Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed $20MM+ in paid social budgets for D2C or ecommerce brands and can speak fluently to ROAS, CAC, and payback period optimization
  • You're a ruthless optimizer who thrives on data—you dig into messy datasets, run structured tests, and translate insights into action without permission
  • You have deep hands-on expertise in Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, and dynamic product ads / catalog campaigns
  • You're energized by the mission: food, chefs, and nourishment matter to you; you want to help scale a brand you believe in
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility; this is on-site in New York, NY
  • You're uncomfortable with full ownership and autonomous decision-making; you need constant approval or hand-holding
  • You lack hands-on expertise in paid social platform tools or haven't managed budgets at scale ($20MM+); this is execution + strategy, not theory
