How we work

We are builders aspiring to master our crafts. We care deeply about our teammates and want to win, together. We embrace the following values:

• A strong sense of ownership
• Defaulting to action
• Humans over everything else
• A continuous learning and growth mindset
• High performance, high-velocity output
• A supportive, respectful and transparent work environment

About this role

Every day, thousands of people find Scribe on social media through eye-catching ads that make them think, “WHERE has this BEEN my whole life?!?”

Scribe has over 2,500,000 users today — and many of these people signed up because they saw a paid ad they couldn’t scroll past. We’re acquiring users efficiently at scale and consistently growing month over month. But we want to go faster and we’re looking for a performance marketer focused on paid social who can help us take our paid social ad performance to the next level.

Behind the scenes of every highly converting paid social ad are the people who bring it to life. The artists who captivate audiences and convert them into users through the medium of paid social ad creative. The people who are connoisseurs of top-performing ads; who spend hours and hours in the Meta ad library studying the latest top-performing social media ads; who agonize about the anatomy of a perfect ad; who tinker with each element, frame, clip, and audio bite. The people who are always thinking up a new hypothesis, designing a new experiment, and then eagerly watching the data and metrics because they can’t wait to extract the learnings and apply them to the next experiment they’re already dreaming of. People who strategize in CPMs, CPAs, CTRs, and CPCs, but execute with the heart of a creative visionary to craft paid social ads that convert.

People like you.

This is where you come in!

What we can offer you

You’re a builder at heart who aspires to master your craft. You’re awesome and could work anywhere you want, but you choose to spend your time with us because:

• Our Slack HQ isn’t a ghost town - we have a lively Slack workspace where we chat with colleagues who are onsite and remote. You’ll be feeling super connected to the team no matter where you are.
• Unlimited PTO - we mean this, too. Take time to go do all of the other things you love, or for whatever reason (we don’t need one). Someone on the team is always traveling (you can see for yourself in our shared team calendar!)
• Life at Scribe - we love to have fun as often as we can. You’ll get to enjoy our annual Scribe Day party on Scribe’s birthday, our monthly social events, holiday events and more.
