About the Role

If you're obsessed with the details, energized by volume, and want to build the systems behind campaign performance rather than just talk strategy in a room, you might be the perfect fit for our Paid Media team.

As Paid Media Manager, you'll own the execution engine behind every paid campaign we run for clients. Our Client Success Managers set the strategy and direction; you and your team control the levers, ensuring every campaign is built, launched, optimized, and audited with precision. This is a hands-on operational leadership role. You'll spend meaningful time managing the team and process, and meaningful time in the accounts yourself, catching what others miss.

You'll lead a growing team of paid media specialists managing hundreds of client accounts across Meta, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and streaming platforms. The volume and complexity are real. This is a role for someone who thrives on organization, structure, and getting campaigns exactly right, not someone chasing the next big creative idea.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and optimize backend campaign execution across Meta, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, NextDoor, Reddit, TikTok, Google, and Trade Desk (streaming/OTT)

• Lead an offshore team of paid media specialists, overseeing implementation of campaign changes and auditing of client campaigns for accuracy and performance

• Serve as the strategic bridge between Client Success and Marketing, sharing knowledge with clients and team members to strengthen campaign performance, without owning overall media-mix strategy (that stays with the Client Success team)

• Own error rate, spend, and impression performance across the book of business, holding the team to a very low margin for error

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously across a large volume of accounts, prioritizing and triaging as needed in a fast-moving environment

• Coach and grow team members, having direct, honest conversations that diagnose root causes rather than surface-level fixes

• Evolve your own workflow and your team's from primarily individual contributor work toward a majority people management focus as the team scales
