• Track and report on mission-critical metrics including CAC, CPA, ROAS, MER, and CVR, providing actionable insights to leadership.
• Conduct competitor research and lead client strategy calls to ensure long-term brand growth and stability.
• Collaborate with the video editing and design teams to increase testing velocity and identify "winning" creative assets.

Requirements

• 5+ years of proven experience in performance marketing with a deep specialization in Meta Ads Manager.
• Demonstrated track record of managing and scaling high-spend accounts within the e-commerce or DTC space.
• Mastery of direct-response metrics (CAC, ROAS, MER, LTV) and attribution tools like Triple Whale, Northbeam, or Hyros.
• Strong expertise in creative strategy and the ability to write compelling, high-converting ad copy.
• AI-savvy mindset with the ability to leverage emerging tools for creative and operational efficiency.
• Analytical decision-making skills with a bias for action and the ability to solve complex funnel bottlenecks.
• Self-motivated and "hungry" personality, thriving in an environment where compensation is tied to performance and KPI hits.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to lead client audits and internal strategy sessions.
• Availability during core business hours (up to 4 PM EST).

Nice-to-Haves
