Job Summary

Own and optimize paid media for two brands, including strategy, testing, attribution, reporting, and partner management.

  • Define budgets and pacing; drive CAC, MER and payback; manage creative testing and briefs.
  • Collaborate with content and agencies to turn insights into scalable campaigns.
  • Lead measurement and reporting to inform quarterly channel plans and partnerships.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Run paid media day to day across two brands: campaign structure, budget pacing, bid strategy, and where every incremental dollar goes.
  • Own new-customer CAC, blended MER and payback for paid, and know the difference between what the platform reports and what actually moved.
  • Iterate upon attribution and incrementality
  • Build and own the weekly paid media report: spend, efficiency, new vs. returning, winners and kills, by brand.
  • Recommend the channel plan and budget each quarter, with the evidence behind it.
  • Own the creative testing system end to end: what gets tested, how it's read, when it's killed, how winners get iterated.
  • Write performance briefs the content team can shoot. You bring the angle, the audience and the proof; they make the work.
  • Set test velocity and winner-rate targets and hold the pipeline to them.
  • Use AI tooling to expand testing throughput where it helps, and know where it doesn't.
  • Scale what works on Meta and stand up Google, TikTok and affiliate on evidence, not hope.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in paid media, with meaningful time at a DTC or e-commerce brand or performance agency.
  • Deep, current hands-on fluency in Meta Ads Manager: structure, bidding, creative and audience testing.
  • Command of ROAS, CAC, MER, LTV, payback, incrementality and attribution — and the ability to validate what drove performance before scaling.
  • Comfort with raw data: warehouse tools or SQL, not just platform dashboards.
  • Experience writing briefs for a creative team and working with agencies or freelancers.

Preferred

  • Experience advertising in a restricted or regulated category (hemp/THC, alcohol, supplements).
  • TikTok Ads, Google (Search, Shopping, PMax) or affiliate/creator platforms run at scale.
  • Apparel or drop-cadence experience.

Benefits

  • Benefits include health insurance, 401(k), and paid family leave.
