Job Summary

Own and optimize a data-driven Growth Engine for high-velocity DTC brands, leading media buying, creative feedback loops, and rigorous testing at scale.

  • Direct responsibility for growth strategy, budgeting, and team performance.
  • Drive decisions by MER and Contribution Margin filters over vanity platform metrics.
  • Scale campaigns responsibly while maintaining profit and data integrity.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the Growth Engine
  • Oversee the media buying strategy for high-velocity DTC brands, managing aggressive monthly budgets while maintaining efficiency.
  • Shift the focus from "Platform ROAS" (vanity metrics) to "MER" (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) and "Contribution Margin." You care about real profit, not just what Facebook claims it generated.
  • Architect complex scaling structures that allow us to 10x spend without tanking CPA.
  • Scientific Media Buying
  • Implement rigorous A/B testing protocols for audiences, bid strategies (Cost Caps vs. Lowest Cost), and landing pages.
  • Master the technical side of growth: CAPI integrations, pixel hygiene, offline conversion tracking, and multi-touch attribution.
  • Diagnose funnel leaks instantly. If the CTR is high but the Conversion Rate is low, you know exactly which lever to pull.
  • Feed the Creative Loop
  • Act as the "Truth Teller" to the Creative Department. You will provide the hard data that dictates what the studio shoots next.

Requirements

  • The "Quant" Marketer
  • 7+ years of experience in paid social media buying (Meta/TikTok) or growth marketing leadership.
  • You dream in spreadsheets. You understand the relationship between CPM, CTR, CR, and CPA better than anyone else in the room.
  • A High-Volume Scaler
  • You have experience managing monthly ad spend in the 6-figure and 7-figure range. $500/day budgets don't scare you; they bore you.
  • You understand that "Creative is the new Targeting," and you know how to structure ad accounts to let the creative do the heavy lifting.
  • A Technical Operator
  • You aren't afraid of the backend. You understand how iOS14+ changed the landscape and you know how to triangulate data using tools like Triple Whale, Northbeam, or GA4 to find the truth.
  • You are calm under pressure. When an ad account gets disabled or a pixel breaks, you fix it.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation: $80,000-100,000/year.
  • High-Impact Work: Manage millions in ad spend for high-growth DTC brands where your decisions directly impact the P&L.
  • Relentless Innovation: Work at the cutting edge of AI and Creative Performance.
  • Culture of Scale: Join a team that moves fast, tests constantly, and celebrates the wins.
