We’re looking for a strategic, data-driven Director of Acquisition to lead performance media efforts across Programmatic, Search, and Social channels—with a heavy emphasis on Programmatic media buying and strategy.

  • Own end-to-end campaign strategy and execution across DV360, The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, Google Ads, Meta, and more
  • Build and present multi-channel media plans with clear budget allocations, KPIs, pacing, and testing roadmaps
  • Drive continuous optimization using a deep understanding of real-time bidding, audience segmentation, and platform algorithms
  • Collaborate with creative and analytics teams to develop test-and-learn strategies that improve performance across all channels
  • Provide high-touch communication with clients, including strategic recommendations, performance reporting, and actionable next steps
  • Stay ahead of trends in ad tech, platform capabilities, and data privacy regulations to inform and future-proof campaign strategy
  • Analyze performance across channels, synthesize insights, and deliver executive-level reporting and recommendations
  • Develop strategic roadmaps and test plans that ladder up to client business goals, with a strong focus on efficiency and scale
  • Train and mentor junior team members in performance marketing best practices and platform fundamentals

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in paid media with deep, hands-on expertise in Programmatic advertising (DV360, The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP)
  • Proven experience managing large-scale, data-driven media campaigns across Search (Google/Bing) and Social (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn)
  • Skilled in performance analytics, forecasting, pacing, A/B testing, and translating insights into action
  • Comfortable managing multi-million dollar budgets with accountability to strict performance KPI
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills, with the ability to simplify complexity and drive alignment
  • Strong understanding of attribution models, conversion tracking, and incrementality testing
  • Self-starter mindset and thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and collaborative environment
