Company description

Dysrupt is a performance marketing agency specializing in turning signal into scale through disciplined media buying, data-driven experimentation, and creative that is designed to perform. With deep expertise across digital, Dysrupt helps brands acquire customers efficiently while building durable demand. Born from social and built for growth, Dysrupt partners with ambitious teams to drive measurable results at every stage of the funnel.

Overview

Dysrupt is looking for a Senior Paid Media Strategist (Associate Director, Account Management) who's ready to take the next leap in their performance marketing career. You'll bring strategic rigor to a portfolio of clients, shape paid media campaigns from brief to execution, and act as a trusted advisor across platforms. You're excited by innovation, energized by solving business problems with media, and equally skilled at hands-on campaign management and big-picture thinking.

If this sounds like you, how would you answer these questions:

· Do you geek out over the impacts of CBO, IDFA, and the ideal bid strategy?

· Do you want to become an expert in the space and have a constant desire to learn more?

· Do you get excited about new dysruptive strategies and ideas that challenge the status quo? (see what we did there ??)

· Do you have passions outside of work that you can bring to our ever-evolving culture and team?

If you answered "Yes" to these questions, we would love to have a conversation!

As a Senior Paid Media Strategist, you'll oversee a cross-vertical book of business (3-4 clients), develop integrated paid media strategies across platforms, and guide both internal teams and client stakeholders with clarity and confidence. This is a client-facing role with a strong emphasis on performance marketing, but with increasing ownership of team leadership, process innovation, and strategic planning.

Responsibilities

· Own Campaign Execution: Build, launch, and optimize campaigns across key biddable platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.) with flawless precision and full accountability for performance.

· Lead Platform Strategy: Develop paid media plans and tactical approaches rooted in client goals, industry benchmarks, and historical insights.

· Drive Operational Excellence: Champion internal processes, campaign QA, pacing checks, and reporting frameworks to ensure seamless delivery across all clients.

· Deliver Performance Insights: Analyze campaign data, uncover trends, and package insights into compelling stories that drive client trust and decision-making.

· Collaborate Cross-functionally: Partner closely with Client Leads, Creative, and Analytics to ensure your strategies ladder up to broader campaign goals.

· Support Innovation & Testing: Own test design and execution within your book of business, helping move both client performance and agency capabilities forward.

· Contribute to Culture: Share knowledge, platform updates, and POVs across the team to keep Dysrupt's media offering sharp, fast, and future-focused.

Qualifications

· 5-6 years of performance marketing experience managing paid social and digital media campaigns, especially across Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.

· Expert-level knowledge of paid media campaign structures, pacing, optimization levers, and KPI alignment.

· Deep comfort with large datasets, ad tech tools, and reporting platforms like Google Data Studio (Looker Studio).

· Clear and confident communicator-able to explain strategies and insights to clients and internal partners alike.

· Proven track record of running complex campaigns independently with speed, accuracy, and performance results.

· A proactive and solutions-oriented mindset; you identify issues early and take initiative to solve them.

· Strong organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple accounts and priorities.

Nice to Have

· Certifications from Meta, Google, or other key platforms

· Experience with creative performance analysis or working closely with creative teams

· Familiarity with MMM, incrementality testing, or third-party measurement tools

Why Dysrupt?

We're not just another performance shop. At Dysrupt, we fuse strategy, culture, and craft to create marketing that drives business-and people-forward. We believe in curiosity, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of what media can do.
