Paid Ads Specialist

Headquarters: Atlanta, GA URL: https://paidadscoaching.com/ The Paid Ads Specialist owns the day-to-day execution of Paid Ads Academy's own paid media, the campaigns that drive traffic and leads into our challenges, masterclasses, and evergreen funnels. You take the targeting, budget, and testing plan the Senior Paid Ads Coach sets and run it: building campaigns, watching spend daily, and reporting on what is working across multiple platforms: Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. The Senior Paid Ads Coach owns strategy, budget authority, and the performance thresholds. You own execution: the builds, the daily optimizations inside those thresholds, the tracking hygiene, and the reporting that tells everyone the truth about what happened. A strategy is only as good as the account it runs in. What makes this different from an agency seat is whose money it is. This is our budget, driving leads into the programs that fund the company. When cost per lead drifts, it is not a client conversation, it is our margin. We also teach paid ads for a living, which means our own accounts should be the strongest example of the work we put in front of students. You will be one of the people who makes that true.
