We're looking for a hands-on Digital Ads Specialist to scale our paid media efforts across multiple education brands. You'll work closely with our experienced Google Ads manager to increase our advertising impact while taking ownership of our Meta advertising and exploring new channels like TikTok.
This role combines strategic thinking with execution excellence--you'll need to understand the "why" behind campaigns while being comfortable in the day-to-day mechanics of building, optimizing, and scaling them.
What You'll Do
Meta Advertising (Primary Focus)
Own day-to-day management of Meta ad accounts across multiple brands
Plan and execute campaigns aligned with overall paid media strategy
Stay current on Meta's evolving platform (including Andromeda) and translate new features into performance gains
Scale monthly Meta spend from current levels toward $20k+ per brand
Analyze performance data and implement optimizations independently
Google Ads Support
Handle campaign setup, bid management, audience creation, ad copy testing, and performance monitoring
Take on operational tasks to free up strategic capacity for our ads manager
Execute testing plans and document learnings
Identify optimization opportunities and escalate strategic decisions appropriately
Testing & Performance Analysis
Design and execute structured A/B tests across campaigns, audiences, and creative variations
Track test results systematically and report findings with clear recommendations
Understand attribution models and their implications for campaign measurement
Navigate multi-touch attribution challenges in our lead generation funnel
Use Salesforce data to connect ad performance to downstream conversion metrics and customer quality
Channel Expansion
Collaborate with our ads manager to test and evaluate TikTok as a new channel
Bring knowledge of TikTok advertising best practices (if you have it) or learn quickly
Help determine product-channel fit through structured experimentation
Content & Creative Strategy
Understand creative intent and how different angles, hooks, and formats drive performance
Evaluate which creative concepts work for different audience segments and campaign objectives
Work with our creative team to brief ad requirements based on what's actually converting
Provide detailed performance feedback to inform future creative direction
Recognize when creative is the constraint vs. targeting, placement, or other factors
What You Bring
Required Experience
3+ years managing Meta ad accounts with monthly budgets of $20k+
Strong hands-on Google Ads experience across campaign types
Track record of scaling profitable campaigns while maintaining or improving efficiency
Deep understanding of Meta's auction dynamics, attribution models, and optimization strategies
Familiarity with Meta's latest features and beta programs (Advantage+, Andromeda, etc.)
Experience with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred) and connecting ad data to sales outcomes
Demonstrated ability to design tests, analyze results, and communicate findings clearly
Working Style
Highly autonomous, highly integrated--you know when to move forward independently and when to escalate, as well as how to get results through working with our team domestically
Comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out as platforms and strategies evolve
Data-driven decision maker who can also explain the strategic reasoning behind your choices
Strong eye for creative effectiveness--you understand what makes an ad work beyond just the metrics
Organized and systematic in testing, documentation, and reporting
Nice to Have
TikTok advertising experience
Experience in education, course sales, or lead generation businesses
Familiarity with multi-brand account structures
Reporting Structure
You'll report to Jonathan, our Chief Revenue Officer, and work day-to-day with our ads manager on strategy alignment and prioritization.
