(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later).

At Oceans, we believe that talent knows no boundaries. That’s why we connect the best and brightest professionals with career-defining opportunities that challenge, inspire, and accelerate their career growth. Our community, whom we call Divers, don’t just work—they dive deep, solve complex challenges, and make a real impact with global industry leaders. And in doing so, they don’t just support bold ideas - they expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers.

We’re hiring a Media Buyer to partner with our client, a premium direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand that is scaling its internal performance marketing function. As they transition away from an agency-based model, this role is central to building in-house capability and accelerating customer growth. With ambitious acquisition targets and significant budgets, paid media is a critical driver of their next stage of expansion.

In this role, you’ll take full ownership of Meta campaign execution and optimization, managing monthly spends of $50K–$90K. You’ll pair hands-on campaign management with strategic insights to drive new customer acquisition, maximize return on ad spend (ROAS), and shape the brand’s long-term paid media strategy. If you’re both analytically sharp and creatively curious—and thrive in fast-paced, performance-driven environments—this opportunity is designed for you.

Accountability

As a Media Buyer, your success will be defined by your ability to manage paid media campaigns with precision, optimize performance against key growth metrics, and provide strategic recommendations that guide long-term success. You’ll bring a data-driven mindset, strong analytical instincts, and the creativity needed to test and scale high-performing ad campaigns.

Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

Campaign Management (Meta Focus)

• Plan, launch, and manage paid campaigns across Facebook and Instagram.
• Own budgets in the range of $50K–$90K/month on Meta.
• Continuously optimize targeting, bidding, and creative testing to improve conversions.

Performance Analysis & Strategy

• Track and analyze campaign performance across Meta Ads Manager, Shopify, Triple Whale, and Google Analytics.
• Report on key performance indicators, including CAC, ROAS, and new customer growth.
• Provide insights and recommendations to improve efficiency and scale performance.

Creative Strategy & Collaboration

• Partner with creative teams to shape ad content that resonates with audiences.
• Identify high-performing creative themes and guide iteration cycles.
• Contribute to testing frameworks that improve efficiency in creative development.

Cross-Platform Expansion (Future Scope)

• Support campaigns across additional channels, including Google Ads and LinkedIn, as the growth strategy expands.
• Stay ahead of emerging paid media opportunities and recommend tests for future acquisition.

Colleagues

You’ll collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to ensure campaigns are executed with rigor, creative testing is prioritized, and paid media investments deliver measurable growth.

At Oceans, you’ll also receive guidance and support from our Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.
