About Zabota
Zabota is a top-ranked global recruitment firm, recognized as a Top HR Staffing Company by Clutch in 2025. We specialize in helping high-growth U.S. brands build elite, remote-first teams. Our mission is clear: connect world-class talent from LATAM, Europe, and beyond with the most ambitious companies in the world.

About Our Client
Our client is a California-based, industry-leading omnichannel marketing agency for cannabis, peptides, supplements and high-risk e‑commerce brands. They specialize in paid media, high-converting creatives, landing pages, and full-funnel email and SMS systems, helping brands scale revenue while remaining compliant across major advertising platforms.

About the Role
We’re not looking for someone who can launch a campaign and call it a day. We need an operator who can scale a $50/day test into a 7‑figure account, knows why a 2.1 ROAS on Meta might actually be a 3.4 blended ROAS once you pull the Triple Whale data, and isn’t scared off the second a peptide or mushroom brand hits the docket.

What You’ll Own

A portfolio of 5–10+ eCom brands across restricted and high-risk verticals

Scaling Meta campaigns from $1k/day to $20k+/day without lighting cash on fire when CPMs spike

Testing roadmaps — creative angles, hooks, audiences, LP variants — and actually reading the data afterward

Briefing the creative team on winning UGC, statics, and VSL‑style ads

Clean reporting via Triple Whale, Hyros, or Northbeam — and knowing when the in‑platform numbers are lying to you

Business Manager hygiene across multiple ad accounts, pages, pixels, and domains

Must‑Haves

Minimum $3M+ in personally‑managed Meta ad spend (be ready to show screenshots)

Proven experience in restricted verticals — supplements, peptides, cannabis/CBD, nootropics, mushrooms, or similar. You know what gets flagged, how to write compliant copy that still converts, and how to keep accounts alive

Attribution fluency — Triple Whale (preferred), Hyros, or Northbeam. You understand MER, nCAC, post‑purchase surveys, and why blended beats platform‑reported

Landing page CVR chops — you can look at a page and tell us why it’s converting at 1.8% instead of 4%

Creative judgment — you can brief ads, not just spend on them. You know the difference between a hook problem and a body problem

A testing brain — hypotheses, significance, learnings. Not “vibes”

Bonus Points

TikTok Ads and Google Ads experience

Strong opinions on ASC vs manual that you can actually defend

Contract Type
1099 Contractor

Working Hours
Remote, U.S. hours (PST, EST, MST, or CST)

Compensation
We pay $700 per client + 3% client’s ad spend. Our media buyers make anywhere between $10k and $25k. You’ll own 5–10 client accounts.
