Paid Media Lead specializing in social advertising to build and lead a team for e-commerce brands. Focused on analysis, client relationships, and strategic marketing execution.
Responsibilities
Serve as the primary strategic contact for a portfolio of e-commerce clients, with a focus on paid social performance
Lead performance review calls, QBRs, and strategy sessions — communicating clearly with founders and marketing leads who may not be media buyers themselves
Translate complex performance data into clear, actionable narratives that build trust and drive client decisions
Identify growth opportunities, present recommendations proactively, and earn client confidence through consistent results
Own paid social strategy and execution across Meta (primary), TikTok, and Pinterest — including campaign architecture, audience strategy, creative testing frameworks, and budget allocation
Apply your paid search knowledge (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads) to support and collaborate with the SEM team — including Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube, and branded/non-branded search — without owning that department
Build and maintain testing frameworks that drive consistent learnings across social accounts
Stay ahead of platform changes, algorithm shifts, and emerging ad formats — and translate those insights into strategy
Build the playbooks, processes, and reporting standards that will define how the social advertising department operates
Partner with Project Management, SEM team, and Accounts team to ensure cross-channel alignment and a cohesive client experience
Document best practices and create onboarding frameworks so the department is ready to scale when the time comes
As the team grows, you'll have the opportunity to hire, mentor, and lead social media buyers — but for now, the focus is on doing great work and building the infrastructure to support that growth
Own paid social performance reporting — with visibility into search data to inform a unified view of account health
Use data to drive strategic decisions, not just report on what happened
Develop and refine attribution frameworks in collaboration with the analytics team
Set and monitor KPIs for the social advertising department — ROAS, CPA, contribution margin, and beyond
