Paid Media Strategist, B2B Growth

Our client is an early-stage, high-growth startup based in San Francisco that is building an AI-powered media agency for B2B companies.
The company has developed an AI agent that helps design, launch, test, and optimize paid media campaigns for B2B customers. The team is small, well-funded, and growing quickly. Demand from customers is already ahead of current capacity, so this role will play a key part in helping the company scale.
This is a strong fit for someone who wants to be early at a startup, stay hands-on in campaign platforms, work closely with customers, and help shape how AI and human operators work together in paid media.
The Role

As a Strategist / Media Buyer, you will be one of the early members of the growth strategy team and will own customer strategy, campaign execution, and performance across B2B paid media accounts.
AI will support a meaningful amount of the campaign work, but this is still a highly hands-on role. You will be directly involved in building, launching, testing, and optimizing campaigns while helping the team decide what should be handled by people, what can be handled by AI, and what the AI product should learn to do next.
You will work closely with the founder, internal teams, and customers to turn campaign insights into better performance and better systems.
