Some of the roles we hire for have a client ready to go right away. Others dont yet, and either way, you go through the same process. When theres no client lined up yet, we spend that time getting to know people properly, so were not starting from zero the moment one does show up. Your recruiter will tell you plainly which situation applies to you.

What this job actually is

A campaign doesnt stop needing attention once it launches. Somebody has to watch whats happening after the ads go live, catch whats working, and use that to shape the next round of copy, creative, and sends. Thats this role. Youre not just building campaigns, youre the one adjusting them while theyre running, based on what the numbers actually say.

The specific platforms and mix of work can shift depending on the business youre supporting. What stays the same is the job itself: own the campaign after it launches, not just before.

What youll actually do

• Plan, launch, and adjust paid campaigns on Meta, Google, and LinkedIn, changing budgets and targeting as results come in
• Work with writers and designers to get ad copy and creative ready, then check it against whats actually converting
• Build and send email and SMS campaigns in Klaviyo or Mailchimp, testing subject lines and timing to improve opens and clicks
• Use ChatGPT or similar tools to draft ad variations and speed up execution, not to replace your own judgment on what to actually run
• Pull performance numbers on a regular schedule and turn them into a short list of what to change next, not just a deck of charts
• Coordinate with design, content, and any project managers on the account so campaigns go out on time and nobodys caught off guard

Requirements

What were actually looking for

• 2-5 years running digital marketing campaigns end to end, with real ownership of results
• Hands-on experience running paid ads in Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Campaign Manager
• Proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Premiere for basic creative edits and asset prep
• Real experience running email or SMS campaigns in Klaviyo or Mailchimp
• Written English thats genuinely fluent, not good enough, since youll be writing copy customers actually see
• Experience with ChatGPT or similar AI tools, SEO or Google Analytics/SEMrush, basic HTML/CSS for email templates, or extra video editing skills is a plus, not a requirement

A few things that matter more than they sound like they should

• Internet that doesnt cut out mid-launch or during a client call
• You show up on time, every time
• If a campaigns underperforming or something looks off, you flag it early instead of hoping it sorts itself out
• You follow through on what you said youd do without someone having to chase you for it

Benefits

How the process actually works

Six steps. Same steps whether or not theres a client waiting.

1. We read your CV. Not a keyword scan, an actual read. If its clearly AI-generated with nothing specific in it, thats usually obvious and it doesnt help you.
2. A short intro video. Two minutes of you talking is worth more than a page of text. Were checking if youre clear and comfortable on camera, your English skills, and your professional setup (camera, lighting, sound...)
3. A call with a recruiter, about 30 minutes. Well ask you to walk us through something real youve done, so have a specific example ready instead of a general answer.
4. A couple of short take-home exercises. Nothing sneaky, nothing that takes your whole evening.
5. A reference check. Well ask for someone who actually managed or worked closely with you, not a character reference.
6. If a clients ready: one interview with them. They make the final call on who they hire, but you dont repeat anything youve already done here.

Heres the honest part: sometimes when you finish this process, theres no job waiting yet. Thats not a runaround, its how we work. Wed rather spend the time getting to know good people properly now, so that when a client does come looking for someone like you, we already know youre ready, instead of starting the search from scratch. If thats your situation, you wont be left guessing. Well tell you where things stand, including when the honest answer is nothing new yet. And if you take another job while youre waiting, thats completely fine, just tell us, and well pick things back up whenever the timing works for you.

What to actually expect from us

If you make it to an interview, youll get real, specific feedback about how it went either way, not a copy-paste line. If your CV doesnt move forward past the application stage, youll still hear back, but itll be a quick automated note rather than a personal one. With how many applications a posting like this gets, thats the only honest way we can get back to everyone fast.
