About the role

The Mission

We are looking for a high-performance Marketing & Paid Ads Manager to drive our entire growth engine—both Paid and Organic.

You own the ecosystem. We have a massive asset (100k+ YouTube Subscribers & large Email List) and significant ad budget capability. Your job is to monetize both. There will be months where we scale Paid Ads aggressively ($50k+), and months where we turn ads OFF and rely 100% on Organic. You must be able to pivot instantly and drive revenue in either scenario.

The Non-Negotiables

If you do not meet these four specific criteria, do not apply.

  • Proven Ad Spend Experience ($20k - $50k+/mo)
    • You must have hands-on experience managing monthly budgets of $20,000 minimum. We scale aggressively during peak seasons ($2k/day).
    • You must be comfortable spending significant budgets on YouTube & Meta without hesitation, using data (Hyros) to justify every dollar.
  • Organic Strategy & Channel Ownership (100k+ Subs)
    • You are not just buying traffic; you are nurturing a community.
    • You will own the strategy for our 100k+ YouTube Channel and Email List.
    • You understand the YouTube algorithm (CTR, AVD, Session Time) and how to convert views into sales calls without killing reach.
    • You are responsible for growth when Paid Ads are paused.
  • Elite Copywriting
    • We do not hire marketers who cannot write. You must understand the psychology of persuasion across all formats: Ad Scripts, Email Sequences, Funnel Headlines, and Thumbnail Text.

Core Competencies & Responsibilities

This is a "Full Stack" role. You must possess deep experience in these three pillars:

  1. Organic Growth & Content Direction (The Engine)

    • YouTube Command Center: You own the channel strategy. This includes topic research, scripting, and ensuring the "packaging" (Title + Thumbnail) achieves a high Click-Through-Rate (CTR). You provide the vision; the editor executes.
    • Thumbnail Science: You understand that the Thumbnail is the most important ad creative. You provide specific direction to designers on composition, contrast, curiosity gaps, and copy overlays.
    • Short-Form Strategy: You drive the vertical video strategy (Shorts/Reels/TikTok). You know how to repurpose long-form content into viral clips and how to script original short-form content that drives traffic to the main offer.
    • Content Assets: You write and structure Video Sales Letters (VSLs) and website content that persuades organic traffic to take action.
  2. Paid Acquisition (The Gas)

    • Media Buying Strategy: Strategic management of YouTube and Meta campaigns. You understand how to scale winners and cut losers based on ROAS/CPA.
    • Data Integrity: You are proficient in Hyros and understand that bad data leads to bad decisions. You audit the tracking to ensure 100% accuracy.
    • Testing Methodology: You run scientific tests on creatives, audiences, and offers. You don't just "boost posts"; you build campaigns with clear hypotheses.
  3. Tech, Systems & Automation (The Infrastructure)

    • Architect vs. Builder: You will have an Automation Specialist to help build, but you are the Architect. You map out the customer journey and define the logic for the automations.
    • System Competency: While you have support, you must be "dangerous" enough to fix a broken Zapier connection or ManyChat flow yourself if needed. You understand how data passes from Ad -> Landing Page -> CRM.
    • Funnel Logic (GHL): You oversee the architecture inside GoHighLevel . You ensure pipelines, tags, and email triggers are set up correctly to maximize lead conversion.

The Tech Stack (Must Haves)

  • Ads: Google Ads (YouTube) / Meta Ads Manager
  • Organic/Social: YouTube Studio / ManyChat
  • Data/Tracking: Hyros
  • CRM/Funnels: GoHighLevel (GHL)
  • Automation: Zapier / Make (Architect level understanding)
  • Project Mgmt: Notion / Asana

Defined Outcomes (What Winning Looks Like)

  • Revenue Consistency: You drive leads and sales calls consistently, whether via $50k ad spend or pure organic strategy.
  • Organic Growth: You increase the subscriber base and email list engagement through strategic content and ManyChat funnels.
  • Creative Performance: Your direction leads to higher CTRs on thumbnails and ads.
  • Operational Speed: You remove friction for the Founder by having scripts, plans, and systems ready to go.
