[Hiring] Head of Paid Media @The Worksphere

Role Description

This is a player-coach position for someone who wants ownership of a large budget without giving up the day-to-day work inside the platforms.

• Set strategy across DTC channels — Meta, CTV, Search, Native, and Display.
• Stay hands-on in the accounts, reading performance data, and deciding what scales and what gets killed.
• Run the in-house creative function — writers, editors, and designers.
• Keep cost per acquisition moving down and lead quality moving up while the budget keeps growing.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in performance marketing with a track record of taking on more scope over time.
• Direct experience owning $20M+ in annual paid media spend with strong ROAS to show for it.
• Deep, hands-on fluency in Meta Ads and Connected TV at real scale.
• Solid working knowledge of Paid Search, Native, and Display.
• Experience managing a creative team — not just briefing one.
• Background in a self-funded, high-volume lead gen business (agency-side experience alone won't translate here).
• Comfort with attribution, tracking, and forecasting at a level where you can defend the numbers to a CFO.
• A history of building processes and systems, not just running campaigns inside someone else's.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience that makes the degree beside the point.

Requirements

• Full P&L-level ownership of a $20M+ annual paid media budget spanning Meta, CTV, Paid Search, Native, Display, and any new channels worth testing.
• Hands-on platform work — you're inside the ad accounts regularly, not just reviewing reports.
• Leadership of the internal creative team covering copy, video, design, and editing.
• A testing cadence that treats creative like a performance lever, not a brand exercise.
• Systems for launching, QA'ing, reporting on, and forecasting campaigns at scale.
• Executive-level reporting that ties media performance directly to business outcomes.
• Scouting and vetting new acquisition channels and audience segments.
• Building a team culture around testing velocity, accountability, and clean data.

Benefits

• Base salary of $160,000 - $175,000.
• Total on-target earnings of $200,000+ with performance bonus.
• 100% remote, U.S.-based.
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• PTO plus company holidays.
• 401(k) with employer match, where applicable.
• Direct ownership of a $20M+ media budget from day one.
• A seat at the table with executive leadership and real influence over the growth roadmap.
