Senior Media Buyer

About the role

Take over performance marketing for a brand spending well into seven figures a month, and build the media strategy that's currently missing. You'll work directly with the founders and the creative team, own the testing cadence, and take this account from reactive optimization to a real scaling engine. This is a full-time, remote contractor role.

Responsibilities

• Own paid media strategy end-to-end across Meta, Google, Axon, and Taboola
• Audit current tracking and spend to flag exactly where budget is being wasted
• Optimize strictly against new-customer efficiency metrics (NC ROAS, NCPA), not blended ROAS
• Run the weekly creative testing cadence alongside the creative lead and strategist
• Build and tighten the pipeline from creative testing to budget scaling
• Reallocate budget toward what's actually proven to work
• Report directly on account performance and collaborate closely with the creative team and founders

Requirements

• Experience managing $5M+ ad spend paid media campaigns for DTC/ecommerce brands
• Understanding of how subscription economics change what "performance" actually means
• Strong experience with Meta Ads and Google Ads
• Fluency in Triple Whale and comfort owning tracking and attribution setups
• Optimization focus on new-customer efficiency (NC ROAS, NCPA), not blended metrics
• Ability to build a media strategy from scratch, not just execute an existing one

Benefits

• Real ownership from day one – build the missing media strategy, not just execute someone else's playbook
• Direct access to the founders – work closely with founders and creative strategist on what to test, scale, and kill
• Meaningful budget to work with – manage a paid media engine spending well over $2M a month across four channels
• Performance bonuses – compensation includes bonuses tied to performance
• Full remote flexibility – timezone is not a constraint
