Job description

About Zabota

Zabota is a top-ranked global recruitment firm, recognized as a Top HR Staffing Company by Clutch in 2025. We specialize in helping high-growth U.S. brands build elite, remote-first teams. Our mission is clear: connect world-class talent from LATAM, Europe, and beyond with the most ambitious companies in the world.

About Our Client

Our client is a California-based, industry-leading omnichannel marketing agency for cannabis, peptides, supplements and high-risk e‑commerce brands. They specialize in paid media, high-converting creatives, landing pages, and full-funnel email and SMS systems, helping brands scale revenue while remaining compliant across major advertising platforms.

About the Role

We’re not looking for someone who can launch a campaign and call it a day. We need an operator who can scale a $50/day test into a 7‑figure account, knows why a 2.1 ROAS on Meta might actually be a 3.4 blended ROAS once you pull the Triple Whale data, and isn’t scared off the second a peptide or mushroom brand hits the docket.

What You’ll Own

• A portfolio of 5–10+ eCom brands across restricted and high-risk verticals
• Scaling Meta campaigns from $1k/day to $20k+/day without lighting cash on fire when CPMs spike
• Testing roadmaps — creative angles, hooks, audiences, LP variants — and actually reading the data afterward
• Briefing the creative team on winning UGC, statics, and VSL‑style ads
• Clean reporting via Triple Whale, Hyros, or Northbeam — and knowing when the in‑platform numbers are lying to you
• Business Manager hygiene across multiple ad accounts, pages, pixels, and domains

Must‑Haves

• Minimum $3M+ in personally‑managed Meta ad spend (be ready to show screenshots)
• Proven experience in restricted verticals — supplements, peptides, cannabis/CBD, nootropics, mushrooms, or similar. You know what gets flagged, how to write compliant copy that still converts, and how to keep accounts alive
• Attribution fluency — Triple Whale (preferred), Hyros, or Northbeam. You understand MER, nCAC, post‑purchase surveys, and why blended beats platform‑reported
• Landing page CVR chops — you can look at a page and tell us why it’s converting at 1.8% instead of 4%
• Creative judgment — you can brief ads, not just spend on them. You know the difference between a hook problem and a body problem
• A testing brain — hypotheses, significance, learnings. Not “vibes”

Bonus Points

• TikTok Ads and Google Ads experience
• Strong opinions on ASC vs manual that you can actually defend
