About the Role

We’re hiring a hands-on Media Buyer with real experience running paid ads for direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce brands.

This is not a maintenance role and not for someone looking to stay in the same position long-term.

We’re specifically looking for an overachiever — someone who wants to grow into a leadership role and eventually become a Head of Growth / Performance Marketing as we scale.

You’ll manage and scale paid media across a portfolio of DTC brands, working closely with founders, creative teams, and performance data to drive profitable growth across markets.

Responsibilities

  • Plan, launch, and manage paid advertising campaigns across:

    • Meta (Facebook & Instagram)

    • Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max)

    • TikTok Ads (nice to have)

  • Own performance end-to-end: setup → testing → scaling → optimization

  • Manage multiple DTC brands with different audiences, AOVs, margins, and growth stages

  • Build structured testing frameworks (creative, audiences, offers)

  • Continuously analyze and optimize for:

    • ROAS, CPA, CAC, AOV, LTV, contribution margin

  • Collaborate closely with creative teams on:

    • UGC briefs

    • Hooks, angles, and messaging

    • Iterative creative testing

  • Identify and fix funnel bottlenecks (ad → landing page → checkout)

  • Monitor daily budgets, pacing, and account health

  • Produce weekly performance reports with insights and action items

  • Document playbooks and frameworks as the portfolio scales

  • Stay up to date with ad platform changes and best practices

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 2+ years of hands-on paid media experience for DTC e-commerce brands

  • Proven experience managing Meta Ads (mandatory)

  • Experience with Google Ads for e-commerce (Shopping / PMAX)

  • Strong understanding of:

    • Conversion tracking (Pixel, CAPI, GA4)

    • Post-iOS14 attribution challenges

    • Scaling vs testing strategies

  • Experience working with Shopify

  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills

  • High ownership mentality and comfort with accountability

Nice to Have

  • TikTok Ads experience

  • Experience managing multiple brands or portfolios

  • International market exposure (US, EU, GCC)

  • CRO or landing page optimization experience

  • Familiarity with tools like Triple Whale, Northbeam, Hyros

Who This Role Is For

  • Overachievers who want to own outcomes

  • Media buyers aiming to become department heads

  • People who think in systems and long-term scalability

  • Performance-driven operators who treat spend like their own

Who This Role Is NOT For

  • Candidates looking for execution-only roles

  • People uncomfortable with performance-based upside

  • Anyone avoiding responsibility for results

Growth Path

Media Buyer → Senior Media Buyer → Performance Lead → Head of Growth / Paid Media

Compensation & Incentives

  • Competitive fixed monthly compensation

  • 10% performance-based bonus / commission tied to SellAbroad (SA) revenue generated

  • Clear upside directly linked to performance and growth

  • Long-term leadership and compensation expansion as the department scales

What We Offer

  • Exposure to a portfolio of fast-growing DTC brands

  • Direct collaboration with founders and decision-makers

  • High ownership and visible impact on revenue

  • Remote-first role

  • Clear growth path into leadership
