Role Overview<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This role combines paid media craft execution with end-to-end account ownership. You will own 1\u20132 accounts independently across Meta Ads and Google Ads.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a senior IC craft role focused on execution depth, hypothesis-driven testing, and mentorship of junior strategists. You will not own platform strategy (that’s the SAS-III) and you will not own client conversations (that’s the AM). What you do: build campaigns from the playbook, test creative, optimize bid strategy, read learnings, and ship.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
