Job Summary

Own and scale Siege's paid social service line with Reddit at the core. Lead strategy, setup, optimization, and reporting for client campaigns, build repeatable playbooks and QA standards, and drive pipeline via retargeting and cross-channel campaigns while hiring and mentoring the first associate to scale the practice.

  • Own Reddit ads strategy, setup, and reporting for Siege clients
  • Build playbooks, attribution, and reporting cadence for a repeatable service
  • Lead paid social efforts to feed the sales pipeline and support prospect engagements

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Reddit ads (primary): Strategy, setup, optimization, and reporting for Siege clients. Building the playbook, pricing scaffolds, and reporting cadence from zero.
  • Siege's paid social: Retargeting engaged leads and running Meta/LinkedIn campaigns that feed our own sales pipeline.
  • Sales support: Joining prospect calls to scope and sell paid social engagements alongside the growth team.
  • Team building: Hiring your first associate when Reddit ads revenue justifies it, then training and managing them to Siege's senior-led standard. Owning and executing until then.
  • Service infrastructure: The templates, QA processes, attribution approach, and reporting standards that turn paid social into a repeatable, sellable service line.

Requirements

  • 5+ years running paid social campaigns in an agency environment — ideally a mix of Reddit, LinkedIn, and Meta
  • Hands-on Reddit Ads Manager experience (Conversation Ads, Promoted Posts, custom audiences) and a point of view on who the platform is and isn’t a fit for
  • B2B and B2C experience, especially SaaS, ecommerce and fintech. You know the difference between optimizing for clicks and optimizing for pipeline.
  • Client-facing comfort. You can walk a VP of Marketing through a quarterly review without flinching.
  • Strong written communication. Clients see your work directly; we don't have account managers translating between you and them.
  • Builder energy. You’re excited about helping build and scale a service line, not just executing someone else’s plan. You can execute and advise on campaigns to keep the department profitable early on.

Preferred

  • Hands-on Reddit Ads Manager experience (Conversation Ads, Promoted Posts, custom audiences)
  • Experience with ChatGPT ads
  • Built or scaled a paid social practice inside an agency before
  • Familiarity with B2B attribution headaches — multi-touch, dark social, self-reported attribution
  • Past client network in paid social within our client base

Benefits

  • Remote-friendly with a preference for Austin or willingness to travel for periodic team gatherings
  • Full benefits for employee, including health/dental/vision and unlimited PTO
