Advertising and Promotions ManagersMarketing ManagersMarket Research Analysts and Marketing SpecialistsMva Lead Generation Senior Media Buyer I want to hire you... and pay you a lot of money. But this role isn't for most media buyers. If you're a senior media buyer based in the U.S. who is already actively managing accounts spending 7 figures per month on Meta and/or Google, keep reading. Because if you're genuinely elite at media buying, obsessed with performance, and want to operate at a scale where small improvements can have massive impact, this could be the opportunity you're looking for. We operate at serious scale. You'll be working across 7-figure monthly advertising budgets, multiple platforms, multiple states and markets, and a creative operation capable of producing and testing a massive volume of new ads. We don't need someone to simply maintain what we've built. We want someone who can help us make it significantly better.
The Role:
- This is not a traditional media buyer role.
- We don't need someone who waits for instructions, adjusts budgets, turns off bad ads, and calls it media buying.
- And we definitely don't need someone who requires leadership to constantly tell them where the next opportunity is.
- We're looking for someone who can take real ownership over performance.
- Someone who can look across Meta, Google, states, campaigns, and hundreds of creatives and quickly determine:
- Where should we spend more?
- Where should we spend less?
- What's starting to work that we haven't fully capitalized on yet?
- Why is this state underperforming?
- What winning ads haven't we expanded yet?
- What creative are we missing?
- What should we test next?
- Then actually execute.
- You won't just optimize campaigns.
- You'll help determine where the next level of growth comes from.
- What You'll Actually Own1. Performance & Scaling
- You'll help manage and optimize high-spend campaigns across Meta and Google, including YouTube, Search, and Performance Max.
- You'll continuously look across platforms and states to identify:
- Scaling opportunities
- Budget reallocation opportunities
- Performance inefficiencies
- Underperforming markets
- Testing gaps
- New strategies worth implementing
- We expect you to understand where our money is going, what it's producing, and where the next dollar should be spent.
- You'll work with other media buyers and leadership on cross-platform and state-level budget strategy to hit our volume and profitability goals.2. Creative Expansion
- At our scale, media buying and creative strategy cannot operate separately.
- You'll know our best-performing ads.
- You'll know our best-performing angles.
- You'll know which concepts are starting to gain traction.
- And you'll make sure we capitalize on them.
That means constantly thinking:"This is working here → why aren't we running it here, here, and here?""This angle is crushing on Meta → let's test it on YouTube.""This state-specific concept is working → let's build it for every relevant market.""We're relying too heavily on UGC here → let's expand our creative diversity.""This angle is starting to work → creative team needs to build 10 more variations before everyone else catches it."You'll bridge the gap between performance data and the creative team.
The creative team should always know what's working, what's starting to work, what's getting fatigued, and what we need more of.3. Underperforming Markets
When a state isn't producing enough volume, your job isn't simply to say:"Performance is bad."Your job is to figure out why.
Is it creative?
Campaign structure?
Budget allocation?
Lack of creative diversity?
A winning angle we haven't brought over from another market?
Platform mix?
Audience?
Offer?
Landing page?
Then build and execute a plan to improve it.
We want problem solvers, not reporters.4. Media Buying Operations
You'll help own the operational side of running advertising at scale.
That includes:
Weekly and monthly spend planning and pacing
Cross-platform and state-level budget allocation
Campaign launches
Creative launches across Meta and GoogleKey media buying Google Sheets and reporting
Performance tracking
Testing frameworks
Campaign structure
Account organization
Making sure nothing falls through the cracks
You'll know how our campaigns are structured and understand what is happening across the accounts without needing someone else to explain it to you.5. Account Monitoring
When you're responsible for significant advertising spend, performance doesn't stop because it's Saturday.
You'll be expected to check campaigns over weekends when necessary to ensure:
Nothing is broken
Spend is behaving correctly
Volume remains healthy
Major performance issues are caught quickly
High-spending problem campaigns or ads aren't running unchecked
You'll also occasionally need to turn campaigns on/off or make critical changes outside normal business hours when directed by Quintessa leadership.
This isn't about unnecessarily working 24/7.It's about understanding the responsibility that comes with operating large advertising budgets.6. Innovation
We don't want someone who only knows how to execute our existing playbook.
We want you improving it.
You should constantly be paying attention to:
What other elite advertisers are doing
New Meta strategies
New Google strategies
Creative trends
New campaign structures
New platforms
New tools
New testing methodologies
Opportunities we're currently missing
Then ask:"How can we use this?"Bring ideas.
Challenge existing assumptions.
Run tests.
Learn from them.
Then iterate.
The Standard:
This is not a "set it and forget it" media buying role.
We move fast.
We spend aggressively when something works.
We cut things when they don't.
We test constantly.
We expect people to communicate quickly and make decisions.
And we're obsessed with finding incremental improvements because at our scale, small improvements compound into massive results.
You should naturally find yourself checking performance because you're curious about what happened.
You should get excited when you find an ad that's starting to take off.
You should be annoyed when you see an obvious scaling opportunity sitting untouched.
You should constantly be asking:
