The Challenge

Faire is a two-sided marketplace connecting retailers with suppliers. You'll own the paid social and retargeting engine—scaling acquisition and retention while running constant AI-powered experiments to unlock new growth channels.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Audit and optimize existing Meta and paid social campaigns; identify 3-5 quick-win optimization opportunities (creative, bidding, landing pages) to hit weekly KPI targets

2

Map current retargeting workflow and implement AI/automation tooling (Smartly, Hunch, or Omneky) to reduce manual QA and bulk change time by 30%+

3

Launch 2-3 high-impact pilot growth tests (new channels, audiences, or creative formats) with minimal engineering lift using automation workflows

4

Build weekly performance dashboard tracking CPM, CTR, CVR, and retention metrics across all paid social channels; present insights to cross-functional partners

By 6 Months
1

Scale retargeting program to drive measurable lift in repeat retailer purchases; achieve 15%+ efficiency improvement vs. baseline while maintaining LTV/CAC targets

2

Run incremental testing framework on 4+ major campaign levers; document learnings and apply winning variants across evergreen programs

3

Establish AI-powered creative testing workflow; reduce time-to-launch for new creatives by 40% and increase creative velocity by 2x

4

Lead 2-3 cross-functional projects (tracking fixes, landing page optimization, marketplace-specific growth strategies); document playbooks for team reuse

KPIs You'll Own

CPM (Cost Per Mille)

Track cost efficiency of paid media across channels; optimize creative, audience, and bidding to lower CPM while maintaining quality.

Conversion Rate (CVR)

Measure % of clicks converting to desired action (sign-up, purchase); test landing pages, offers, and creative messaging to lift CVR.

Click-Through Rate (CTR)

Monitor ad engagement; A/B test creative, copy, and audiences to drive higher CTR and lower funnel waste.

Repeat Purchase Rate & Retention

Core metric for retargeting; measure % of past buyers re-engaging and completing repeat purchases; optimize messaging and frequency.

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

Track true acquisition cost by channel and campaign; ensure efficiency targets are met while scaling volume.

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

Measure revenue generated per dollar spent on paid social; benchmark against targets and optimize toward profitability.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed $500K+ in annual paid social budgets on Meta with hands-on optimization experience—you know when to adjust bids, pause audiences, and refresh creatives
  • You're fluent in paid marketing metrics (CPM, CTR, CVR, ROAS) and can quickly diagnose campaign underperformance with Excel or SQL
  • You're actively using AI tools (Omneky, Hunch, ChatGPT) to automate QA, creative testing, and reporting—and you're eager to find new workflow automation wins
  • You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you're expected to ship pilots with minimal hand-holding and learn by doing
  • You have B2B, SMB, marketplace, or retargeting experience and understand the nuances of repeat customer acquisition and retention
Won't Work If
  • You need a remote-first setup or are location-constrained outside the Bay Area; this role is on-site in San Francisco
  • You prefer stable, repeatable processes over constant experimentation and iteration; Faire runs dozens of pilots and expects you to move fast
  • You're not comfortable diving into SQL queries or building your own dashboards in Tableau/Mode; self-service analytics is core to this role
