Paid Social Media Buyer - Meta Lead Gen & Creative Strategy
Remote · Contractor · Long-term opportunity

Read this before applying.
NEW ERA Digital Marketing helps painting contractors across the U.S. and Canada grow through paid advertising.

We do not work with every industry.

We work with painting companies.

That means our campaigns need to do more than generate cheap leads.

They need to generate real homeowner interest, booked estimates, and results our clients can feel in their business.

That is why we are hiring a Paid Social Media Buyer - Meta Lead Gen & Creative Strategy.

This role is for someone who can help manage Facebook and Instagram lead-generation campaigns, improve campaign performance, think through creative angles, protect lead quality, and communicate clearly with the team.

This is not just a “boost posts and check CPL” role.

You need to understand campaign setup, lead forms, creative testing, optimization, reporting, and what happens after a lead comes in.

The Mission
Help NEW ERA deliver better campaign results for painting contractors.

That means:

Leads are being generated.

Lead quality is being watched.

Campaigns are being reviewed consistently.

Creative angles are being tested.

Client feedback is being used.

Changes are being documented.

Updates are clear.

Issues are escalated before they become bigger problems.

Your job is to help make the paid ads side of the business cleaner, sharper, and more reliable.

What You Will Own
You will help with:

Creating, launching, and managing Meta ad campaigns

Setting up Facebook lead forms

Reviewing campaign performance

Optimizing ads based on data, lead quality, and client feedback

Testing new ad creatives, hooks, angles, and copy

Reviewing CTR, link CTR, CPM, CPL, booked appointments, and lead quality

Helping identify why campaigns are underperforming

Documenting campaign changes and test results

Sending or preparing weekly/biweekly Loom updates

Communicating campaign issues, ideas, and next actions clearly

Working with the creative team to request or improve ad assets

Helping maintain campaign logs, reports, and optimization notes

The internal role package for this position already includes campaign setup, lead-form QA, routing/tracking checks, launch QA, optimization cadence, lead-quality troubleshooting, creative angle iteration, AI-assisted creative workflow, campaign logs, Loom updates, and escalation expectations.

What Good Media Buying Looks Like Here
Good media buying at NEW ERA is not just low CPL.

A campaign with cheap leads but poor booked appointments is not a win.

A campaign with higher CPL but better estimate quality may be more valuable.

You need to think beyond surface-level metrics.

We care about:

ROAS

CPA

Cost per booked estimate

ABR %

CPL

Lead quality

No-shows

Spam or bad-fit leads

Client feedback

Creative fatigue

Downstream business results where available

Your job is to help us understand what is actually happening, not just what the ad dashboard says.

What Success Looks Like
First 30 Days
You understand our clients, offer, campaign structure, SOPs, and quality standards.

You can review accounts, identify obvious issues, help with campaign QA, and document what you’re seeing.

You complete supervised campaign setup or optimization work.

You send a practice Loom or written update for review.

First 60 Days
You can help manage 2-4 accounts with review.

You understand our optimization cadence.

You can identify lead-quality issues, recommend form/copy/creative changes, and document your work clearly.

You are no longer waiting to be told every small next step.

First 90 Days
If you are performing well, you can help manage 4-6 accounts more independently.

You are reviewing campaigns consistently, documenting changes, communicating clearly, and escalating issues when needed.

The manager can trust you with routine campaign work.

Your ramp model matches the People Ops plan: Month 1 is supervised setup and QA, Month 2 is 2-4 accounts with review, and Month 3 is 4-6 accounts independently if the hire is mid-level.

Optimization Cadence
You should be comfortable reviewing campaigns on a schedule.

Our general cadence:

Testing accounts: review every

2-4 days

Stable/optimized accounts: review every

3-5 days

Urgent lead quality, tracking, or routing issues: elevate immediately

This does not mean changing campaigns randomly.

It means reviewing the right data, making smart decisions, and documenting what changed.

Tools You May Work With
You do not need to be an expert in every tool, but you should be comfortable learning and working inside tools like:

Meta Ads Manager

Meta Business Suite

Facebook Lead Forms

ClickUp

Google Sheets

Loom

Canva

CapCut or basic editing tools

GoHighLevel or other client CRMs

Zapier or lead routing tools

ChatGPT / Claude for creative research, hooks, ideas, and draft support

Our existing Media Buyer SOP also references Ads Manager review, performance tracking, A/B tests, client feedback, weekly/biweekly updates, and end-of-day feedback as part of the working rhythm.

Who We Want
You are a strong fit if:

You have experience running Meta/Facebook lead-generation campaigns.

You understand Facebook lead forms and how form quality affects lead quality.

You can explain what you check when a campaign is underperforming.

You know that low CPL is not always the final answer.

You can think through booked appointments, lead quality, client feedback, and creative fatigue.

You can create or suggest new concepts, hooks, angles, offers, and ad copy ideas.

You can work with creative assets and give useful feedback.

You can document changes clearly.

You can send clear Loom or written updates.

You are organized and consistent.

You can take feedback without ego.

You want long-term work with a focused agency.

Who We Do Not Want
This is probably not the right role if:

You only care about getting the cheapest CPL.

You cannot explain how you launch or QA a campaign.

You do not understand lead quality.

You ignore client feedback.

You make campaign changes without documenting them.

You need constant hand-holding.

You are only looking for a basic VA/admin role.

You do not like reporting, documentation, or accountability.

You cannot communicate clearly in writing or Loom.

You say you are a "media buyer" but cannot explain the last campaign you actually managed.

Bonus Experience
Bonus points if you have experience with:

Painting contractors

Home improvement businesses

Local service businesses

Appointment-based lead generation

Facebook lead forms

GoHighLevel / CRM workflows

Zapier / lead routing

Client Loom updates

Static/photo ad creatives

Short-form ad creative strategy

AI-assisted creative research

Agentic OS/assisted systems

What We Offer

Long-term remote contractor opportunity

Work inside a niche-focused agency

Clear SOPs, training, and expectations

Consistent feedback

Opportunity to grow into more account ownership over time

A team that cares about results, not just activity

Exposure to campaign strategy, creative strategy, reporting, and client delivery

We are not looking for someone to "just run ads."

We are looking for someone who wants to become a reliable part of our media buying and client delivery system.

Compensation
Remote contractor role to start.

Compensation depends on experience, country, availability, communication ability, Meta ads experience, creative strategy ability, and how independently you can manage campaign work.

We are open to training the right person, but this is not a pure beginner role.

If you already have strong Meta lead-gen experience, there is room to grow into more account ownership.

Final Note
If you are the right person for this role, show us how you think.

Do not just say you know Facebook ads.

Show us what you have managed.

Show us how you diagnose problems.

Show us how you improve results.

Show us that you understand media buying is about more than cheap leads.
