Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You have 3-5 years of hands-on paid media campaign management across Google Ads, Bing, LinkedIn, or similar platforms

  • You're comfortable owning budget management and working cross-functionally to align campaigns with broader marketing goals
  • You're a problem-solver who enjoys troubleshooting underperforming campaigns and identifying growth opportunities
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility—this is on-site in Colombia with no indication of hybrid options
  • You're looking for a purely strategic/planning role; this requires hands-on daily campaign management and optimization
  • You lack direct experience running paid media campaigns or only have 1-2 years in the space
