Paid Media & Creative Specialist

Assistantly places elite Unicorns into high-performing client environments where expectations are clear, the bar is high, and the support is real.
Our Paid Media Specialists are embedded directly with growth-stage businesses and leadership teams who need technically strong, independent operators. You’ll have ongoing coaching, clear standards, and a dedicated Success Manager behind you so you can focus on doing excellent work and growing in the role.

This is not freelance or short-term work. It’s a dedicated, full-time role designed for meaningful impact, stability, and professional growth.

This role supports the Founder & CEO for cat-obsessed consumers, where growth is driven by performance marketing, rapid creative iteration, and disciplined testing. Meta advertising is a core growth lever, and this role directly owns outcomes tied to subscription growth and revenue efficiency.

You’ll run paid media end-to-end—making decisions, testing aggressively, and translating performance data into clear creative and funnel direction with minimal oversight. The client delegates ownership, not tasks, and values speed, clarity, and follow-through over handholding.
