Senior Media Specialist, Paid Social

Monks • Los Angeles, CA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Media Transformation team helps clients navigate what's next in media. Rather than operating as a traditional media buying team, we pair hands-on platform execution with operational strategy, consulting, and emerging technology, helping brands modernize how media is planned, activated, measured, and optimized. Campaign execution is still at the core of what we do, but we go further: constantly testing new capabilities, from AI-powered workflows to emerging platform features, and turning what we learn into practical systems that help clients work smarter and move faster.

Requirements

• 5+ years managing paid social campaigns with hands-on experience managing $500K+ monthly budgets across at least 2 platforms (e.g., Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit).
• Understands how media, creative, audiences, and measurement work together — and the difference between improving platform metrics and improving business outcomes.
• Navigates ambiguity and makes informed decisions without having all the answers.
• Has a track record of improving processes and can explain complex platform decisions to both practitioners and executives.
• Prioritizes competing priorities while maintaining high-quality work.
• Enjoys mentoring others and is driven by curiosity, actively learning about emerging platform capabilities, AI, automation, and industry trends.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working across all paid social platforms.
• Familiarity with social measurement, attribution, and incrementality.
• Experience partnering with creative teams on testing strategies.
• Experience implementing automation or AI-enabled workflows.
• Experience working with enterprise clients or large-scale media programs.

Responsibilities

• Own campaign activation from start to finish
• Build, launch, QA, and optimize paid social campaigns across multiple platforms.
• Monitor pacing, delivery, performance, and budgets — troubleshooting issues before they impact results.
• Drive optimizations through structured testing, not just toggling budgets, and prioritize work based on business impact rather than urgency alone.
• Own client communications through regular meetings, performance reporting, and strategic presentations.
• Turn insights into action
• Analyze campaign performance to identify trends, opportunities, and risks, and translate platform data into recommendations clients can understand and act on.
• Design tests with clear hypotheses, document learnings, and use insights to evolve campaign strategy.
• Improve how the work gets done
• Identify opportunities to simplify workflows and increase operational efficiency.
• Champion adoption of new platform capabilities, automation, AI tools, and best practices.
• Create scalable documentation and repeatable frameworks that serve as trusted resources across the team.
• Build trusted client relationships
• Serve as a day-to-day strategic partner, helping clients understand not just what you're recommending but why it matters.
• Adapt communication style across audiences, from activation teams to senior stakeholders.
• Help elevate the team
• Mentor junior teammates through coaching and feedback.
• Share new ideas, platform updates, and experimentation results to strengthen the team's collective expertise.

Benefits

• Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous PTO and 15 company-wide holidays
• 401k with company contribution
• Paid parental leave
• Work-life balance with an emphasis on personal well-being
• Career growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network
• A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.Monks, Cultura.Monks, and more!
