Paid Social Specialist

About the role

• We're looking for a Paid Social Specialist who knows their way around the major social platforms and is ready to jump in, take ownership and help drive smart, effective social media campaigns

• You'll help manage paid social campaigns from setup through reporting, working across platforms like LinkedIn, Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat and TikTok (and potentially others depending on client needs).
• To be clear: this is not a content creation role. Our creative teams and/or clients provide the creative assets - your job is to make sure those assets are launched, targeted, optimized and working hard in the platforms.

• Monitor pacing, performance, budgets, KPIs and delivery to ensure campaigns stay on track.

• Collaborate across Mod Op's SBUs to keep projects moving smoothly.
• Partner with platform reps and any other third-party vendors to stay current on best practices, testing opportunities and platform updates.
