We enjoy the work, and want the people we work with to enjoy it too.
The Role
We''re hiring a hands-on Media Buyer to own day-to-day paid media execution across key platforms, with a strong focus on Meta, Google, plus programmatic. You will be the primary media buyer on the team, working closely with Adapt Digital''s founders/fellow ad experts as well as external partners. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, can operate independently, and enjoys translating client goals into clean, measurable campaign builds. Workload is generally manageable in the spring and ramps significantly through summer and peak election season. Important context: Great creative and messaging drive strong campaigns, but this role is focused on the analytical and technical side of paid media. You will own budget buildouts, in-platform campaign structure, and performance optimization. You will collaborate with creative and strategy partners by translating their goals into campaigns on ad platforms and reporting dashboards with live metrics. What You'll Do
Campaign execution and optimization Build, traffic, QA, launch, and optimize campaigns across Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and programmatic DSPs (Basis preferred, DV360, The Trade Desk, or similar). Own in-platform setup details including objectives, conversions, audiences, placements, pacing, bid strategies, creative testing structure, attribution settings, and measurement alignment. Manage budget pacing and performance to client goals across acquisition, mobilization, and persuasion work. Maintain strong operational hygiene, and independently manage priorities, timelines, and handoffs with minimal supervision. Manage voter file and modeled audiences synced to ad platforms via TargetSmart, L2, and other data providers
Measurement, reporting, and insights
Monitor performance daily, identify trends, and recommend optimizations grounded in data. Work inside our live reporting dashboards in Google Looker Studio to provide client-facing reports Partner communication and translation (5 to 10 hours per week) Communicate directly with client-side stakeholders, strategists, and creative partners to gather context and translate goals into implementable media plans. Translate technical platform realities into client-friendly recommendations and next steps. Use our budget template to translate client goals into budgets, pacing, and campaign builds. Set clear working norms with partners so campaigns launch smoothly (what you need, when you need it, and how you prefer to communicate). Compliance and political platform requirements Ensure campaigns meet applicable platform requirements (Google election verification, Meta authorization, disclaimers where relevant) and follow agreed client compliance guardrails, with internal guidance.
What We\'re Looking For
Must-haves 1 to 5 plus years of hands-on experience running paid campaigns (agency, in-house, political, advocacy, or mission-driven environments). Strong working knowledge of: Meta Ads Manager (optimization and setup depth is essential) Google Ads (search and or YouTube preferred; political experience a plus) A programmatic DSP (Basis preferred, but DV360, TTD, or other acceptable) with the ability to learn new platforms quickly Proven ability to translate client goals into a digital budget and pacing approach, and clean campaign architecture in-platform. Analytical and detail-oriented. You catch issues early and optimize methodically. Highly independent. You can prioritize, execute, and communicate progress without heavy day-to-day oversight. Comfortable collaborating with external partners (strategists and creative) and responding quickly to shifting priorities. Strong spreadsheet comfort for pacing, reconciliation, projections, and budget management. Nice-to-haves Experience in a political or high-tempo advocacy cycle (campaign, IE, union, C4, issue advocacy, etc.). Familiarity with brand safety, frequency management, and programmatic measurement basics. Experience with conversion tracking QA and troubleshooting in partnership with technical teammates.
Working Style and Expectations
We collaborate primarily between 9:00am and 5:00pm ET, and you should be reachable by phone and responsive on Slack and email during that window. We can accommodate other U.S. time zones with sufficient overlap, and there may be occasional time-sensitive needs outside standard hours during peak campaign periods. Peak season requires responsiveness and strong execution under tight timelines. We offer unlimited PTO and encourage time off. Outside peak windows we\'re flexible. During peak periods we coordinate PTO to ensure campaign coverage.
Compensation and Benefits
$65,000 to $85,000 base salary, depending on experience and platform depth Health insurance Unlimited PTO (coordinated around campaign needs and peak season) Fully remote work environment Hiring Timeline
Applications reviewed on a rolling basis through February 17 Interviews planned for late February Target start date March 15 (or shortly after) ***Optional interim arrangement: We''re open to candidates who can begin as part-time or freelance support and transition to full-time as we approach peak cycle, based on fit and business needs. How to Apply
Please do not submit a cover letter. Instead, submit your resume and responses to the following prompts: Which platforms have you directly managed and at what spend and/or complexity level? Give an example of how you translated a client goal into a digital budget and then into a campaign structure in-platform. In 80 words or less: Pick one objective (persuasion, advocacy mobilization, or lead acquisition). Briefly outline: (1) targeting, (2) creative/channel direction, and (3) how you would measure success. Typical, practical guidance is fine. Submit materials to bree@adaptdigital.io, with "Media Buyer Role" in the subject line. Adapt Digital is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We encourage applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to apply. We evaluate candidates based on skills, experience, and alignment with the role.
