This is a hands-on role and is ideal for someone who loves to build and optimize successful social ads. The ideal candidate will have experience in paid social media.

Experience with television and/or newspaper acquisition ads is also a plus.
Occasional travel to conferences and client meetings may be required, as appropriate (when considered safe to do so.)
Duties include:
- Manage end to end execution of Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns across multiple clients with a hands-on approach
- Elements include: implementation, budget management, performance review, and optimization
- Achieve targeted ROI for social campaigns on a monthly basis
- Effectively communicate directly with clients on ads performance and strategy
- Support Client Success Managers on campaign questions and issues
- Proven success with following detailed directions, multi-tasking and managing priorities
THE LOCATION:
Wherever you are! This position is work-from-home (even after the pandemic!). Employees are required to maintain their own in-home office space which is dedicated, quiet, professional and suitable for webcam discussions with clients. Standard office hours are 9am-6pm ET with some off-hours work expected when customer needs warrant.
