Have end-to-end ownership experience with Meta, TikTok, or Snapchat, ideally across more than one platform and multiple times, and have managed high-volume accounts while maintaining control of their structure.

Responsibilities
Own paid growth end to end, including budget, channels, creative testing, and performance metrics, working directly with founders, product, and data teams.

Run campaigns day to day on Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat, including budgets, pacing, and targets.
Build a creative pipeline that supplies new creatives weekly, defines what wins or is discontinued, and turns performance data into briefs for future ads.
Direct editors, video producers, user-generated-content creators, and agencies to deliver the volume and quality the account needs.
Allocate budget across campaigns based on data while weighing potential upside against risk.
Select and interpret measurement metrics, such as comparing what cost per thousand impressions conveys with what cost per click does, and detect cost shifts when they occur.
Build the reports, scripts, and automations needed, using advertising-platform APIs and artificial intelligence tools.

Experience in a startup or small team where you set up paid buying yourself.
Experience owning more than one paid social platform and doing so multiple times.

Who we are
Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 24 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 4 billion minutes worldwide.
Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, Melotech has raised more than $16M from Drive Capital and Europe’s leading VCs: Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and Global Founders Capital, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.
What you will do
Melotech is scaling fast. As Growth Manager, you own our paid growth end to end: the budget, the channels, the creative testing and the numbers behind them. You decide where the budget goes, and you work directly with our founders, product and data team.
Your first job is to bring structure to our paid social account: decide what to consolidate and what to split, separate testing from scaling, and segment by geography, age and placement so every number means something.
We will walk you through exactly what we are building as you go through the process. On a typical day, your tasks may include:
Account structure: deciding what to consolidate and what to split, keeping testing and scaling apart, and segmenting ad sets by geography, age and placement
Campaign operations: running the campaigns day to day on Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, including budgets, pacing and the targets behind them
Creative pipeline: building a system that keeps new creatives flowing every week, with clear rules for what wins and what gets killed, and briefs that turn last week's numbers into next week's ads
Creative partners: directing editors, video producers, UGC creators and agencies to the volume and quality the account needs
Budget allocation: moving budget across campaigns on data, weighing upside against risk
Measurement: knowing which metric answers which question, for example what CPM tells you that CPC does not, and catching a shift in cost the day it happens
Tooling: building the reports, scripts and automations you need, with the ad platform APIs and AI tools as your daily coworkers
Who you are
We're looking for a hands-on paid operator, or a sharp growth generalist who has done the buying. Either way, you have run real budgets yourself, not through a team or an agency, and you can show the numbers.
Typically, your profile will look like this:
Experience: 2 to 7 years of hands-on paid buying, ideally in a startup or small team where you set things up yourself
Paid social channel ownership: you have owned Meta, TikTok or Snapchat end to end, ideally more than one of them and more than once, and you have run accounts at real volume, so you can explain how you structured a large account without losing control of it
Creative testing at scale: you test on a schedule with kill rules, direct creative partners instead of making the ads, and notice when a hook or format is burning out; ideally you bring a network of trusted editors, creators and agencies
Budget decisions: you are comfortable allocating a budget across many tests and making structured decisions under uncertainty
Measurement: you check what platforms report against your own data, you have run holdout or lift tests, and you know which metric answers which question, for example what CPM tells you that CPC does not
Data and tooling: you work in SQL or Python, have used the ad platform APIs, and build your own reporting and automations; a data science background is a plus
Pace: you thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment
A big plus: you stay close to what works in paid social right now, and you're into music, media, gaming or social
What makes this exciting
You own a lever the whole company feels, and your work shows up directly in how fast we can grow. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.
We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
What the process will look like
We hire on a rolling basis. Earliest starting date is always ASAP.
Once you begin our process, you can progress from start to offer within a week, depending on how quickly you can move through each stage:
Initial interview: 30-minute introductory call, getting to know you
Case interview: 90-minute case discussion, present and debate your skills
Founder interview: 90-minute interview with our CEO, going deep on all topics
Offer, contract signing and onboarding
Note: As we are still in stealth, you will learn more about Melotech as you progress through the stages. By the end of the Founder interview, you will have a full grasp of our business and the details of your role.
