The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Media Buyer / Growth Operator who specializes in direct response marketing for DTC supplement brands and has hands-on experience managing full-funnel performance.

You should have a proven track record of scaling campaigns to $1M+ per month in spend while maintaining strict CAC targets.

Full Funnel Optimization
- Own and optimize the entire acquisition funnel, including:
- Ad → Landing Page → Checkout → Post-purchase flow
- Improve conversion rates, AOV, and LTV
- Identify and fix drop-offs across the funnel
Direct Response & Creative Strategy
- Collaborate with or lead creative strategy:

Requirements
- Proven experience managing paid media for DTC supplement or vitamin brands
- Demonstrated success scaling campaigns to $1M+/month in ad spend

- Hands-on experience with:
- Advertorial funnels

- Highly analytical and data-driven
- Comfortable operating in a startup environment (fast, scrappy, ownership-heavy)
Nice to Have

- Experience working closely with creative teams or managing them
- Knowledge of compliance in the supplement/health space
Compensation
- Competitive base + performance-based bonuses tied to CAC and revenue goals

- Potential for long-term upside with the company
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage - Medical, Dental and Vision
- Paid vacation
- Paid sick and mental health days
- Tuition Reimbursement - Receive support for continued education with tuition expense reimbursement up to eligible limits
- Growth & Development - Unlock professional growth through mentorship, ongoing learning opportunities, tuition reimbursement, and performance-based raises
Who You Are
- You think in terms of profit and unit economics, not vanity metrics
- You’ve scaled aggressively before and know what breaks at scale
- You understand that ads + funnel + offer = growth
- You want to build something from the ground up, not just manage accounts
