Overview: We are seeking a Freelance Ads Strategist who is eager to be the architect of multi-channel acquisition strategies that drive clicks but, more importantly, fund humanitarian aid and protect democratic institutions. In this role, you will drive the innovation that crushes our clients’ direct response and other acquisition goals.

Must-have qualifications:
- At least 3 years of experience managing complex paid media portfolios in a high-growth startup, a major agency, or a political organization.
- A Product Manager approach to ads – you care as much about the post-click experience and conversion rate optimization as you do about the CPM.
- Excellent quantitative reasoning skills, proficiency using Excel, and ability to apply data to strategic decisions;
- Extensive experience with the backend of ad managers.
- Obsession with optimization: At MissionWired, finding the extra 5% of efficiency could mean an extra $100k for a client’s mission.

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
