# Head of Paid Media

**Scalero** · Anywhere

About Scalero



Scalero is a lifecycle marketing studio helping fast-growing companies execute and scale their email, push, and CRM programs. We work with companies like Notion, Figma, and Carnival Cruise Lines to build high-performing lifecycle systems across design, development, and data.



We focus narrowly on lifecycle marketing, and we do it well. That focus has allowed us to build deep expertise and long-term client relationships.



We’re now exploring expanding into paid media as a natural extension of lifecycle marketing.



Summary



We’re hiring a Head of Paid Media (0→1) to build and lead this new practice at Scalero.



This is not a traditional “Director” role. You will be responsible for defining, selling, and delivering paid media services from the ground up. You’ll start hands-on, working directly with clients and campaigns, and over time build a team if the practice proves successful.



This role is ideal for someone who wants ownership, is comfortable with ambiguity, and has the confidence to build something new inside an existing client base.



What you’ll do



Build the paid media practice




Define Scalero’s paid media offering (services, pricing, positioning)
Establish initial processes, reporting, and operating model
Identify how paid media integrates with lifecycle marketing


Drive revenue within existing clients




Partner with account leads to identify paid media opportunities
Pitch and expand into existing client relationships
Help clients understand how paid + lifecycle work together to improve outcomes


Execute hands-on (early stage)




Set up and manage campaigns across platforms (Meta, Google, etc.)
Own performance, reporting, and optimization
Deliver high-quality execution without a large team


Collaborate cross-functionally




Work closely with lifecycle teams (email, data, creative)
Translate paid media insights into broader marketing strategy
Help connect acquisition and retention efforts


Build the team (if successful)




Hire and manage paid media specialists
Develop scalable processes and playbooks
Transition from operator to leader as the practice grows


What we’re looking for




4+ years of experience in paid media (agency or in-house)
Proven ability to manage and optimize campaigns across major platforms
Experience selling or expanding services within existing accounts
Strong understanding of performance marketing metrics (CAC, LTV, ROAS)
Comfortable working hands-on and independently in early stages
Ability to operate without defined structure and build systems from scratch
Strong communication skills and client presence


Bonus:




Experience working alongside lifecycle marketing teams
Experience building or scaling a new service line or team


Why this role matters




This is a new direction for Scalero.
We believe many of our clients already invest heavily in paid media, and that integrating paid with lifecycle marketing can unlock meaningful improvements in performance.
You will be responsible for testing that hypothesis and, if successful, building a new revenue stream for the company.


Compensation and benefits




$130k-$145k base salary
Meaningful performance-based upside tied to revenue growth
Equity in a fast-growing company
Fully remote, flexible work environment
Health insurance
Company laptop provided
Local WeWork or co-working access
401(k) with company matching
Unlimited paid time off
