About the Role:

We’re looking for an Associate Paid Media Manager to support the execution and optimization of digital advertising campaigns across social, search, and programmatic platforms.

This is a strong fit for an early‑career paid media professional who is detail‑oriented, analytical, and excited to be a part of the fast‑paced world of politics. You’ll work closely with senior media team members to help build, launch, monitor, and report on campaigns while developing hands‑on experience across platforms, audiences, creative trafficking, pacing, and performance analysis. There are a number of growth opportunities for a self‑starter with a pronounced work ethic and considerable curiosity.

What You’ll Do:

• Assist with campaign setup, launch, trafficking, and day‑to‑day maintenance across social, search, and programmatic platforms
• Monitor campaign pacing and performance, flagging issues and opportunities for optimization
• Implement optimizations under the guidance of senior media team members
• Pull platform performance reports and help translate data into clear insights for external partners
• Support the development of media plans, audience targeting recommendations, and platform‑level execution strategies
• Coordinate ad creative assets, copy updates, tracking links, and trafficking requirements
• Assist with tagging, conversion tracking, QA, and campaign launch checks
• Help build clear, client‑ready reporting materials and performance summaries
• Work across multiple concurrent campaigns while keeping details organized and deadlines on track
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure campaigns are executed accurately, efficiently, and on time

What We’re Looking For:

• 1–3 years of experience in digital marketing, paid media, campaign advertising, or a related field
• Familiarity with platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and/or programmatic DSPs such as The Trade Desk or DV360
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with campaign data, spreadsheets, and reporting outputs
• Basic understanding of digital advertising metrics, pacing, optimization, and performance reporting
• Ability to learn quickly, apply feedback, and stay organized in a fast‑moving environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Interest in political media, advocacy, public affairs, or campaign advertising
• Experience with political campaigns, advocacy organizations, or agency environments is a plus
• Familiarity with Google Analytics or similar analytics/reporting tools is a plus

Perks of Working at AdVictory:

• Flexible, open PTO policy
• Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Commuter benefits and travel reimbursement, including rideshares for late work nights
• Hands‑on training in political digital advertising, campaign strategy, and media execution
• Opportunity to grow quickly while working on high‑profile, fast‑moving political and advocacy campaigns
• Salary: $60,000 - $90,000 base
