Paid Media Specialist
Job Description
Who We’re Looking For - Paid Media Specialist
Do you get passionate about leading new initiatives, uncovering insights from data, and seeing the direct impact of your work? Are you driven to not only optimize existing paid search campaigns but also to identify and capitalize on emerging channel opportunities in the ever-evolving search landscape? If you're a collaborative, goal-oriented individual with a hunger for performance growth, this opportunity is for you.
The ideal candidate is an experienced paid media practitioner with a strong foundation in paid search and demonstrable experience in driving significant performance improvements. Experience in other channels, including social, native advertising, display, and video, is highly valued.
We’re seeking a data-driven and results-oriented individual with a proactive mindset. You should be eager to identify and pursue new growth opportunities, challenge the status quo, and continually optimize our core ad campaigns. We want someone with the intellectual curiosity to explore new strategies and tactics, the drive to fight for their ideas, and the humility to embrace feedback and collaborate effectively.
At the center of everything we do is the desire to elevate the customer experience and create something worth talking about. We take our work—and our dreams—seriously, so if you think you’ve got the chops, we should meet.
The Impact You Will Make
WhistleOut helps people find and compare the best products for their needs. We’re looking for a paid media rock star to help us reach more people looking for mobile and internet plans. You will directly oversee a large digital media budget and collaborate with our marketing leaders and UX specialists. We’re no agency - we own and operate our Internet Brand sites. See the impact of your work by growing WhistleOut’s reach with measurable results.
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years of experience in performance-focused digital media buying, with a strong focus on paid search (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, etc.).
- Proven success managing mid to large-scale budgets ($3M+/year) and scaling campaigns profitably.
- Understanding of affiliate marketing models, lead generation, and revenue-per-click or revenue-per-session monetization strategies.
- Experience in landing page optimization, including real-world testing examples that led to measurable improvements.
- Experience in optimizing toward down-funnel quality metrics like lead-to-sale rate, client retention, or lifetime value is a plus.
- Strong proficiency with data analysis tools (Excel, Google Sheets, PowerBI, GA4, Looker, etc.) and marketing platforms (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads).
- Strong communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving and collaboration.
