Why This Opportunity is a Career Game-Changer:
Imagine being at the forefront of the next revolution in advertising—where AI doesn’t just optimize campaigns but fundamentally transforms how ads are created, managed, and scaled. This is your chance to take the leap from traditional performance marketing into the tech world, working alongside industry veterans from Meta, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Backed by top-tier VCs like Wing VC and South Park Commons, our client is an AI-powered AdTech startup building the next-generation ad agency—one that’s not just accessible to thousands of businesses but is redefining the future of media buying and advertising. If you’re obsessed with AI, thrive on numbers, and want to make a direct impact on a company’s trajectory, this role is for you. With a clear path to Series A funding and a goal of hitting $2M ARR by the end of the year, your contributions will shape not just the company’s success but also the evolution of AI-driven marketing itself.
The Role:
We’re looking for an exceptional growth marketer to lead internal operations and work cross-functionally with product and engineering to build AI-powered advertising solutions. This is not just a media buying role—it’s an opportunity to shape the next era of performance marketing through AI automation.
Key Responsibilities:
Own and optimize performance marketing efforts, ensuring every ad dollar is spent smartly and effectively.
Work directly with product and engineering teams to refine AI-driven ad automation, identifying opportunities for increased efficiency and scalability.
Manage multi-channel media planning and buying, expanding beyond Meta into Google, LinkedIn, Amazon, and video platforms.
Analyze ad performance using Ads Manager, Excel, and other analytics tools to extract actionable insights.
Act as the bridge between clients and the internal AI product, providing proactive support and strategic recommendations.

Customer Obsession: You bring care and empathy to every client relationship, ensuring their business goals are met with precision.
AI-Driven Mindset: You’re excited about leveraging automation to scale ad operations and improve performance.
Analytical Excellence: You’re deep in the numbers, tracking performance metrics beyond default settings and finding creative ways to optimize campaigns.
Collaboration with Product & Engineering: You provide insights into automation opportunities, helping to refine AI agents that improve ad execution.
Must-Have Experience:
10+ years in performance marketing, media planning, and paid social (DTC or B2B SaaS preferred).
Agency experience managing multiple six-figure ad accounts across Meta and other platforms.
Deep knowledge of Ads Manager and analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, potential experience with Triple Whale, Northbeam, or other attribution tools is a plus).
Experience in scaling ad budgets efficiently while maximizing ROAS and profitability.
