Shameless Snacks makes low-sugar gummy candy that tastes like the real thing. Every bag has 3g of sugar, is packed with fiber, and is vegan and gluten-free. Our lineup of sour and fruit gummies (worms, bears, peach rings, Cherry Bomb, Green Apple Blast, and more) is sold on Amazon, DTC, and at major retailers across the country.

Small team, no bureaucracy, massive ownership.

The Role

We're hiring a Senior Growth Manager to own our paid media strategy and execution across Meta, TikTok, AppLovin, YouTube, Google and new channels. You'll be the strategic brain behind the buying: set the plan, scale what works, cut what doesn't, and drive toward contribution margin, LTV:CAC and payback, not just ROAS.

What You’ll Do

• Paid media strategy and execution across Meta, TikTok, AppLovin, YouTube and Google, within the budget set by the Head of Growth. Track daily and weekly pacing against revenue, new-customer and margin goals.
• Lead the buying team. Manage the Media Buying Coordinator; own killing, scaling and reducing spend.
• Profitable scaling. Grow spend profitably and know which channels, audiences and offers bring customers who subscribe and stay.
• Creative strategy. Analyze why ads win or lose, research competitors and formats, and brief the creative team with clear insights.
• Funnels for new audiences. Plan full funnels (ad, landing page, offer) and brief Creative, Dev/CRO and Design.
• AI-driven workflows. Use AI in day-to-day buying decisions, not just reporting.
• Forecasting and budget allocation. Recommend the channel split and forecast spend, new customers, contribution margin and payback.
• Measurement and reporting. Report blended and channel-level CAC, MER, CM%, LTV:CAC and payback; share a weekly recommendation with the Head of Growth.
• Emerging channels. Test new channels with clear success criteria and scale what works.

Let's Work Together if:

• You have 5-7 years in performance/growth marketing, including hands-on media buying (agency experience counts if you were the one buying).
• You have strong to expert hands-on experience in Meta, TikTok and AppLovin.
• You have a track record of scaling e-commerce direct-response ad accounts profitably, more than once, at large monthly spend.
• You have a strong understanding of creative strategy and creative testing.
• You actively use AI in your media buying workflow.
• You have working knowledge of unit economics: CAC, LTV:CAC, payback period and contribution margin.
• You have leadership experience, either managing people or managing an agency.
• You operate independently: you make calls with incomplete data and bring a recommendation, not just a report.

Nice to Have

• Google and YouTube Ads experience
• Subscription or replenishment business experience
• Food, beverage, candy or CPG experience
• TikTok Shop / GMV Max, Amazon or retail media exposure
• Incrementality, MMM or MTA experience

• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) Plan
• Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, and long-term disability
• PTO and 14 Observed Holidays
• Learning & development opportunities
• Stock option plan

• We operate with speed, ownership, and accountability
• Ideas move quickly from concept to execution
• Every team member has direct impact on company growth
• We value operators who think strategically and execute decisively
