VSL Marketing Manager / VSL Specialist

About Clients Blackbox

Clients Blackbox is a performance marketing agency that specializes in Meta advertising for Registered Investment Advisors. We help financial advisors grow their practices by generating qualified appointments with high-net-worth prospects. Our proven video sales letter methodology has generated over $45 billion in AUM pipeline for financial advisors across the country.

We operate with a performance-first mindset. Our clients hire us to deliver qualified appointments at a specific cost per appointment, with target show rates and close rates that make the math work for their practice. When we hit these metrics, everyone wins. We're going through a massive growth period and looking for a Senior Paid Media Strategist (aka VSL Marketing Manager / VSL Specialist) who owns their accounts end to end.

The Opportunity

This is not an execution-only role. You will own a portfolio of client accounts, running bi-weekly calls, managing campaign performance, writing ad copy, and being the primary point of contact for your clients. You are the strategist and the doer. If you want to hide behind a project manager and just push buttons in Ads Manager, this is not the role for you.

You'll report to the Associate Director of Operations and have direct responsibility for client retention and results.

Role and Responsibilities

Client Ownership

• Own client accounts and serve as the primary point of contact
• Run bi-weekly client calls to review performance, discuss strategy, and align on next steps
• Send bi-weekly performance reports 24 hours before scheduled calls
• Build trust and relationships that drive renewals and referrals

Paid Media Execution

• Build, launch, and optimize Meta advertising campaigns focused on lead generation and appointment booking
• Manage campaign budgets, audience targeting, bid strategies, and creative testing
• Monitor daily performance and make adjustments to hit cost per appointment targets
• Troubleshoot underperforming campaigns and develop intervention strategies

Copy and Creative Strategy

• Write ad copy and video sales letter scripts for financial services audiences
• Develop hooks, angles, and messaging variations for testing
• Collaborate with video editors on creative production
• Use AI tools to accelerate copywriting while maintaining quality

Technical Setup

• Set up tracking, pixels, and conversion events

Preferred Experience

Experience in the financial services vertical. Understanding of lead generation and appointment-setting campaigns. Familiarity with video sales letter marketing methodology. Experience with high-ticket, considered purchase funnels.

Skills and Attributes

You take ownership. When something breaks, you fix it. You don't wait for someone to tell you what to do. Strong communicator who can explain performance data to non-technical clients. Detail-oriented but able to move fast. Comfortable with direct client interaction and accountability for results. You want to be the person responsible, not one of three people sharing responsibility.
