Job Title: Paid Acquisition Specialist

Type: Full-time; Remote

Reports to: Head of PPC

Role Purpose

The Paid Acquisition Specialist executes and optimizes brand’s paid traffic campaigns with precision, speed, and accountability. You drive efficient, high-quality traffic across Meta, Google Ads, Amazon Ads, and emerging platforms—directly contributing to scalable revenue growth while building deep platform expertise under senior leadership guidance.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role built for rapid progression: master tactical execution today, earn increasing autonomy and ownership tomorrow, and grow into a full buyer/strategist as you deliver consistent results in a performance-first DTC supplements brand.

Core Accountabilities

1. Campaign Execution & Daily Optimization Hands-on management of assigned campaigns: launch ads, adjust bids, monitor spend/performance, pause low-performers, and implement daily optimizations to improve ROAS, CPA, CTR, and overall efficiency on Meta, Google Ads, Amazon Ads, and other platforms as directed.

2. Testing & Iteration Execution Run structured A/B and multivariate tests for audiences, creatives, copy, placements, offers, and funnels. Set up tests accurately, track results in real time, and surface clear observations to inform scaling and iteration decisions.

3. Performance Monitoring & Insight Contribution Track core metrics (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CPC, spend efficiency, MER) via dashboards and platform tools. Identify anomalies, flag opportunities or red flags early, and prepare concise performance summaries to support weekly reviews and reporting.

4. Tracking & Data Hygiene Support Assist in maintaining pixel/event tracking, conversion APIs, server-side events, and attribution setup. Help diagnose and resolve basic discrepancies or signal issues to ensure clean, reliable data for optimization.

5. Creative & Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner daily with creative and CRO teams: review ad performance data, provide specific feedback on assets, suggest data-backed iteration ideas, and help ensure paid traffic lands on optimized funnels, landing pages, and PDPs.

6. Process Adherence & Continuous Improvement Strictly follow SOPs, naming conventions, budget controls, and compliance standards (platform policies + FTC/FDA supplement advertising rules). Proactively suggest process tweaks and improvements as you gain experience and context.
