The Reality Check
We're a profitable, omnichannel snack brand in 5,000+ retail doors (with Kroger adding 2,000 more). We need someone who's in Facebook Ads Manager RIGHT NOW, not someone who "oversaw media buying" last year. If you haven't personally built a campaign this week, stop reading.
What You'll Actually DoOwn the entire growth engine - from keyboard to revenue. You'll be in ads manager daily, negotiating with creators directly, and building campaigns that drive both online sales and in-store velocities. This isn't a management role. It's an execution role that eventually earns the right to build a team.
Core Ownership AreasPerformance Marketing (Hands on Keyboard)
- Personally manage and optimize $500K-$1M/month in Meta/Google spend
- Build campaigns, test audiences, write ad copy, analyze creative data YOURSELF
- Design geo-targeted campaigns for our retail partners (especially Kroger launch)
- If you haven't touched Facebook Ads Manager this week, this isn't for you
Creator & Influencer Excellence (Direct Relationships)
- Personally manage whitelisting campaigns across 100+ creators
- YOU negotiate with macro influencers and You Tubers (10M+ subscribers)
- YOU write the briefs, YOU review the content, YOU launch the ads
- Build creator content that drives DTC sales AND retail traffic
- No "my team handled creators" - YOU handle creators
Tik Tok Shop & Retail Activation
- Build our Tik Tok Shop from YOUR keyboard to $1M+/month
- Create geo-targeted digital campaigns that drive store velocities
- Track digital → retail impact and optimize based on real velocity data
- Own Kroger launch digital strategy and execution
Brand-Side Experience Only
We exclusively hire from brands. Period. No agencies. No exceptions. If you've spent your career spending other people's money without P&L accountability, this role isn't for you.
Must Have:
- Currently running $300K+/month in paid spend YOURSELF (not your team)
- Opened Facebook Ads Manager TODAY (we'll ask to screenshare)
- Personal relationships with 50+ creators you've whitelisted
- Have personally negotiated influencer deals (not through an agency)
- Worked at profitable brands between $10M-$100M
- Understand retail velocities and digital's impact on them
We will ask you to:
- Screenshare your Facebook Ads Manager during the interview
- Show us a campaign you optimized THIS WEEK
- Pull up actual creator conversations in your inbox
- Walk through your personal workflow for launching whitelisting campaigns
- If you can't do this, don't apply

Our founder is spread across three brands. You'll have full autonomy AND significant equity to build the growth engine. But you have to BUILD it yourself first, not manage others to do it.
Do NOT Apply If:- You "oversaw" media buying but didn't do it yourself
- You "managed a team" that ran campaigns
- You last opened Facebook Ads Manager in 2023
- You think creative strategy means mood boards
- You've never felt the pain of missing ROAS targets with YOUR budget
Send ONLY these three things:
Subject line: "I personally scaled [Brand] from $X to $Y"
No agencies. No "I managed someone who did this." No exceptions.
If you're still reading and can actually do what we're asking, you'll build serious wealth here through our equity plan. But you have to be able to DO THE WORK, not talk about it.
