Our Core Values
š§ GENIUSES & OWNERSĀ
We partner with builders who think like founders. Not employees waiting to be told what to doāowners who see a problem and fix it.
ā” ITERATIONS > HOURS
We don't measure success by time at your desk. We measure it by how fast you can test, learn, and improve. Ship it. Learn. Repeat.
šÆ TRUTH OVER EGO
We prioritize honesty and clarity, even when it's uncomfortable. No politics. No BS. Just data and results.
Ā
The RoleĀ
We spend serious money on Meta adsāand we need someone who treats every dollar like it's their own.
You won't just 'manage' campaigns. You'll partner with our Creative Strategists to test winning angles, analyze performance data to find insights others miss, and scale what works while killing what doesn't.
Our brands have product-market fit. Your job is to pour fuel on the fireāprofitably.
What You'll Do
- Manage and scale Meta ad campaigns across multiple brands
- Analyze performance data daily and make rapid optimization decisions
- Collaborate with Creative Strategy on ad concepts, hooks, and angles
- Build and test audience strategiesāLALs, interests, broad, and everything in between
- Maintain ROAS targets while scaling spend
- Create clear performance reports and insights for leadership
- Stay ahead of platform changes and test new features
Ā
What We're Looking ForĀ
- 2+ years of hands-on Meta Ads experience
- Proven track record of managing $50K+/month in ad spend profitably
- Deep understanding of Meta's algorithm, attribution, and optimization
- Strong analytical skillsāyou live in the data
- Experience with creative testing frameworks (you know a hook from a headline)
- E-commerce experience preferred (DTC brands a plus)
Ā
Bonus PointsĀ
- Experience with $100K+/month spend
- Background in creative strategy or copywriting
- You've scaled campaigns from test budgets to 6-figure monthly spend
- Experience with other platforms (TikTok, Google, Taboola) is nice but not required
Ā
This Role Is NOT For...
We're being direct because we respect your time:
- Media buyers who just 'set and forget'
- Those who blame the algorithm when things don't work
- Anyone who can't explain WHY a campaign is working (or not)
- People who aren't comfortable with high stakes and tight targets
Compensation & Benefits
š°Monthly Salary: $1,500/month
Plus:
- Monthly performance bonuses tied to company Operating Profit (5-25% of salary)
- Quarterly profit pool distribution (2-7.5% of company profits shared among team)
- Remote-first environment (European timezone preferred)
- Work with a team of A-players who actually give a damn
- Direct founder accessāno layers of bureaucracy
- Real ownership of your domaināwe don't micromanage

Our best media buyer once found a winning audience that nobody else was targeting. It scaled to 6-figures in spend. If you have stories like that, we want to hear them.
