Senior Media Buyer

Job ID: 32565010

Budget: $25 – $50 USD

Needle’s Eye Media, a paid traffic digital marketing agency based in Chicago, IL, is excited to be adding a Senior Media Buyer to our team.

If, like us, you harbor a borderline unhealthy obsession with data and enjoy helping businesses grow through your holistic understanding of digital marketing & funnel strategies, you have found your next opportunity!

Our small team is a group of dedicated, excited professionals that revel in the day-to-day problem solving required to ensure that each campaign is getting the best results. We each use our personal sense of urgency to deliver, improve, and exceed upon client expectations.

We’re looking for someone who will add to the supportive, positive, and results-focused atmosphere we have created and love.

Our growing remote team manages over $5 million dollars in profitable spending annually and our growing client list means we want you. We handle all aspects of Facebook and Google advertising for our clients. Everything from managing ad spend, to crafting innovative messaging that helps them stand out from the sea of sameness.

Who You Are:

To be a great fit, you should be web-savvy, understand direct response online advertising at a deep level, and have strong communication skills.

As for the brass tacks? You should have a detailed understanding of how to plan for, manage, and optimize a paid traffic campaign. The role is focused on setup and management of online Facebook ad campaigns (with the opportunity to work on Google Adwords for the right individual) for the purpose of fostering strong client results and retention.

You are an ideal member of our team if you are detail oriented and you can operate well under pressing deadlines and competing priorities. You are someone who always seeks to proactively deliver solutions.

We believe just about all problems can be avoided with better communication. That’s why your excellent written and verbal communication skills are absolutely essential here.

You are someone who thrives when given a client goal and the autonomy to reach for it. Collaboration is key when stuck and you will work with our team for strategy and brainstorming to keep the results rolling in. You are a supportive team player, accountable to others & able to stay positive in the face of challenges.
