About the role

The Paid Media Specialist will be responsible for managing, optimizing, and scaling paid media campaigns across multiple platforms to drive direct bookings, high-quality leads, and brand visibility. This role requires a data-driven marketer with experience in performance marketing, strong analytical skills, and an understanding of the luxury travel and / or hospitality consumer sectors.

You will own campaign execution end-to-end—from strategy and setup to daily optimization and reporting—and work closely with our brand, revenue management, and creative teams to ensure alignment with business goals.

What you'll do

Campaign Strategy & Execution

• Develop, manage, and optimize paid media campaigns across platforms including Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and programmatic channels.
• Execute full-funnel demand generation strategies to increase direct bookings and reduce reliance on third-party OTAs.
• Conduct keyword research, build audiences, and create campaign structures that maximize ROAS and booking conversion.

Performance Analysis & Optimization

• Monitor daily performance to identify optimizations around bids, creatives, landing pages, and targeting.
• Leverage A / B testing across ad messaging, visuals, and audience segments.
• Track core metrics (ROAS, CPA, CTR, CVR, LTV, cost per booking) and adjust strategies based on data insights.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with creative teams to develop high-performing ad assets tailored to luxury travel audiences.
• Work with Revenue Management to align paid strategies with pricing, promotions, occupancy needs, and seasonal trends.
• Collaborate with brand and content teams to maintain consistent messaging and storytelling across channels.

Reporting & Insights

• Build weekly and monthly performance reports with actionable insights.
• Communicate results and recommendations to leadership clearly and effectively.
• Maintain performance dashboards and campaign documentation.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in paid media, performance marketing, or digital advertising.
• Proven track record managing campaigns with significant budgets and revenue responsibility.
• Experience with OTA displacement strategies (e.g., driving direct bookings over Airbnb / VRBO).
• Strong understanding of SEO, landing page optimization, and CRO principles.
• Experience with Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and at least one additional paid channel.
• Strong proficiency in analytics tools (Google Analytics 4, Looker / Looker Studio, attribution platforms).
• Deep understanding of direct response, conversion tracking, and full-funnel optimization.
• Experience in eCommerce, hospitality, vacation rentals, and luxury travel is strongly preferred.
• Creative mindset paired with strong quantitative and analytical abilities.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
