Paid Media Manager

Job Description

We’re not looking for someone to “manage campaigns.” We’re looking for someone to own performance.

Level Agency is hiring a hands-on, performance-obsessed Paid Media Manager to drive measurable impact across key accounts.

You’ll be deep in-platform—building, optimizing, testing, and improving campaigns every day. This is not a coordination role. This is for someone who takes pride in execution and feels accountable for results.

If “good enough” has never felt good enough to you, you’ll fit right in.

This Isn’t for Everyone

We’re building something rare: a place where performance, accountability, and growth all show up—every day.

You’ll thrive here if:

• ✅ You enjoy being in-platform and owning campaign execution end-to-end
• ✅ You think in outcomes (pipeline, revenue, efficiency)—not just clicks
• ✅ You constantly test, iterate, and push performance forward
• ✅ You take initiative and solve problems without waiting
• ✅ You care deeply about the quality and impact of your work

And you’ll struggle here if:

• ❌ You prefer high-level strategy over hands-on execution
• ❌ You wait for direction instead of taking ownership
• ❌ You’re comfortable with “good enough” performance
• ❌ You avoid digging into data or troubleshooting issues
• ❌ You see campaign management as a checklist—not a craft
