About the role

  • Lead paid social strategy and campaign execution across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and emerging platforms.
  • Own campaign builds, launches, QA, ongoing optimization, and budget pacing - start to finish
  • Implement data-driven optimizations across creative, audiences, structure, and bidding - with clear documentation of rationale
  • Serve as a primary client contact - run performance calls, deliver clear recaps, and proactively communicate wins, risks, and recommendations
  • Write clear, compelling performance recaps and updates that translate data into business-relevant narratives
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with creative, analytics, and internal leads to deliver integrated growth programs

What we're looking for

  • 3-5+ years of hands-on paid social experience, senior enough to operate with full independence
  • Expert-level Meta and TikTok platform fluency; YouTube and Pinterest a plus
  • Strong analytical instincts - you read performance, form a hypothesis, take action, and document what you learned
  • Detail-oriented with a track record of error-free execution across complex account structures and larger budgets
  • Proactive and autonomous - you surface issues before being asked and bring solutions alongside problems
  • Experience with measurement & attribution frameworks across the funnel (brand lift, sales lift, search lift, e-commerce) a plus.

Qualifications

  • Accounts are running cleanly - launched on time, structured correctly, budgets pacing accurately
  • Optimizations are consistent, thoughtful, and documented - the team can follow your logic
  • Clients feel informed and confident - you're proactively sharing updates, not just responding to requests
  • Performance recaps are clear and strategic, not just metrics exports
  • You're flagging strategic opportunities and risks without being asked
