Introduction

This job listing is related to marketing and advertising, NOT logistics.

Mission Sierra Media is a fast-growing performance marketing agency hiring a remote Meta & Google Ads Media Buyer (part-time to start, with a path to full-time). We manage paid ad campaigns for home-service and growth-focused clients across the US, and we need someone who can take ownership over targeting strategy with real judgment and critical thinking, not just execute a checklist.

Duties & Responsibilities

Build, launch, and manage Meta and Google Ads campaigns end-to-end for multiple clients
Set and refine geographic and audience targeting based on each client’s actual service area and business logic, not generic interest-based targeting
Set up and maintain automations in our Go High Level CRM (lead routing, follow-up drip sequences, pipeline/KPI tracking)
Create ad graphics and static ad creative using Canva and AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for client campaigns
Schedule and manage social media content across Meta platforms (Facebook/Instagram), including captions, hashtags, and platform-specific posting cadence
Set up and monitor weekly performance reporting for client ad accounts
Follow established SOPs for campaign setup, reporting, and client communication
Monitor campaign performance daily and optimize for lead quality and cost efficiency
Attend 2x weekly team morning meetings
Communicate clearly with the internal team on campaign status, results, and any issues
Troubleshoot underperforming campaigns independently before escalating
Perform other virtual assistant duties as assigned

Work anywhere within the following US hours → South Africa local time (for Duties & Responsibilities):

6:00 AM–4:00 PM US Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) = 1:00 PM–11:00 PM South Africa Standard Time (SAST)

Desired Experience & Qualification

Desired Experience & Qualification:

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Demonstrated ability to independently set and justify geographic ad targeting based on a client’s real service area and business logic, not generic interest, lookalike, or AI-generated targeting suggestions taken at face value
Experience correctly configuring Meta Lead Ads campaigns for actual lead generation (not traffic or awareness objectives)
Proper researching and marketing skills
Strong communication and extreme ownership: resolves account-level issues (ad account restrictions, pixel/lead-form errors, campaign anomalies) independently before escalating
Minimum 12 months of advertising and marketing experience
Minimum 12 months of hands-on experience running live campaigns in Go High Level or a similar CRM that integrates with Meta and Google Ads (required)
Proven experience managing live ad campaigns in Meta Ads Manager and Meta Business Manager
Experience with Google Ads Manager
Comfortable using Canva for ad creative and graphics
Experience with Slack for daily team communication
Familiarity with AI tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT) to support, not replace, content and ad creative workflows
Comfortable recording and reviewing Loom videos for async communication/training
Strong English proficiency, both written and verbal
Experience with Google Drive/Sheets for file and data management

Nice to have: experience with Dropbox and Frame.io for video asset review and approval workflows, and YouTube/Google Ads channel linking and campaign management

Personality Qualifications:

High sense of ownership: resolves problems proactively rather than waiting to be told or escalating by default
Comfortable asking clarifying questions rather than guessing or copy-pasting assumptions from a form
Detail-oriented; double-checks campaign setup before publishing live
Takes feedback and coaching well, and visibly applies it going forward
Proactive communicator: flags issues early and offers solutions rather than letting them compound
Willingness to learn, grow and be self-taught
Ability to follow SOPs and understand tasks conceptually, not just granularly

Clear path to a full-time, salaried position as our client roster grows, based on demonstrated performance and proficiency
