Paid Media Buyer (DTC/eCommerce)Fully Remote (Must be based in Europe)
We're hiring a Paid Media Buyer to live inside our ad accounts across Meta, Google, AppLovin, NewsBreak, Pinterest, native (Taboola / Outbrain), and other platforms as we expand. You'll own the technical execution and day-to-day optimization of paid campaigns: building structure, reading the data, finding the leaks, and pulling the right levers to scale.You won't be writing scripts or designing assets. You'll work closely with our creative team, briefing them based on what the data tells you, feeding them performance signal, and getting their work into market efficiently.
Increase budgets on ad sets and campaigns hitting their primary KPI over rolling 3/7/14-day windows, pull back spend from underperformers, and restart ads where delayed attribution masked early performance.Maintain a weekly creative testing cadence per platform: brief tests, launch with clean hypotheses, read them against pre-set spend or conversion thresholds, then kill or scale on schedule.Run pacing checks daily, weekly, and MTD against budget and KPI goals. On Google specifically: negative keyword mining on Search and Shopping, smart bidding strategy reviews, Merchant Center diagnostics, quality score and ad strength reviews, and placement exclusions on Display and YouTube.Performance, leading indicators, blended view across platforms, and the insights and next moves, not just the numbers.Build, launch, and optimize campaigns across Meta, Google (Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, YouTube), AppLovin, NewsBreak, Pinterest, native, and any new platform we test into.Read multi-platform data and explain what's actually happening, not just what each platform reports about itself.Make the call on how to allocate budget across platforms based on incrementality, scale capacity, and unit economics.Brief creative needs to the creative team based on data signal, then test outputs against pre-defined success criteria.
