• Launch and optimize paid campaigns in Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, and Google Ads Manager.
• Report on key performance indicators; deliver clear readouts and recommendations to scale or pivot.
• Own paid social audience strategy; build segmented prospecting and retargeting with smart exclusions, recency/frequency, and sequential creative to optimize ad efficiency.
• Ensure brand safety, FTC-compliant disclosures, content rights management, and privacy best practices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Brand, Product Marketing, Comms/Legal, Creative, and regional teams to align messaging and campaigns.

What it takes to succeed:

• 5+ years in social marketing, including 3+ years driving paid social and creator/influencer programs end-to-end.

• Experience collaborating with creator agencies or coming from an agency background; strong project management across multiple workstreams.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn data into action.
• Familiarity with allowlisting/Partnership Ads, Spark Ads, user-generated content licensing, and FTC guidelines. Proven excellence in audience development and targeting strategies.
• Excellent brief writing, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills; high attention to detail and a results-driven mindset.
• Experience managing paid social media budgets. Ability to discern how much budget should go toward campaigns and when.
• Exceptional organizational skills and ability to work independently in vague situations.

What you'll get:

• Effective your first day: Full medical, vision, and dental
