JOB OVERVIEW

About Us
Inner Circle Leads is a life insurance lead generation company built differently. We run story-first, identity-based paid media across Meta, TikTok, Google, and X targeting specific insurance verticals. We deliver exclusive, real-time, TCPA-compliant leads directly into our members' GoHighLevel (GHL) CRMs.

In our business, paid media quality is the product. One of our founding partners has managed $2M+/month in Meta spend and leads overall creative strategy. You will execute, optimize, and scale campaigns across platforms while driving new ideas and platform tactics.

The Role
You are our Senior Paid Media Buyer & Growth Specialist. You are a meticulous, data-obsessed growth marketer who thrives in a high-velocity environment. You don't just "run ads"—you manage media efficiency, test variables systematically, and build repeatable scaling engines.

Creative & Operational Support Provided: You don't need to edit or design. You will work directly with our in-house creative designer and video editor (producing hyper-realistic AI talking heads, direct-response video, and static variations). Your job is to drive creative strategy, run rapid testing roadmaps, maintain clean tracking, and scale budget profitably without breaking CPL targets.

Core Responsibilities

- High-Velocity Media Buying & Scaling: Build, optimize, and scale campaigns across Meta (Special Ad Categories), TikTok Ads Manager, Google Ads (Search, YouTube, PMax), and X. Manage account architecture, pacing, and daily CPL/CPA targets in a fast-paced environment.

- Meticulous Testing Frameworks: Design, track, and log creative and offer iterations in a centralized testing matrix. Systematically isolate variables—testing hooks, hold rates, visual angles, landing page message match, and lead form friction.

- Creative Strategy & In-House Collaboration: Partner with our Meta strategist and brief our in-house designer/editor with high-converting concepts (AI talking heads, user-generated-style assets, pattern interrupts). Analyze 3-second hook rates, video completion rates, and outbound CTR to iterate winning concepts.

- Advanced Tracking & Attribution Infrastructure: Own end-to-end event mapping and telemetry via Meta CAPI (Server-Side), Google Tag Manager (GTM server-side containers), GA4, TikTok Events API, and offline conversion imports (OCI). Ensure clean

- UTM taxonomy for accurate first-touch and multi-touch GHL attribution.

- Predictive Account Scaling: Manage ad fatigue, ad set saturation, CPL inflation, and auction overlap as budgets scale from $50k to $500k+/month. Know when to leverage CBO vs. ABO, cost caps, bid caps, and broad vs. segmented targeting.

- Advanced Dashboards & Cohort Reporting: Build live, executive-ready dashboards (Looker Studio, GA4) mapping spend, CPL, lead-to-call conversion rates, MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio), and downstream lead quality.

Required Experience & Seniority
- Battle-Tested Spend (Mandatory): Minimum $50,000/month (preferably $100k+/month) in ad spend managed personally across Meta, Google, TikTok, or X.

- Senior Media Buying Terminology & Mastery: Deep, working knowledge of CAPI, GTM server-side, Cost Caps/Bid Caps, CBO/ABO architecture, Value-Based Optimization, Match Rates, EMQ (Event Match Quality), and Offline Conversion Tracking.

- Meticulous Organization: Ability to manage complex testing matrices, log all ad iterations, and organize campaigns logically so data is clear, actionable, and auditable.

- Direct Response & Compliance: Proven track record in high-intent lead generation (quiz funnels, multi-step forms, instant forms) and navigating Meta Special Ad Categories (Credit/Finance/Housing) and TCPA compliance restrictions.

- High-Velocity Execution: Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with daily optimization checks, aggressive scaling goals, and zero patience for sloppy tracking or unrecorded tests.

Nice to Have: Direct experience in life insurance/financial lead gen, GHL lead routing familiarity, or experience with LeadConduit/TrustedForm telemetry.

What We Are NOT Looking For
- Generalist agency account managers who delegate technical setup or rely on basic platform defaults.
- Anyone who tests ads ad-hoc without logging metrics, tracking hook rates, or documenting why an iteration won or lost.
- Junior media buyers who have only managed small budgets without cost caps, server-side tracking, or multi-platform attribution.

How to Apply
To be considered, please send us:
- Loom / Video Submission (Mandatory): A short 2–3 minute video explaining why we should interview you, walking through your scaling methodology (e.g., how you use cost caps, test hooks, or manage CAPI/GTM), and showing live/past account dashboards or case studies if available.

- Case Studies & Media Logs: Proven results detailing ad spend, CPL, scale achieved, and examples of how you organize testing roadmaps.

- Technical Summary: A brief summary detailing the highest monthly budget you've managed, your preferred tracking stack (CAPI, GTM, GA4), and your approach to Meta Special Ad Categories.
**********Applications without a video submission and verifiable campaign data will be automatically ignored.************
