Senior Paid Social Strategist & Media Buyer @ Beachhead Digital
Published: October 30, 2026
Job description
Beachhead Digital is a boutique, AI-native performance agency for DTC brands spending $250K–$3M+/month on paid media (Quince, Suja, Nutrisystem, Blissy, Alice Mushrooms). We’re hiring a Senior Paid Social Strategist to be the engine on a few client accounts: hands-on in Meta,TikTok, & Applovin every day, owning testing, optimization, pacing, and the performance story.
What makes this seat different: no account managers. You’re on every client call and in their Slack, and when it’s a paid social question, you answer it. You work alongside the founder and a Senior Growth Strategist as a team: they lead the overall growth strategy and client relationship, and you lead the paid social strategy within it, bringing your own point of view on structure, testing, creative direction, and where the next dollar should go, and presenting it to the client yourself. You inherit documented playbooks and an AI-native workflow that removes the reporting grind and monotonous work like ad uploading.
Buyers who build strategic altitude move into leading relationships directly, and it’s earned fast.
Comp: $80–100K base + uncapped monthly bonus paid monthly (OTE $100–130K+), plus equity

Experience Requirements
Must-haves:
• 2–6 years of hands-on paid social buying for DTC ecommerce brands, Meta primary (TikTok a strong plus)
• You’ve personally driven 2x+ growth or a documented efficiency turnaround on a DTC Meta account spending $100K+/month while hitting the client’s KPIs, and you can walk through the numbers and exactly what you changed. $250K→$500K+ is strongly preferred. Client-funded budget increases, seasonal lift, and “the team scaled it” don’t count.
• Currently in ad accounts daily, not overseeing people who are
• Client-facing experience: you’ve presented performance and answered paid social questions directly with clients
• You think in business metrics (MER, new-customer CAC, LTV:CAC, contribution margin), not just platform ROAS
• AI is already in your daily workflow; if you’ve built automations, workflows, or agents, tell us
• Comfortable checking accounts on weekends when the data calls for it
Not a fit: if you want to move away from hands-on execution toward pure strategy, want an account manager between you and the client, or are looking for a role you can coast in.
Strongly preferred: agency experience, Triple Whale/Northbeam/Motion, Applovin.
