Must have: 

• You have personally scaled Meta lead gen spend from hundreds of thousands to over $1M/month while or improving CPL and lead quality

This role is ideal for a proven, hands-on operator, ready to step into broader ownership and executive leadership. 

Responsibilities:  

• Own paid social & native display advertising for the Home Services and Automotive verticals

• Create a disciplined testing program across creative, audiences, offers, and campaign structure. 

• Partner with Creative, Analytics, Engineering, Sales, and vertical leadership to align paid media strategy with business priorities. 

• Strengthen measurement and reporting across Meta Pixel, Conversions API, offline conversions, attribution, and lead quality (acceptance rates, contact rates, appointment rates, close rates).

• Develop the paid social playbook, operating model, processes, and team structure needed to scale the channel across Buyerlink. 

• Share clear performance insights, risks, recommendations, and investment plans with senior leadership. 

What You’ll Bring 

• 7+ years of performance marketing experience, including substantial ownership of hands-on paid social and native advertising.

• Strong understanding of local-market acquisition, service-area constraints, seasonality, consumer intent, and lead-quality economics. 

• Proven ability to manage meaningful paid media budgets and scale investment based on business performance. 

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with performance data, financial metrics, attribution, and business KPIs. 

• Experience designing and leading creative, audience, conversion, and market-testing programs.

The Leadership Opportunity 

This is an opportunity to define Buyerlink’s paid media capability from the ground up.
