ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our client is a growth-focused digital marketing agency that partners with emerging and established e-commerce brands to build profitable, scalable growth. Rather than treating marketing channels in isolation, the agency brings together strategy, paid media, creative, website, content, email, and retention to create integrated growth systems that increase conversions, strengthen customer lifetime value, and improve profitability. Its approach combines rigorous analysis, tailored strategies, and collaborative long-term partnerships, giving clients the support of a marketing team that operates as an extension of their business.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Paid Media Buyer to manage and scale campaigns across a portfolio of primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce clients, with some lead-generation accounts. Working with media strategists, account managers, and creative teams, you will own day-to-day execution across Meta and Google while supporting platforms such as TikTok and Pinterest as needed. Although strategists lead the high-level direction and primary client relationships, you will be expected to think critically, contribute recommendations, and connect campaign performance to broader business goals.

You will proactively test audiences, creatives, budgets, and campaign structures; apply strong media measurement principles; and translate data into actionable insights. AI tools will support analysis, reporting, forecasting, creative briefing, and optimization. Over time, there is an opportunity to grow into a more strategic and client-facing position, including a Media Strategist or Creative Strategist path.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• - Paid Social Campaign Execution: Plan, build, manage, and scale campaigns across Meta, with opportunities to support TikTok, Pinterest, and other emerging social platforms.
• - Paid Search Management: Manage and optimize Google Search, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns, balancing paid search and paid social based on each account’s needs.
• - Account Portfolio Management: Own day-to-day execution across multiple e-commerce and select lead-generation accounts, including high-spend, creative-intensive brands.
• - Growth and Performance Optimization: Monitor performance, identify opportunities, and proactively test audiences, creatives, budgets, and campaign structures to drive profitable growth beyond platform-level metrics.
• - Media Measurement, Reporting, and Insights: Analyze and communicate performance using appropriate attribution and measurement approaches, including MTA, MMM concepts, conversion-lift testing, and incrementality; translate findings into clear trends, challenges, forecasts, scenarios, and recommended next steps for strategists and clients.
• - AI-Enabled Execution: Use AI and automation tools to strengthen account analysis, reporting, forecasting, scenario planning, creative briefing, auditing, optimization, and overall workflow efficiency.
• - Strategic and Creative Support: Work closely with media strategists and creative teams, contribute informed recommendations, and help develop effective AI-assisted ad copy and creative direction for specialist review.
• - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with the Director of Paid Media, media strategists, account managers, and creative teams to execute client goals, respond to ad hoc needs, and support continued account growth.

COMPETENCIES AND QUALIFICATIONS

MUST-HAVE

• - Strong hands-on experience managing, optimizing, and scaling paid social campaigns, particularly on Meta.

• - Strong understanding of media measurement and attribution, including MTA, MMM concepts, conversion-lift testing, and incrementality.
• - Experience managing multiple client accounts, preferably within an agency environment.
• - Advanced practical proficiency with AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude for analysis, reporting, forecasting, and workflow efficiency.
• - Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

• - Experience supporting brands in apparel, supplements, wellness, or lead-generation industries.
