Media Buyer

Media Buyer – E-commerce Performance Marketing

We are looking for a senior-level Media Buyer who can take direct ownership of paid acquisition for e-commerce brands and drive measurable growth through disciplined strategy, testing, optimization, and commercial judgment.

This is not a coordinator role, not a reporting role, and not a basic ad-launching role. You will be expected to think like an elite operator who can diagnose performance issues, improve accounts, scale spend responsibly, and make strong decisions under pressure.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Paid Media Strategy & Execution

• Manage and optimize paid acquisition campaigns for e-commerce brands
• Build, launch, and manage campaigns across relevant platforms such as Meta, Google, and other performance channels where appropriate
• Structure accounts correctly for testing, scaling, and reporting
• Allocate spend based on performance, business objectives, and growth potential

Performance Optimization

• Monitor performance daily and identify inefficiencies quickly
• Improve key performance metrics such as ROAS, CPA, CAC, MER, and revenue efficiency
• Diagnose performance drops with structured reasoning instead of random guessing
• Develop and execute testing plans for audiences, creatives, offers, angles, funnels, and landing pages

Commercial Thinking

• Understand that strong media buying is not only about ad metrics
• Consider client goals, margins, average order value, customer acquisition efficiency, and scale potential
• Identify when the issue is creative, offer, funnel, tracking, landing page, or audience related
• Make decisions that improve business outcomes, not vanity metrics

Reporting & Ownership

• Maintain clear reporting and explain performance with logic
• Communicate insights, risks, and next steps clearly
• Take ownership of account outcomes instead of blaming the market, the platform, or the client by default
• Work with creative, design, CRO, and strategy teams to improve results

Testing & Growth

• Build structured testing roadmaps
• Prioritize tests by expected impact
• Scale what works and cut what does not with discipline
• Continuously refine account strategy based on learnings

Required Experience & Skills (Non-Negotiable)

• Proven experience as a Media Buyer or Performance Marketer with direct responsibility for results
• Strong experience managing paid campaigns for e-commerce brands
• Clear track record of improving account performance, not just maintaining spend
• Strong command of campaign structure, budget control, optimization, and scaling
• Ability to explain performance changes using logic, not vague language
• Strong analytical thinking and troubleshooting ability
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, agency-style environment

Strong Preference

• Experience managing meaningful ad spend at scale
• Strong direct-response mindset
• Experience collaborating with creative and landing page teams
• Strong understanding of attribution, tracking, and performance diagnosis
• Experience with brands where profitability and growth both mattered
