About this role
We're looking for a Media Buyer & Creative Strategist who knows that great advertising is about more than pushing buttons in Ads Manager. You understand the relationship between creative, data, audiences, and performance—and you know how to turn those insights into campaigns that drive sales.
The Role
As our Media Buyer & Creative Strategist, you'll own the strategy, execution, and optimization of paid advertising while also helping shape the creative direction behind our ads.
You'll analyze what's working, identify why it's working, develop new creative concepts to test, and work closely with our creative team, content creators, and other marketing partners to turn those ideas into high-performing ads.
We're looking for someone who is data-driven, creative, curious, and obsessed with finding what makes customers click—and buy.
What You'll Do
Media Buying & Campaign Management
You don't just look at an ad and ask "Did it work?"
You ask:
"Why did it work?"
"Who did it work for?"
"What should we test next?"
"How do we turn this into 10 more winning ads?"
You're equally comfortable looking at a spreadsheet of performance data and brainstorming a killer hook for a new TikTok ad.
You don't wait for someone to tell you what to test. You're constantly looking for the next opportunity to improve performance.
