4+ years running Meta ads, agency-side, across multiple accounts simultaneously
High-ticket or long-sales-cycle lead gen experience (automotive, real estate, solar, home improvement, medspa)
Proof: you can show account results and explain the decisions behind them
Working design ability in Canva (templated variations, not original art direction)
Familiarity with GoHighLevel or similar CRM on the receiving end of your leads
Fluent written and spoken English
4+ hours daily overlap with NZ business hours

How to apply:

Start your application with the word EMBER in capitals, followed by your favourite car brand
Answer in writing: (a) A client's CPL doubled in two weeks with no account changes. Walk me through your diagnosis process. (b) What's one thing most media buyers get wrong about retargeting? (c) What KPIs would you report weekly to a car dealership owner, and why those?
Include a 2-minute Loom introducing yourself and describing the best-performing campaign you've ever run and why it worked
