The Paid Social Director is a full-time position on the Media Activation team, responsible for managing end-to-end paid social campaigns for both brand-direct and agency clients.

Responsibilities encompass overseeing all aspects of campaign setup, optimization, and analysis, beginning with serving as a strategic partner and primary point of contact for our clients. We need an expert who thrives in client-facing situations, someone who can identify what clients need and guide them in the right direction to best support their business goals.

• Strategic Insights & Reporting: Deliver performance updates on a cadence aligned with client requirements. These updates should go beyond basic metrics to provide meaningful insights that guide broader business decisions.
• Platform Performance: Drive results for large-scale campaigns primarily on Meta and TikTok, with additional management of LinkedIn, Snapchat, and other social channels as required by the client.
• Team Oversight & Execution: Coordinate with internal operations teams to prioritize tasks and maintain a high standard of execution accuracy across all accounts.
• Data Strategy: Use the Zeta Data Cloud to identify and implement sophisticated audience targeting strategies to improve campaign performance.

• Platform Knowledge: Strong experience with TikTok is highly preferred. Familiarity with LinkedIn, Snapchat, Reddit, or Pinterest is a plus.
• Technical Proficiency: A deep understanding of media mechanics, including KPI optimization, audience targeting, pixel/technical implementations (CAPI), and budget management.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous quantitative skills and a high bar for quality and accuracy in campaign execution.
• Education: BA/BS degree, including quantitative coursework (exceptions made for highly experienced candidates).
