• Monitor campaign performance and optimize for key metrics, including ROAS, CPA, CPC, CTR, and conversion rates.
• Conduct audience research, competitor analysis, and market research to identify growth opportunities.
• Manage advertising budgets effectively, ensuring efficient allocation of spend across campaigns.
• Perform A/B testing on ad creatives, copy, audiences, and landing pages to improve campaign performance.
• Analyze campaign data and prepare actionable performance reports.
• Collaborate with creative, marketing, and sales teams to develop high-performing advertising campaigns.
• Identify opportunities to scale successful campaigns while maintaining profitability.
• Stay updated on advertising platform changes, emerging trends, and industry best practices.
Requirements
• 3+ years of professional experience in media buying, paid advertising, or performance marketing.
• Proven experience managing and optimizing paid campaigns with measurable results.
• Strong proficiency in Meta Ads Manager and/or Google Ads.
• Solid understanding of digital advertising metrics, attribution, conversion tracking, and campaign optimization.
• Experience managing advertising budgets and making data-driven decisions.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret campaign performance data.
• Experience with tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel.
• Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced remote environment.
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills.
Nice to Have
• Previous experience working at a digital marketing agency, advertising agency, or performance marketing agency.
• Experience managing paid advertising campaigns for multiple clients or brands simultaneously.
• Experience with additional advertising platforms such as TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or YouTube Ads.
• Familiarity with CRM systems, marketing automation, and conversion rate optimization (CRO).
• Experience working with international clients, particularly in the UK, US, or Australian markets.
• Relevant certifications, such as Google Ads or Meta Blueprint.
