Junior Media Buyer

Description:

Learn Fast. Test Relentlessly. Help Scale Paid Acquisition.

Job Snapshot

We're looking for a highly analytical and proactive Junior Media Buyer to support and execute paid acquisition campaigns across Meta.

This role is ideal for someone who already has hands-on experience managing ad campaigns and wants to accelerate their growth inside a fast-moving ecommerce environment.

You'll work closely with the Head of Growth to launch campaigns, test creatives, analyse performance, and optimise accounts based on real data.

This is not an admin role.

You will be inside the ad accounts every day, learning how profitable customer acquisition actually works.

About the Company

We are a fast-growing international ecommerce brand operating primarily in the wellness space.

Our customers are largely based in the US and UK, and our growth is driven by performance marketing, creative testing, and data-driven decision-making.

We move quickly, value initiative, and use AI tools extensively to improve execution speed and creative output.

The Role Overview

This role exists to help scale paid acquisition across Meta while maintaining strong performance and accurate tracking.

You will assist in campaign management, creative testing, reporting, optimisation, and analytics.

The goal is to develop you into a highly capable performance marketer over time.

4. Reporting & Insights

Prepare performance reports and communicate findings clearly to the team.

Assist with Meta Pixel, CAPI, conversion tracking, and analytics investigations to ensure data accuracy.

6. AI-Powered Marketing

Use AI tools to generate creative variations, analyse performance trends, and accelerate testing velocity.
