Senior Media Buyer

# Senior Media Buyer (Remote)

## About the role
We're a small, close-knit performance marketing agency running paid media for high-profile direct-to-consumer brands, including publicly traded and celebrity-backed brands. Most of our team has worked together for 7+ years, and we move fast, work autonomously and let data drive our decisions.

We're looking for a hands-on Media Buyer who's comfortable managing very large ad budgets. You'll start by running a couple of accounts and, as trust builds, grow into overseeing performance across the whole portfolio. We regularly turn down major brands because we're at capacity, so the right person will help us take on bigger accounts.

## What you'll do
- Own the day-to-day running of paid media accounts: launches, budget pacing, scaling and optimization
- Scale big budgets confidently, especially through peak seasons like Black Friday and Cyber Monday
- Look across all accounts, spot where attention is needed and fix it without being asked
- Go beyond in-platform data and use the website, Google Trends and market signals to explain why performance is moving
- Analyze reports and trend lines from our data warehouse with our analytics lead, and act on them
- Plan ahead when accounts are healthy, for example around big retail events
- Run structured creative and campaign tests, prioritized by impact, and iterate quickly
- Brief clients' in-house creative teams and our ad builder on new creatives based on what's performing
- Cover and monitor accounts while senior team members step away during peak periods
- Over-communicate: daily updates, early flags, and a heads-up if you'll be unavailable

## What you bring
- Proven experience managing large ad budgets, ideally seven figures a month or six figures a day
- Deep, hands-on Meta Ads expertise, since that's where we spend most of our time
- DTC and ecommerce experience
- Strong command of Meta campaign structure and scaling: ABO/CBO, vertical scaling, and bid and cost caps
- Strong analytical skills, with gut instinct backed by data
- A creative eye: angle research, concept ideas and clear creative briefs
- The ability to work with minimal supervision, ask good questions and direct yourself
- Speed: you launch and iterate fast, without days of back and forth
- Excellent written and spoken English

## Nice to have
- Google Ads, TikTok (including TikTok Shop), Pinterest, Reddit or Microsoft Ads experience
- Attribution tools like Northbeam or Triple Whale
- Understanding of attribution models, such as click vs. view-through and incrementality or geo testing
- Experience managing many accounts at once
- Interest in upper-funnel growth strategy, not just conversion campaigns
- Interest in growing into an oversight or lead role

## Working details
- Full time and fully remote
- Must work full US Pacific Time (PST) business hours
- Reports directly to the agency founder and works closely with the analytics lead, a senior media buyer and a full-time ad builder
