YOUR ROLE As Maneuver scales through deeper use of AI, automation, APIs, and cross-functional media intelligence, we're evolving the Media Buyer role from a pure execution function into a hybrid operator-strategist. You take full ownership of performance outcomes on specific projects, acting as a strategic growth driver by identifying high-leverage opportunities across creative, audience, funnel, offer, and structure, while partnering with Growth Strategists to steer spend decisions and leading end-to-end media operations to enable sustainable scaling. WHAT YOU’LL DO PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS & OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION - Media Buying: Identify gaps in account structure, test process, grad or win rates, targeting, placements, bid strategies, and ad set-up - Researches the market, product, and competition proactively to contribute valuable inputs - Identify gaps in message-market fit, untapped niches within the market, creative formats, placement-specific performance, etc. - Funnel: Identify gaps in post-click experience, including the landing page, mobile vs desktop, cross-sells/upsells, etc. SMART USE OF VIDEO INVENTORY - Pair videos with optimal new copy and/or resurface high-performing legacy copy that can give new videos an edge - Adjust post click destinations to maximize performance (Sales page vs listicle vs quiz vs VSL funnel) - Suggest structural changes and solve for bottlenecks in AOV, CVR, or backend monetization - You’ll work with Growth Strategist and the rest of the team to identify patterns across video types (VSLs, influencer, partnership, in-house) to inform future creative strategy and funnel adjustments — testing different LPs, listicles, upsell paths, or offers to maximize CVR and AOV. DATA, REPORTING & COLLABORATION - Partner with Growth Strategist and Haus measurement team to determine real ROAS thresholds using in-platform + post-purchase data - Triangulate multiple data sources to define what 'good performance' looks like and push back on misleading signals - Create comprehensive performance tracking using advanced Google Sheets capabilities. Familiarity with formulas like VLOOKUPs & pivot tables is compulsory - Provides clear, actionable analysis of the data—translating numbers into insights that help optimize performance and drive better decision-making. OPTIMIZE TESTING ARCHITECTURE - Build efficient structures for testing including including dedicated VSL campaigns, isolated placements (Reels vs Feed vs Stories), and strategic use of cost caps, bid multipliers, and volume bidding - Ensure video throughput velocity (number of videos tested, scaled, iterated) through optimizing test setups workflow, batching creative variants, and minimizing launch bottlenecks - Organize and group tests across video types and creative formats (VSLs, influencer, partnership, inhouse) - Analyze and compare performance across different campaign structures post-testing to identify optimal architectures for scaling PERFORM MEDIA BUYING RESPONSIBILITIES - Campaign management: Monitor, trim, scale, add ads, and rotate past performers - Brief, coordinate, and quality-check executions with virtual assistants (VAs) - Perform weekend/holiday campaign monitoring and high priority optimizations - Work with Creative, Compliance, and Product teams to ensure ads remain within policy boundaries — balancing creativity with delivery reliability PROJECT OWNERSHIP - Demonstrate deep understanding of strategic project outcomes and constraints, taking accountability for results - Actively seek ways to contribute to project success beyond assigned tasks, including taking items off Growth Strategist's and other team members' plates to help them focus on highest-value activities - Learn from other accounts and bridge insights across different projects to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement - Execute with agency and urgency while maintaining quality standards HOW YOU’LL SUCCEED - Grow incremental Meta spend (with a focus on Instagram Feeds/Reels/Stories and Facebook Reels) - Drive profitable blended ROAS (>1x) — even when in-platform metrics look unprofitable (e.g. 0.3x) - Support both TOF reach and BOF/Buyer retargeting objectives using the right creative types and setups WHAT YOU BRING - At least 4 years of relevant experience working with DTC brands as a media buyer. - Strong work ethics - we built our brand to 9 figures in revenue profitably with ~30 full-time employees and this would not have happened without a strong work ethic and a mission-driven culture. We aim to build the brand to 10 figures by the end of the decade, and this requires a strong sense of commitment to build something together with like-minded people. - Analytical mindset - you should be comfortable working with data, analyzing key metrics, and understanding the fundamental marketing levers that drive performance. - Strong media buying skills - experienced in managing ad budgets, experimenting with campaign structures, and understanding the basics of manual bid strategies. - Project management – ability to identify goals, contribute to planning, and execute tasks effectively, adapting to real-time data and feedback to refine strategies and deliver quality results - Project coordination skills – ability to collaborate with other departments to ensure projects stay on track and within timelines. - Other important soft skills - resourcefulness, organization, independent, problem-solver
