About the Opportunity

This is an unparalleled opportunity to make a significant impact within a fast-paced and high-growth agency environment. You will be instrumental in shaping the success of key client accounts, particularly within the CPG food and beverage e-commerce sector, driving performance marketing initiatives that directly contribute to significant revenue growth. This role offers the chance to lead, innovate, and directly contribute to the expansion of a new agency division, working alongside a talented team and directly influencing client outcomes during their most critical periods. If you thrive on challenge, possess a deep understanding of paid social dynamics, and are eager to drive substantial results, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Lead the end-to-end management of full-funnel paid social campaigns across Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Pinterest, and LinkedIn, from meticulous build-out to continuous optimization.
• Steer performance marketing strategies for an active CPG food and beverage e-commerce client, expertly managing and scaling campaigns through seasonal holiday traffic surges and high order volumes.
• Maintain direct "hands-on-keyboard" control within ad managers, independently executing bid adjustments, budget pacing, audience segmentation, and placement optimizations to maximize campaign efficiency and ROI.
• Prepare for and confidently lead client-facing calls, translating complex raw campaign data and performance metrics into compelling, executive-level business narratives and actionable insights.
• Manage multiple client accounts simultaneously, seamlessly onboarding new clients and scaling campaigns from inception to sustained growth.
• Partner with and mentor mid-level campaign managers, elevating team execution standards, conducting thorough account audits, and upskilling peers on advanced platform tactics and best practices.
• Oversee the entire technical campaign infrastructure, including Meta Pixel setup, Pinterest Tag integration, Conversions API (CAPI) health, and precise UTM tracking parameters.
• Monitor attribution modeling and cross-platform reporting using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and various third-party attribution dashboards to ensure accurate ROAS and CPA measurement.
• Collaborate closely with internal account leads, project managers, and creative teams to brief performance-driven ad creative, proactively identify asset fatigue, and execute iterative testing frameworks.
• Take full ownership of problem identification and troubleshooting across all aspects of ad delivery, inventory constraints, policy compliance, and conversion drop-offs, providing swift and effective solutions.
