Senior Ecomerce Advertising Strategist

Advertising Strategist | Ecommerce & Retail Media | Remote (US-based only) | $80,000–$100,000/year DOE, up to 20% Annual Bonus

Ready to own advertising strategy, not just execute it?

pdPlus is a full-service ecommerce and retail media agency based in Austin, TX, offering advertising, content, marketing strategy, copywriting, and more for a growing portfolio of brands across consumer health, apparel, food & beverage, pet, and industrial products. We move fast, communicate directly, and own outcomes for our clients.

We're looking for an Advertising Strategist to take full ownership of advertising strategy and performance across a book of client accounts. This is a client-facing role: you'll set the strategic direction, direct monthly budgets against real business goals, lead performance conversations with brand stakeholders, and coordinate execution with our internal team. If you're equally at home digging into campaign data and presenting to a client's leadership team, keep reading.

What You'll Do

Own advertising strategy across your accounts — Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and Amazon DSP
Set and direct monthly ad budgets against client margins, revenue, TACoS/ACoS, and growth targets, including pacing, reallocation, and forecasting
Serve as the primary advertising contact for your clients: lead monthly performance reviews, present strategy recommendations, and turn data into clear narratives stakeholders can act on
Partner with pdPlus Brand Managers to align advertising with overall account health, listing quality, promotions, and inventory realities
Manage and optimize campaigns through Xnurta — automation rules, dayparting, and AMC-driven audience strategies
Build full-funnel DSP strategies (retargeting, in-market, NTB audiences) and integrate them with sponsored ads performance
Contribute to audits, forecasts, and strategy documents for new business pitches and quarterly planning
Track category and competitor trends and proactively bring growth opportunities to clients

What You Bring

US-based and authorized to work in the United States
2–4 years of hands-on Amazon Advertising experience (agency or in-house, managing meaningful monthly spend)
Direct experience with Xnurta for campaign management and reporting
Amazon DSP experience — building, launching, and optimizing programmatic campaigns
Amazon Ads Academy certification (or willingness to certify within 90 days)
Proven experience setting Amazon advertising strategy at the account level — not just executing campaigns
Experience managing monthly ad budgets, including pacing and forecasting
Experience working cross-functionally with internal operators and key stakeholders
Strong client-facing communication skills — comfortable leading calls, presenting performance, and handling tough conversations
Fluency in TACoS, Contribution Margin, NTB, AMC, and incrementality
Strong Excel/Google Sheets and reporting skills — you can build a clear story from data

The Perfect Candidate

A strategic thinker who can zoom out to architect growth plans and zoom in to execute with precision
A natural leader who earns trust quickly with both clients and internal teams
A strong communicator who can translate complex performance data into clear, compelling narratives
Highly organized, structured, and proactive
Obsessed with continuous improvement and building scalable systems
Comfortable with ambiguity, change, and rapid growth
Energized by accountability and ownership
You likely come from a background in ecommerce, marketplaces, performance marketing, or digital strategy, and you enjoy operating at the intersection of brand, media, creative, and analytics.
You take pride in being the person who sees what others miss, anticipates challenges before they become problems, and pushes strategy forward instead of waiting for instructions.
