updates, format changes, and emerging opportunities across all supported channels.

Requirements

  • 7+ years managing paid social with a focus on e-commerce and consumer products; DTC experience strongly preferred.
  • A track record of building and scaling paid social campaigns with measurable results, ideally including video-led or brand-building creative that also performed.
  • Deep, hands-on technical expertise across Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, Pinterest Ads, and Reddit Ads, including how each platform’s delivery and bidding algorithm actually works, not just how to launch a campaign.
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort in data analysis and reporting tools; you can diagnose why a campaign is underperforming, not just that it is.
  • Experience writing creative briefs and giving direct, specific creative feedback that improves what ships.
  • A self-starter who takes ownership, communicates clearly with leadership, and is comfortable taking on more scope as the team grows.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Advertising, or a related field.
  • Bachelor’s degree

Welcome to Purple — home of the one, the only, the Purple GridTM. Ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction with bed in a box mattresses by J.D. Power, including best in both support and comfort! We’re a one-of-a-kind innovation brand that is on a mission to meaningfully improve lives by helping Every Body get the comfort they deserve and the support they need. Our premium comfort innovation products start in the bedroom and extend beyond to provide optimal comfort everywhere you go. With a variety of mattresses, bedding, bases, seat cushions, dog beds, and more, Purple is quickly becoming the iconic color of true comfort, true innovation, and truly feeling great.While most new mattress companies only focus on just a simpler mattress buying experience with the same foam mattresses, Purple is committed to simply making a better mattress (with the better buying experience, to boot!). The only mattress with the Purple GridTM, Purple is instantly soft where you want it and firm where you need it – all at once. It's the comfort you crave, the support your back needs. Plus, 1,500+ open airways help dissipate body heat rather than trapping it, so you don't sleep hot.It all started in 1989 when two engineer brothers, Tony and Terry Pearce, set out with a mission to invent technology and create local jobs that meaningfully improve the lives of everyone involved. Over the last 30+ years, the Brothers Pearce have revolutionized the comfort industry by innovating various No Pressure® cushioning materials used in everything from wheelchairs and critical care hospital beds to sporting goods and high-end mattresses. Then, in September of 2015, they successfully launched The No-Compromise Purple® Mattress on Kickstarter, and it's been uphill from there — continually inventing, improving, and creating ways to make the world a more comfortable place.
