Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled paid media budgets ($500K+/year) across 4+ channels in D2C/e-commerce and can prove it with ROAS, CAC, and cohort data
  • You're obsessive about creative testing—you run 15+ A/B tests monthly and know which variables (audience, copy, design, landing page) move the needle
  • You balance spreadsheets with storytelling: you can optimize a campaign to death AND collaborate with brand teams to make ads people actually want to click
  • You're self-directed and entrepreneurial—you spot trends in search/social data and propose new channels before your boss asks
  • You love on-site culture and thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where you're accountable for revenue
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility; this is 5 days/week in NYC—non-negotiable
  • You're a generalist marketer who dabbles in paid media; this role requires deep, hands-on expertise across multiple platforms and proven budget ownership
  • You can't balance brand voice with performance metrics or you default to gut feels over data-driven optimization
