Growth Media Buyer & Creative Strategist Remote · Reports to the Founder/CEO · Competitive base + performance bonus

About The NordstickThe Nordstick makes innovative home fitness equipment, growing triple digits year over year. We've found product-market fit and we're scaling paid acquisition aggressively. We need someone who can do the rare thing well: buy media at real scale and drive the creative that makes it work. We think those two skills are converging into one job, and we're hiring for the person who already lives at that intersection. You'll report directly to the founder and own paid growth.The role in one lineOwn paid acquisition across multiple channels and the creative testing system that feeds it — and treat them as one job, because at scale they are.If you think media buying and creative strategy are two separate roles, this isn't the right fit. The accounts that scale are won on creative, not bid tweaks, and as AI eats the manual execution layer, the value is moving up the stack to strategy, creative, and judgment. That's where we want you operating.What you'll ownPaid acquisition — strategy and hands-on management across multiple channels, accountable for efficient spend and growth at scale.The creative testing system — hypotheses, variables, volume, and reads — built and run in lockstep with our creative team. You decide what we test, how we isolate what's working, and how many concepts to run before we trust a result.Scaling decisions — when to push, when to hold, when to cut a channel or campaign that's still hitting target but capping our growth or hiding waste.Diagnosis — knowing why a winner won (creative, offer, or targeting) so the next ad isn't a coin flip, and turning that into a repeatable edge.What success looks likeFirst 30 days: You've audited the account, found where spend is being wasted, and have a clear point of view on creative and channel strategy.First 90 days: A real creative testing framework is running, spend is more efficient, and you're scaling the channels that work with a clear thesis behind each decision.First year: Paid is a predictable, scaling growth engine with a creative pipeline good enough to keep it fed — and you know exactly which levers move it.You're probably right for this ifYou've personally managed $500k+ in monthly spend across multiple channels — not on one platform, a real portfolio.You've taken an account from $0 to six figures in monthly spend and know firsthand what breaks at each stage and how to fix it.You have a real, defensible point of view on manual vs. automated bidding and on creative volume vs. high-quality-low-volume — and you know when each applies.You build your own creative testing frameworks rather than working from platform defaults.You've been in the weeds at an agency or scaling brand, and you have opinions — including about what your last shop got wrong and what you'd do differently.Logistics — Fully remote. Competitive base plus performance bonus tied to the growth you drive.
