Performance Media Buyer

We're hiring a Performance Media Buyer to own day-to-day execution across paid media for two distinct brands. You'll be the hands-on implementation engine behind our growth strategy, translating insights from our Senior Growth Specialist into precise, well-tracked, performance-driven campaigns across Google, Meta, Microsoft, Pinterest, and other platforms.
This is a builder's seat. You'll make daily bid, budget, and creative shifts informed by both our MTA (Northbeam) and MMM (Prescient) tools, and you'll be trusted to move budget where the data points. If you've scaled brands from the startup phase through eight figures and you live inside ad platforms, you'll feel at home here.
This position will work a hybrid schedule with three days per week at our corporate HQ in Houston, and two days per week from home. We thrive in a team-oriented environment supporting one another in team goals and responsibilities.
Responsibilities

Plan, launch, and optimize paid media campaigns across Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, Pinterest Ads, and emerging platforms as needed
Manage daily budget shifts, bid adjustments, and audience/creative testing across four unique brands, each with its own positioning, margin profile, and growth stage
Translate strategic direction from the Senior Growth Specialist into executional roadmaps and live campaigns
Use Northbeam (MTA) and Prescient (MMM) in tandem to inform daily decisions, knowing when to trust each signal and when to triangulate
Build, audit, and maintain tracking infrastructure: pixels, GTM containers, GA4 events, Shopify feed reports, and UTM hygiene across every campaign
Manage manual bidding strategies where appropriate and identify when to leverage automated bidding to scale efficiently
Own platform-level reporting and surface actionable insights, and compare them with third-party analytics tools
Support international expansion efforts for product-oriented brands, including feed localization and market-specific bidding strategy
Requirements

35 years of hands-on media buying experience, agency-side experience a plus, managing multiple brands simultaneously
Demonstrated experience managing $100K+/month in ad spend (preferably across multiple platforms concurrently)
Track record of scaling product-oriented businesses from startups through $100M+ in revenue
Deep proficiency across Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, Pinterest Ads, (strong preference for candidates with experience on additional platforms)
Strong working knowledge of Northbeam or comparable MTA tools and Prescient or comparable MMM tools, and a clear point of view on how to use them together
Fluent in tracking and measurement: pixel implementation, Google Tag Manager, GA4, Shopify feeds, and the why behind UTM tracking
Experience with international selling for e-commerce/product brands
Comfortable with manual bidding strategies and confident shifting between manual and automated approaches based on account stage
Sharp prioritization instincts, you can manage brands without skipping a beat
