Paid Media Manager (Contract / Hourly)

Paid media on computer screen

Blennd is seeking a senior-level Paid Media Manager to own and operate paid acquisition across multiple client accounts. This is a true end-to-end paid media role — from strategy through execution, optimization, and reporting.

This role is best suited for an experienced solo consultant or full-time contractor who is actively building their book of business. In our experience, this is not a good fit for someone attempting to layer this on top of a full-time job, and we want to be transparent about that upfront.

You will be supported by our Project Managers, Head of Growth, designers, and developers — but you will be the primary owner of paid media strategy and performance.

/ What You’ll Do
  • Own paid media strategy across B2B, ABM, and B2C/DTC clients.
  • Develop multi-channel media plans aligned to client goals and funnel stages.
  • Prepare creative briefs and collaborate with design and copy teams.
  • Build, launch, and manage campaigns across platforms (“pull the levers”).
  • Set up, maintain, and validate tracking, attribution, and reporting.
  • Actively optimize campaigns toward client KPIs (not vanity metrics).
  • Participate in:

    • 4–6 hours/week of pre-scheduled client and internal meetings (attendance is required).
    • Ongoing async collaboration via Slack and email.
/ Required Experience & Skills (Non-Negotiable)
  • Agency experience or experience managing multiple clients simultaneously.
  • Broad paid media background across: B2B, ABM, B2C / DTC
  • Proven ability to build and execute multi-channel strategies.
  • Senior-level experience with: Meta Ads, Google Ads, GA4, Google Tag Manager (GTM)
  • Mid-level experience with: LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, Snap Ads, X (Twitter) Ads
  • Strong experience with: Analytics and performance reporting, Conversion tracking and attribution, KPI-driven optimization
  • Comfortable working within agency operations: Project management tools, Ticketing systems, Time tracking
  • Ability to: Scope and estimate time requirements, Report against time allocation, Be accountable to mutually agreed timelines and deliverables
/ Bonus Experience
  • Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
  • Higher-education marketing
/ Why This Role Is Different

This is not a “set it and forget it” execution role. This is a strategic operator role for someone who wants to:

  • Own outcomes
  • Influence creative and funnel decisions
  • Be accountable to real performance and business results

If that excites you — we’d love to talk.
