Job description

About Location3

Most agencies are built for one brand talking to one audience. We are built for brands that grow through local operators, where the marketing has to work in hundreds of different local markets at once and the people spending the budget are independent owners rather than a corporate team. That is a harder problem, and it is the one we have spent twenty-five years on. We also build LOCALACT, the platform those owners use to run their own local marketing.

The opportunity

You would build, launch, optimize and report on programmatic and paid social campaigns across enterprise and multi-location accounts, working from strategy set by a Senior Media Strategist.

This is a hands-on, in-platform role focused on Meta and programmatic media buying. Accuracy, pacing, measurement, and performance improvement are central to the role.

Our clients are franchise and multi-location brands, so success comes from strong operation discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to identify risks and opportunities before they affect performance.

What you will own

• Campaign activation and management across programmatic and paid social channels
• In-platform optimization of bids, budgets, audiences, placements, inventory, and creative performance
• Budget pacing, delivery monitoring, and early identification of performance risks and opportunities
• Campaign measurement, testing, quality assurance, and tracking validation
• Platform reporting, campaign documentation, and collaboration with strategy, analytics, account, and creative teams

How you will be measured

Campaign performance against client targets. Build accuracy and quality assurance standards. Budget pacing and delivery accuracy. Timely identification of performance risks, opportunities, and optimization actions.

What we are looking for

• Five or more years hands-on digital media buying experience, including programmatic and paid social campaign activation, optimization, pacing, and reporting
• Experience with Meta Ads Manager and at least one demand-side platform; Basis experience preferred
• Strong analytical skills and understanding of campaign measurement, attribution, and performance optimization
• Understands that attention to detail, quality assurance, and accurate execution directly affect client results
• Wants to stay close to the work, develop deep platform expertise, and continuously improve performance outcomes

Where you will work

This is a Denver-based remote role. You will be asked into our Glendale office a couple of times a month for in-person collaboration. There is no fixed schedule. Our office is at 720 South Colorado Boulevard, Glendale, Colorado.

Compensation and benefits

$78,650 to $103,500 base depending on experience. This is a full-time, non-exempt position. Eligible for the annual company bonus, paid on company performance.

• Medical, dental and vision cover.
• A 401(k) with company match.
• Wellbeing stipends, paid time off, and support for remote working.
