Media Buyer

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
