Job description

This role is open to candidates based in LATAM, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Please note that as this role supports U.S.-based clients, candidates must be available to work during U.S. business hours aligned with the client’s time zone.

The Paid Media Specialist will own paid social and video programs across LinkedIn, YouTube, and Meta from strategy through execution, optimization, and reporting. This role will manage audience and bid strategy, budget allocation, creative versioning, campaign execution, structured testing, and performance reporting through to pipeline.

This is a hands‑on, in‑house role. The Paid Media Specialist will directly build, launch, and optimize campaigns rather than manage an external agency. The role also involves daily use of Claude and AI‑powered skills and automations to accelerate creative production, analysis, and reporting.

The position is specifically focused on paid social and video. Paid search platforms, including Google and Microsoft, are not within the scope of the role.

• Run an ongoing structured A/B testing program.

• Develop clear hypotheses and sound test designs across audiences, creative, offers, and landing pages.

• Document test outcomes and translate results into actionable changes.

• Maintain an ongoing record of what was tested, what performed best, and what changes should be made as a result.

• Support landing page and conversion rate optimization initiatives when applicable.

Performance Reporting & Analysis
