Paid Media Manager
Permanent Employee, Full-time, Remote, PST Shift
Job Summary:
Seeking a data-driven Paid Media Manager to own strategy, execution, and analysis across paid social, paid search, YouTube, CTV/Linear, and podcasts. You will manage budgets and pacing, build cross-channel reporting, partner with creative and analytics on rapid testing, and scale efficient acquisition in the US and international markets. This is a hands-on role responsible for daily revenue, ad spend, and efficiency tracking, with a primary focus on paid social.
Responsibilities:
Build, launch, and optimize full-funnel campaigns across Meta, Google, YouTube, and additional channels (CTV, Linear, podcasts), hitting CAC/ROAS goals.
Own monthly/periodic/daily budgeting, forecasting, and pacing for US and international markets; maintain revenue/spend/efficiency sheets.
Develop and maintain full-funnel measurement: creative reporting, incrementality/holdout tests, and performance dashboards; triangulate insights from attribution and analytics tools.
Implement and QA tracking and attribution (UTMs, pixels, GA4/server-side) in partnership with analytics; ensure clean data for decisioning.
Drive structured creative testing roadmaps; brief, iterate, and scale winning concepts with growth and creative teams.
Manage internal and external media buyers/agencies; enforce channel best practices and budget adherence.
Build lightweight automations and scripts (e.g., Sheets, platform rules, AI tooling) to streamline reporting, budget tracking, and test ops.
Stand up and systematize paid-influencer workflows; expand beyond Meta into YouTube/TikTok while standardizing reporting and budgeting.
Partner cross-functionally (eComm, brand, wholesale, analytics) on launches and seasonal moments; communicate results, risks, and next steps clearly and often.
Contribute to international playbooks; ensure consistent ways of working across markets.
Requirements:
3–5 years of hands-on paid media experience with proven ROI/scale across paid social and search.
Expert working knowledge of Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads; familiarity with additional channels (YouTube, TikTok, AppLovin, etc.).
Strong analytical chops: comfortable in dashboards and spreadsheets; experienced with incrementality testing and creative performance analysis.
Experience with attribution/measurement tools (e.g., Northbeam, post-purchase surveys, geo-testing tools like Haus, server-side tracking like Edgemesh) and GA4.
Demonstrated success partnering with creative on structured testing and rapid iteration.
Clear, proactive communicator who thrives in fast environments and can manage internal/external buyers.
Bias to automation and leverage (Sheets formulas, basic scripts, or AI tooling) for speed and scale.
Nice to have: passion for food and cooking; experience in culinary or consumer goods.
