Join REEKON Tools, a US based company, as we upgrade the tools professionals use on construction projects big and small! We are looking for an experienced Media Buyer to take full ownership of our paid acquisition across Meta and Google. We make a variety of construction tools and software that we sell online and in stores to customers across the globe.
You will own roughly $1.2-2M in annual ad spend across Meta and Google. This is a hands-on, in-platform role where you will build, test, and optimize campaigns yourself, and you will do it alongside an internal creative team that produces a high volume of video and static assets into a high functioning machine. Your job is to feed that engine, tell the creative team what is working and what to make next, and turn their output into profitable growth. We will primarily be running ads to our own website which is Shopify based.
We are looking for someone who thinks in blended terms rather than platform reported ROAS, who has a real testing methodology rather than a list of hacks, and who is comfortable being the single owner of a budget this size and knows the ins and outs of the industry. Role will focus on media buying but also have touch points and ownership across our marketing stack.
There is large growth potential for this role as we expand the team and expand our marketing operation.
To apply for this role, please apply here and email careers@reekon.tools with a note on why this is a role for you and what you think of REEKON's current active ads. This is a full time on site role in Boston, MA
The Role
- Own day to day management of approximately $1.2M in annual paid spend across Meta and Google (Shopping, Performance Max, Search, and YouTube)
- Build, launch, and optimize campaigns in platform — account structure, budgets, bidding, audiences, and daily pacing
- Run a structured creative testing program with our internal creative team, and brief them on what to produce next based on what the data actually shows
- Report performance against blended MER and contribution margin targets, not just platform reported ROAS
- Manage our product data feeds for Google Shopping and the Meta catalog, including feed quality, titles, and segmentation
- Own tracking accuracy across Meta Pixel and CAPI, Google tags, and GA4, and surface discrepancies before they distort decisions
- Plan and run landing page and offer tests to improve conversion rate
- Help us grow demand creation and not only demand capture
- Create automations for reporting, pacing alerts, and creative trafficking
- Recommend where budget should move, including telling us clearly when we should be spending less
Your Background
- AI mastery - not just using basic LLMs but leveraging new possibilities and rethinking traditional workflows to improve performance and internal operations
- Minimum 4 years of hands on media buying experience with DTC and ecommerce, including at least 2 years with direct personal responsibility for $75-150k per month in spend
- Strong across both Meta and Google.
- Working command of blended metrics (MER, CAC, contribution margin) and a clear view of when platform reported numbers are misleading you
- Solid measurement fundamentals: pixel and CAPI setup, conversion tracking, attribution windows, and the basics of incrementally testing
- Exceptionally strong at creative feedback and partnership with in house team. Writing briefs, diagnosing creative fatigue, and turning results into the next round of assets
- Exceptional written English - grammar, tone, and clarity must be outstanding, as you will be writing briefs and analyses we act on
- Physical product or considered purchase experience is a plus. Construction, tools, or the trades is a significant plus
- Amazon Ads experience is a plus

Tips for Your Performance Lead Job Search
Quantify campaign impact on your resume
Performance lead hiring managers want to see the numbers behind your decisions. Tie each role you list to a specific business outcome, like cost-per-acquisition improvement or revenue attributed to a channel, not just the tactics you ran.
Tailor your resume to channel focus
Job descriptions for performance leads vary widely by channel emphasis. A paid search-heavy role and a programmatic-heavy role call for different skills up front, so reorder your bullet points to match the channel stack the employer is prioritizing.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists performance lead openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your channel expertise and apply directly to each listing before competition builds.
Show attribution modeling experience clearly
Many performance lead postings screen for multi-touch attribution knowledge. Explicitly name the attribution models you have worked with and the decisions they informed, since this detail is easy to bury but heavily weighted by hiring managers.
Prepare a channel audit as your interview artifact
Instead of a traditional portfolio, walk into interviews with a brief audit of a publicly visible campaign or ad account. Showing you can diagnose inefficiency in someone else's setup demonstrates the analytical instinct performance lead roles require.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Performance lead roles differ significantly in budget ownership, channel authority, and team size. Before accepting an offer, clarify which channels you own end-to-end, what your testing budget is, and whether you have direct reports.
Performance Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most performance leads?
Clients Blackbox, Zone 5 Technologies, and Google are hiring the most performance leads right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially active in e-commerce, media buying, and direct-to-consumer brands.
How many performance lead jobs are remote?
About 82% of performance lead openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the digital-first nature of the work. Paid media and analytics-focused performance lead roles tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to in-house creative teams or retail media networks more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a performance lead?
Start by building hands-on experience running paid campaigns in at least one core channel, such as paid search or paid social. Move into roles where you own budget and optimization decisions rather than just executing tasks. Develop fluency in data analysis and attribution, then demonstrate cross-channel leadership by managing a full funnel or a small team before pursuing a lead-level title.
Can you get hired as a performance lead with little experience?
Some employers will consider candidates with two or three years of focused paid media experience if that experience includes clear budget ownership and measurable results. Freelance or contract campaign work counts toward this, especially if you can show a portfolio of decisions and outcomes. Targeting smaller brands or agencies first gives you the hands-on scope that lead roles require.
What does the performance lead interview process look like?
Most performance lead interview processes include an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on your channel expertise and analytical approach, and a skills assessment such as a channel audit, a budget allocation exercise, or a case study. Final rounds typically involve meeting cross-functional partners in product, creative, or finance to assess how you collaborate outside the media team.
Where can I find and apply to performance lead jobs?
You can find and apply to performance lead jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your channel focus and experience level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
