About The Position

If you're obsessed with the details, energized by volume, and want to build the systems behind campaign performance rather than just talk strategy in a room, you might be the perfect fit for our Paid Media team. As Paid Ads Manager, you'll own the execution engine behind every paid campaign we run for clients. Our Client Success Managers set the strategy and direction; you and your team control the levers, ensuring every campaign is built, launched, optimized, and audited with precision. This is a hands-on operational leadership role. You'll spend meaningful time managing the team and process, and meaningful time in the accounts yourself, catching what others miss. You'll lead a growing team of paid media specialists managing hundreds of client accounts across Meta, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and streaming platforms. The volume and complexity are real. This is a role for someone who thrives on organization, structure, and getting campaigns exactly right, not someone chasing the next big creative idea.

Requirements

Proven experience managing paid campaigns across Google Ads and Google Analytics - you can speak fluently to platform mechanics, not just outcomes
Experience managing multiple accounts or projects concurrently at real volume (100+ accounts) in an agency, ad ops, or in-house media buying environment
Prior management experience - you've led a team before and can point to how you've developed people
Proven, results-driven track record, with real data and examples to back it up, not just a description of responsibilities
Exceptionally high organizational skills and attention to detail. This role lives and dies on precision at scale
Ability to strategize how a role and team should be structured as the function grows
Comfortable working within constraints or imperfect conditions, adapting quickly as priorities shift
Direct communicator who can hold difficult conversations with clients and team members and take in a significant amount of feedback
Thrives in a fast-paced environment and moves quickly without sacrificing accuracy
Strong critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills

Nice To Haves

Hands-on client-facing experience, in addition to backend campaign execution
Experience with additional platforms beyond Google (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, NextDoor, Trade Desk, or other streaming/OTT platforms)
Experience building or scaling a department or function from the ground up
OTT / streaming media experience
Experience setting up a local buyer's platform on Google
Google certifications
Experience with Convey.dev or broader agentic AI tooling

Responsibilities

Manage and optimize backend campaign execution across Meta, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, NextDoor, Reddit, TikTok, Google, and Trade Desk (streaming/OTT)
Lead an offshore team of paid media specialists, overseeing implementation of campaign changes and auditing of client campaigns for accuracy and performance
Serve as the strategic bridge between Client Success and Marketing, sharing knowledge with clients and team members to strengthen campaign performance, without owning overall media-mix strategy (that stays with the Client Success team)
Own error rate, spend, and impression performance across the book of business, holding the team to a very low margin for error
Manage multiple projects simultaneously across a large volume of accounts, prioritizing and triaging as needed in a fast-moving environment
Coach and grow team members, having direct, honest conversations that diagnose root causes rather than surface-level fixes
Evolve your own workflow and your team's from primarily individual contributor work toward a majority people management focus as the team scales
Leverage agentic AI tooling to expand team capacity and improve campaign accuracy and speed
Partner with Client Success and Marketing to continually raise the bar on campaign quality and team knowledge
