Senior Paid Media & Growth Strategist

At Sandhill Digital, we don’t just run ads—we help brands grow faster, smarter, and more sustainably. We’re looking for a Senior Paid Media & Growth Strategist who thrives at the intersection of vision and execution: someone who can own the strategic direction for clients, guide campaigns toward revenue and efficiency goals, and take accountability for the results.

If this seems like you, you seem like us — and we should talk.

This role is fully remote, highly entrepreneurial, and designed for someone who wants to take true ownership. You’ll lead paid media strategy for a portfolio of clients, report directly to the clients and Sandhill’s CEO / co-Founder, and collaborate with a data-driven team that sees itself as a teammate to our clients, not just their agency.

Why work here? At Sandhill, we believe marketing should mean more than chasing clicks. We exist to help great brands connect with people in ways that enrich their lives — and to do it with rigor, creativity, and care. Joining Sandhill means joining a team where your ideas matter, your standards are matched, and your work builds something bigger than any one campaign. If you’re looking for a place where impact and meaning outweigh bureaucracy and ego, you’ll feel at home here.

Responsibilities

• Lead strategy for a portfolio of Sandhill’s clients, setting the vision for growth across paid channels.
• Own results: be accountable for client revenue, MER, CAC, and other efficiency targets.
• Develop and present roadmaps: compile monthly performance reports and quarterly growth strategies for clients and Sandhill’s leadership.
• Direct and mentor the Marketing Coordinator, providing oversight and guidance on ad builds to ensure flawless execution of your strategic vision.
• Review and refine optimizations — pacing, bids, creative testing, and segmentation — while maintaining a big-picture, revenue-focused view.
• Troubleshoot tracking and attribution (pixels, conversion APIs, UTMs, cross-platform models) to maintain data integrity.
• Partner with creative and content teams to ensure campaigns align with brand identity, messaging, and performance goals.
• Lead client communication: present insights, guide strategic decisions, and build long-term relationships as the trusted advisor for paid growth.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the Email/SMS Marketing Manager, SEO Manager, and Marketing Coordinator to develop clear, data-driven reports and translate analytics into actionable, client-friendly insights.
• Think beyond individual marketing channels: this isn’t a channel-specific role. You’ll be expected to understand and orchestrate cross-platform strategies, ensuring every channel works in concert to achieve overarching client goals.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of managing client cross-platform marketing strategy.
• 4+ years managing paid campaigns across Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.
• 4+ years working with analytics tools (Google Analytics, TripleWhale, Mixpanel, etc.) and attribution models.
• 3+ years managing client relationships and scaling budgets.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in acquisition marketing.
• Demonstrated ability to own client strategy and results, not just execution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with eCommerce clients; Shopify strongly preferred.
• Experience with B2B campaigns and marketing-to-sales handoff processes.
• 2+ years of experience with Google Tag Manager.
• Strong client communication and presentation skills.
• Strong analytical ability; proven track record of turning data into growth-driving strategies.
• Experience guiding junior team members and ensuring alignment to strategy.
• Self-starter, ambitious, resourceful, collaborative.
• Relentlessly high standards paired with humility and a team-first mindset.
• Experience setting up and troubleshooting data feeds is a plus, but not required.

Benefits & Perks

• Performance-based bonus opportunities.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Paid time off.
• 401k matching.
• Education reimbursement for career-growth skills.
