What You'll Do

Campaign Strategy and Management: 

• Manage paid media campaigns across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, YouTube, and other relevant platforms.
• Own campaign setup, targeting, budgeting, bidding, optimization, testing, and performance reporting.
• Manage multiple builder accounts with different markets, communities, budgets, and business objectives.
• Develop campaign strategies that connect advertising, creative, landing pages, offers, and audience targeting.
• Ensure campaigns are structured to generate qualified leads, appointments, and measurable revenue-not only traffic or impressions.

Campaign Innovation

• Proactively bring forward new campaign concepts, targeting strategies, offers, and channel opportunities.
• Develop and maintain a paid media testing roadmap across client accounts.
• Identify emerging platforms and technologies that may create opportunities for home builders.
• Research, recommend, and pilot channels such as geofencing, retargeting platforms, listing platforms, AI advertising, and other emerging media opportunities.
• Turn successful tests into repeatable strategies, presentations, and standard operating procedures.
• Balance experimentation with the budget, conversion volume, and performance requirements of each account.

Landing Pages and Conversion Strategy

• Evaluate the complete customer journey from advertisement to landing page to lead conversion.
• Develop landing-page concepts aligned with specific campaigns, audiences, communities, and offers.
• Provide recommendations for messaging, page structure, imagery, forms, calls to action, and conversion paths.
• Partner with design, content, web, and RevOps teams to launch landing pages efficiently.
• Create and manage structured A/B tests that improve conversion rates and lead quality.

Creative Strategy

• Develop creative briefs for paid search, paid social, display, video, and retargeting campaigns.
• Regularly introduce new ad concepts, messaging angles, offers, imagery, and formats.
• Review active creative performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with designers and content specialists while maintaining ownership of the campaign strategy.
• Ensure creative is tailored to the audience, platform, market, and stage of the buyer journey.

Analytics and Performance

• Monitor campaign performance and make data-informed optimization decisions.
• Analyze cost per lead, cost per qualified lead, conversion rate, appointment volume, lead quality, and revenue contribution.
• Build clear performance reports that explain what happened, why it happened, and what should happen next.
• Verify conversion tracking and attribution across advertising platforms, websites, landing pages, and CRM systems.
• Communicate risks, opportunities, tests, and recommendations before they require leadership intervention.

What Success Looks Like

• New campaign ideas are consistently introduced without waiting for leadership to initiate them.
• Campaigns are launched, tested, and improved at a faster pace.
• Paid media strategy extends beyond basic campaign setup and optimization.
• Landing pages, creative, targeting, and media strategy operate as one connected campaign.
• Client accounts achieve measurable improvements in qualified lead generation and conversion.
• Successful tests are turned into repeatable offerings that can be deployed across additional builders.
• The paid media team operates proactively and does not depend on weekly direction from senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

• Availability: Must be able to work traditional business hours operating in Central Time. 
• Experience: 3+ years of hands-on paid media experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing Google Ads and Meta advertising campaigns.
• Strong understanding of paid search, paid social, retargeting, conversion optimization, and audience strategy.
