Paid Media Buyer, Google and Meta Ads (Experienced or Aspiring) | Remote, South Africa | Prooven

About Prooven
Prooven trains, tests and verifies South African specialists, then manages them for US companies. We do not just interview people. We have them prove the work in practical assessments, then award a credential employers can trust. Our pilot cohort is small and selective.
The opportunity
We are looking for Paid Media Buyers at every stage: people who already do this work well, and people who want to build the skill. A Paid Media Buyer plans, launches, tracks and optimizes paid campaigns, and reports on them clearly.
If you are already an expert, you can prove it and earn a credential employers trust. If screening shows you are ready, you may go straight to our practical assessment. If you are earlier in your journey, you will be trained and tested in a 4-week programme. Either way the standard is the same: you prove the work. It is free for shortlisted candidates. If you pass, you earn the Prooven Verified credential and may be matched to a US client role, managed by Prooven with a 30-day paid probation. Experienced buyers with a strong client record can progress to the Expert tier.
What you will learn and prove
- Plan campaign structure, audiences, budgets and goals for a client
- Build and launch campaigns on Google Ads and Meta Ads
- Set up conversion tracking and measurement so results can be trusted
- Brief creative and write ad copy that fits the offer
- Run structured tests and make optimization decisions you can explain
- Report weekly in plain language: what happened, why, and what you will do next
- Work within agreed budgets and flag problems early
How you will be assessed
You demonstrate campaign and measurement thinking on supervised work with a set budget and a defined goal. Experienced practitioners grade the structure, tracking, optimization decisions and written report against a rubric. A senior reviewer approves campaigns and spend is capped. No results are ever promised.
Who we are looking for
- Strong written and spoken English
- Comfortable with numbers and curious about why a campaign performs the way it does
- Careful and honest with other people's money
- Comfortable learning, taking feedback and asking good questions
- Reliable laptop, internet and a professional working setup
- Available for schedules agreed with US clients
- Positive, solution-driven, and willing to own problems instead of hiding them
- Already running Google Ads or Meta Ads campaigns? We want to hear from you. New to it? You are welcome too, if the aptitude and mindset are there
The process
Apply, screening, shortlist, then one of two routes: 4-week training and testing, or, if screening shows you already work at this level, straight to the practical assessment. Then verification, and placement with a 30-day paid probation.
What to know up front
- Free for shortlisted candidates. You are never charged for training, testing or placement.
- This is selective. Not everyone who applies is trained, and placement is never guaranteed.
