Senior Media Buyer & Ecommerce Growth Specialist

Ecomm Growth Collective — ecommgrowthcollective.com

If you live and breathe eCommerce and Meta Ads — and you're just as comfortable talking brand growth strategy as you are inside Ads Manager — read on.

Ecomm Growth Collective is a small, high-performing agency built around two co-founders and a tight team of experts. We work with a select group of high-growth ecommerce brands and pride ourselves on delivering the very best creative strategy and growth strategy advice in New Zealand. We're not trying to be the biggest agency — we're trying to be the best, and we only want to work with the best people in the industry to do it.

You're already very good at Meta. Now you want a role that challenges you to become exceptional at ecommerce growth strategy.

You want more than campaigns to optimise and ROAS targets to hit. You want ownership. You want to work with ambitious ecommerce brands, get under the hood of their businesses, influence the creative and commercial strategy, and be trusted to make big decisions.

And you want to do it alongside other seriously good people who will challenge your thinking and make you better at what you do.

That's the opportunity at Ecomm Growth Collective.

We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Senior Meta Strategist to take ownership of a small portfolio of just 4–6 high-growth ecommerce brands.

This is a fully remote permanent full time role, built around autonomy, trust and outcomes — not where you live or how many hours you spend online. You'll have the freedom of remote work while being deeply embedded in a small, highly collaborative team of ecommerce specialists.

You won't simply be the person running Meta. You'll be the growth lead for your accounts — going deep into the numbers, understanding what's really driving performance, shaping creative direction and helping clients make smarter decisions about where their next stage of growth comes from.

You'll run Meta media buying end-to-end, but you'll also work closely with our Creative Strategist, creative production team and Google Ads Strategist to connect the dots across paid media, creative and the wider commercial picture.

This is a role for someone who wants to be challenged, wants their ideas to matter, and wants the opportunity to become one of the best ecommerce growth strategists in the industry.

If you're looking for a comfortable media buying role where you inherit some accounts, optimise what's already there and send out the monthly reports, this probably isn't it.

If you're ambitious, curious, commercially sharp and slightly obsessed with figuring out why brands grow — you'll probably love it here

On a day-to-day basis, that means you will:

1. Own the growth strategy for 4–6 Meta accounts — the single point of accountability for their performance and direction
2. Run all Meta media buying: campaign strategy, set-up, implementation, optimisation and reporting
3. Analyse account and creative performance data and translate it into strategic recommendations, not just tactical tweaks
4. Coordinate closely with our creative strategy and production team to brief, shape and evolve creative direction based on performance data
5. Work in close partnership with our Google Ads strategist to ensure a unified, cross-channel growth strategy for each client
6. Own the client relationship — from strategic briefings and reporting through to being the trusted strategic advisor on their account
7. Monitor pacing and delivery to ensure campaigns are on track against budget and growth targets
8. Deliver insight-led reports that go beyond the numbers — sharing strategic learnings and evolving the approach account by account

• Deep, proven strategic experience in ecommerce — you understand what actually drives growth for DTC brands, not just what drives clicks
• A strong track record running Meta Ads for 7- and 8-figure ecommerce brands
• Highly analytical — you make decisions based on data, and you can go deep into the numbers to find the story behind the performance
• Experience developing and owning account strategy, not just executing against a brief
• Strong understanding of creative performance and the ability to translate data into clear creative direction
• Comfortable working closely with a Google Ads strategist to build a genuinely joined-up channel strategy
• Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex performance data into clear, strategic advice for clients
• Self-motivated and comfortable with a high degree of ownership — this is a role for someone who wants full accountability for a small number of accounts, not oversight of many

• True ownership — 4–6 accounts, full strategic control, not a rotating list of campaigns to optimise
• Work directly with a tight, senior team — including both co-founders — rather than inside a large account hierarchy
• Be part of an agency built around doing the best strategic work in the New Zealand ecommerce market, not the most volume
• Work with a select group of genuinely high-growth ecommerce brands
• Close collaboration with a dedicated creative strategy and production team, and a Google Ads strategist, so you're never carrying channel strategy alone
