The Opportunity
This is a senior hands-on role for an experienced performance marketer who can operate beyond Ads Manager.
You'll own a portfolio of client accounts end to end - leading client conversations, managing Meta performance, writing direct-response copy and video sales letter scripts, developing testing strategies, and diagnosing where performance can improve across the funnel.
You'll report to the Associate Director of Operations and be directly accountable for client performance, relationships, and retention.

- Build strong client relationships that support retention, renewals, and referrals
- Proactively identify and address account risks and opportunities
Paid Media Performance
- Build, launch, and optimize Meta campaigns focused on lead generation and appointment booking
- Manage budgets, audiences, bid strategies, account structure, and creative testing
- Monitor daily performance against cost-per-appointment and other key acquisition metrics
- Diagnose underperforming campaigns and determine where changes are most likely to improve results
- Develop structured testing strategies across audiences, offers, messaging, creative, and campaign variables
Copy & Creative Strategy
- Write direct-response ad copy and video sales letter scripts for financial services audiences
- Develop hooks, angles, offers, and messaging variations for testing
- Use performance data to generate new creative and messaging hypotheses
- Collaborate with video editors and provide clear creative direction
- Use AI tools to accelerate research and copy development while maintaining quality and strategic judgment
Tracking & Funnel Execution
- Set up and troubleshoot tracking, Meta pixels, and conversion events
- Configure Calendly integrations, Zapier automations, and lead-routing workflows
- Identify and resolve technical issues between advertising platforms and client systems
- Evaluate performance across media, messaging, tracking, and lead flow to identify the source of funnel problems
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on paid media experience, with substantial Meta advertising responsibility
- Experience simultaneously managing multiple client accounts and leading client-facing strategy conversations
- Proven ability to manage campaigns toward defined performance targets while supporting client retention
- Strong direct-response copywriting skills, including ad copy and scripts
- Experience developing and testing creative concepts, hooks, angles, and messaging
- Experience with conversion tracking, pixels, and basic marketing automation
- Strong communication, organization, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Experience
- Financial services marketing
- Lead-generation and appointment-setting campaigns
- Video sales letter marketing
- High-ticket or considered-purchase funnels
- Performance marketing agency experience
- Direct-response advertising
NOTE: Upper Compensation Range ($115K+) Candidates considered for the upper compensation range must demonstrate hands-on experience developing and optimizing direct-response ad copy, video scripts/VSLs, creative hooks, messaging angles, and conversion-focused funnels. They should be able to demonstrate measurable improvements in campaign performance, lead quality, conversion rates, and booked appointments resulting from their creative contributions. Experience in financial services, RIA marketing, and compliance-sensitive advertising is strongly preferred.
How You Work
You take ownership. When performance drops, you investigate the account, identify the likely cause, develop a strategy, and act. You're comfortable moving between media buying, client strategy, copy, creative, and funnel performance without losing sight of the bigger picture.
You can explain complex performance issues clearly, make decisions based on data, and operate with a high level of accountability. You want to be responsible for making the account work - not one of several people waiting for someone else to make the call.
Benefits
- Paid Time Off, including vacation, sick time, and public holidays
- Training & Development

Demand Generation Specialist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a demand generation specialist in California?
Most demand generation specialists in California start with a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field. California has no state-issued license for this role, so hiring managers weigh certifications from platforms like Marketo, HubSpot, or Google instead. Building a portfolio of campaigns with measurable pipeline results is often the deciding factor, particularly at the technology and SaaS companies that dominate California's market.
Which companies hire demand generation specialists in California?
Employers hiring demand generation specialists in California right now include Rippling, Tillster, and Clients Blackbox, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's concentration of enterprise technology and cloud software headquarters means many of these roles sit inside large, well-funded marketing organizations with dedicated demand generation functions.
Which California cities have the most demand generation specialist jobs?
San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose have the most demand generation specialist openings in California. The Bay Area leads because of its density of SaaS, cloud, and enterprise software headquarters, while Los Angeles draws openings from media technology and direct-to-consumer brands, and San Diego's growing biotech and cybersecurity sectors add consistent hiring outside the two major metros.
Are there remote demand generation specialist jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 88% of demand generation specialist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based, software-driven nature of the work. Campaign strategy, marketing automation management, and performance reporting are the functions most likely to be offered fully remote, while roles involving close collaboration with sales teams often require at least a hybrid schedule.
How can I get hired as a demand generation specialist in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a marketing coordinator or marketing operations associate role at a mid-size California technology company, where you gain hands-on exposure to automation tools and campaign workflows. Large employers like Salesforce and Adobe run marketing associate programs suited to recent graduates. Earning a Marketo Certified Associate or HubSpot Marketing Certification demonstrates platform competency, and building a portfolio of even small, self-managed campaigns gives California hiring managers a concrete reason to take a chance on an early-career candidate.
Where can I find and apply to demand generation specialist jobs in California?
