Role Description
As our Media Buyer, you own paid acquisition end-to-end β Meta primarily, with freedom to crack new channels when the opportunity is right. That means creative strategy, production pod leadership, funnel optimization, and performance reporting all live under your roof. You'll have AI tools, a full-stack developer, and real budget. What we need is someone with the judgment to deploy it profitably.
What You'll Own
-
Full-Funnel Paid Acquisition:
Own strategy and execution on Meta, with latitude to test emerging channels. Translate business goals into channel plans, budgets, and testing roadmaps. The metrics that matter: revenue, MER/NCROAS, CAC, AOV, and LTV.
-
Creative Strategy & Production:
Lead the creative engine β concept pipeline, hook development, angle testing, offer framing, and format iteration across awareness stages (lo-fi UGC through polished DR edits and statics). Run a high-velocity testing cadence: concept β variation β scale β refresh. Recruit and manage video editors as the team grows; our internal AI video production tool is in development and will further remove production bottlenecks as it ships.
-
CRO & Offer Optimization:
Drive conversion rate improvement across landing pages, PDPs, quizzes, pre-sells, bundles, and checkout. Structure and execute experiments on offers, pricing, page layouts, and merchandising. Success looks like +20% CVR from baseline by Month 6 with 4β6 live A/B tests running at all times.
-
Performance Systems & Reporting:
Build and maintain clean measurement: UTMs, CAPI/Stape, GA4, attribution triangulation (platform data + blended models + post-purchase surveys), and creative-level scorecards. Weekly pacing reviews, daily performance checks, product-level playbooks β you own the infrastructure that makes good decisions possible.
-
Strategic Collaboration:
High autonomy within defined guardrails (profit targets, quality standards). Cross-functional alignment with offers, promotions, inventory, and retention teams. You set the strategy β you're not waiting on direction.
