About the Role

We’re looking for a YouTube Media Buyer who’s not just strategic and data-driven—but hungry to win, willing to learn, and flexible enough to adapt fast.

  • Research audiences, keywords, and competitors to sharpen targeting and creative strategies.
  • Work closely with creatives to develop, test, and iterate winning video ads, thumbnails, and copy.
  • Optimize campaigns for ROAS, CPA, CPL using data analysis, A / B testing, and CRO best practices.
  • Collaborate with funnel and dev teams to ensure smooth integration between ads, landing pages, and sales flows.
  • Track and report campaign performance with actionable insights for scaling and improving.
  • Stay on top of YouTube Ads platform updates, compliance policies, and emerging trends.
  • Manage and forecast ad budgets to maximize profitable growth.
  • Find new opportunities to expand campaigns and test creative innovations.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience running YouTube / Google Ads campaigns with strong direct response results.
  • Deep hands-on expertise in Google Ads (ad formats, targeting, reporting, analytics).
  • Solid track record scaling campaigns for info products, coaching, or online education.
  • Strong analytical skills—you know how to turn data into actionable insights.
  • Collaborative mindset—you’ll work closely with creative and funnel teams to align strategy.
  • Familiarity with sales funnels, VSLs, and direct response marketing principles.
  • Coachable, adaptable, and willing to experiment and iterate fast.
  • Self-starter with strong organizational skills and accountability to own projects start-to-finish.
  • Bonus : You’re a shark at YouTube ads—but you check your ego at the door, stay open to feedback, and play well with others.
  • Why Join Awesomely?

  • Be part of a mission-driven, remote-first company shaping the future of financial education.
  • Work with a quirky, collaborative team passionate about growth and impact.
  • Competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, PTO, and matching 401K.
