What You’ll Do
As a Paid Social Senior Manager, you’ll lead the strategic direction, optimization approach, and performance growth for a portfolio of primarily eCommerce and DTC clients. This role is designed for a highly experienced paid social strategist who can independently lead accounts, drive full-funnel campaign strategy, and translate performance insights into actionable business recommendations.
You’ll oversee paid social programs across platforms like Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, and LinkedIn - helping clients scale revenue, improve efficiency, and evolve acquisition strategies through structured testing, thoughtful optimization, and data-informed decision making.
While this role remains highly hands-on and performance-focused, you’ll also be expected to think more holistically about the customer journey - understanding how prospecting, retargeting, creative strategy, attribution, and lifecycle marketing efforts work together to support broader business goals.
As a senior strategic contributor, you’ll help communicate performance insights, testing learnings, and optimization recommendations that support smarter investment decisions and long-term account growth.
