Paid Media Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Paid Media Manager to plan, launch, and optimize paid media campaigns that drive measurable results for our clients. This is a remote role based in New England.

Requirements

• Agency Experience: 3+ years managing paid media at a digital or performance marketing agency. Candidates without agency experience will not be considered.

• Platform Depth: Hands-on expertise in Google Ads (Search, YouTube, Performance Max) and Meta Ads Manager. Experience with connected TV platforms and programmatic a strong plus.

• Budget Management at Scale: Comfortable managing significant paid media budgets across multiple clients simultaneously, with a track record of accurate pacing and strong performance outcomes.

• Daily Discipline: You check your campaigns every day. You catch overspend, underspend, and performance anomalies early, and you act on them without being asked.

• Reporting Infrastructure: You build systems, not spreadsheets. You've set up automated dashboards and reporting workflows that reduce manual work and improve visibility.

• Data Storytelling: You don't just report numbers. You explain what happened, why it happened, and what you're doing about it, in language clients actually understand.

• Strategic Conviction: You form opinions about what's working and what isn't, and you make recommendations with confidence, including the hard ones.

• AI-Integrated Workflow: You're using AI tools to work smarter, whether for research, reporting, copy testing, or strategy, and you can speak to how it's made your work better.

• Multi-Industry Fluency: Comfortable managing media for clients across different industries, adapting strategy and messaging to different audiences and objectives.

• New England-Based: This is a hybrid role with set in-office days and occasional in-person client collaboration. Must be located in New England.

• Work Style: You're in the platforms daily. Monitoring, adjusting, and staying ahead of issues is just how you work.

• You treat client budgets like your own. Every dollar has a job to do and you make sure it does it.

• You communicate before you're asked. If something is off, your clients and team know about it from you first.

• You take ownership of results. If a campaign is yours, you track performance closely and stay accountable for outcomes.

• You build systems. You've automated the repetitive work so you can spend your time on the things that actually move the needle.

• You collaborate and take initiative. You work closely with strategists, creatives, and marketers, but you don't wait for direction to move work forward.

• You're analytical and curious. You look beyond the numbers to understand what's driving performance and how to improve it.

• You take the work seriously. Not yourself.
